It is Blog Monday and you know what that means? That right! It is a new blog! Last week, I talked about my three poems which where "Believe in Yourself", "Life Goes On", and "Always Keep Trying". I absolutely love those poems a lot! All of those poems meant a lot to me! I put a lot of thought and meaning to them and they mean a lot to me! This week, I will be talking about the things that I am most thankful for this year, who I am thankful to have in my life, and my poem about "Dear Ex's". I think Friday's blog post is going to be really good and interesting! I can't wait to work on Friday's blog post! Stay tuned for that blog on Friday! For today's blog, I will be talking about things that I am most thankful for this year! I will be talking what am I thankful for this year? Why am I most thankful for that thing or things this year? What is the significance of me being thankful for that thing or things? Why is that thing or things so significant to me? Now, let's get started with my new blog! Shall we? I think we shall! 

What does the word "thankful" mean? Why does it mean to me?

In my opinion, the word "thankful" means something that you are proud to have in your life or the family or friends that you have in your life. The word "thankful" means to me is something or someone who you should give thanks to because once that thing or someone is gone, they are gone and they never coming back! I am thankful to be blogging and sharing my experiences with everyone around the world and telling people what I have been through! I am so thankful that I can spread positivity around the around the world! I am thankful for that! Why does it mean to me? Well, it means to me because I am thankful that God gave me a purpose in life and spread positive vibes around the world instead of negative vibes around the world! I am thankful to help people around the world and be happy doing it! I am so thankful! 

What am I thankful for this year? Why am I most thankful for that thing or things this year?

What am I thankful for this year? Well, the thing or things that I am thankful for this year are blogging, writing poems, and life! The first thing that I am thankful for this year is blogging. The reason why I am thankful for blogging is because I learned about myself more and me opening up to people around the world and sharing my experiences that I went through meant a lot to me and I am so thankful that I can do it and tell people my personal experiences or share my personal stories! I am thankful that I can do that for people who are struggling! The second thing that I am thankful for this year is writing poems! I started writing poems on August 28th and honestly, I love every minute of it! Writing poems has opened up a lot for me and honestly, I learned about myself more through blogging and writing poems then anything in this world! I didn't know my words could be so powerful but they are! The reason why I am so thankful for writing poems is because writing poems has become my escape from reality! When I feel low or down on myself, I write poems! I love writing down poems because I feel happy when I do it and sharing my work with people who I love and sharing it with people who support me means a lot to me! I love writing poems and I am so thankful that I could do it! The third and final thing that I am thankful for this year and every year is my life! My life has been through obstacle after obstacle that I can think of! I have been bullied! I also have tried to commit suicide but I couldn't do it because I have my great nieces and nephews that are looking up to me and I couldn't give up on my life! The reason why I am thankful for my life this year and every year is because throughout my life, I had people who doubted me and telling my parents and my family that "I couldn't read on my own. I couldn't tie my own shoes." But, guess what?? I prove those people wrong and here I am, 23 years later, tying my own shoes and reading on my own! I have prove people wrong time to time and I have never giving up and I am planning not to give up anytime soon! 

What is the significance of being thankful for that thing or things? 

The significance of me being thankful for blogging, writing, and life is that when I started blogging, I didn't know it would take me this far in life! I didn't know that it would mean a lot to me that I would call myself "The Queen of Blogging" or "Blogger". Blogging has been so significant to me that when people call me "inspirational" that it means a lot to me! I felt like I was meant to do is in life! I feel like I was meant to help people in life and help them with my words! Writing poems is thing that I have taken new in my life! Writing poems has been away where I want to write about what I have been through and stuff like that. Writing poems about "Self doubt" or "Family" or even about my favorite Kpop band "BTS" has meant a lot to me! Writing poems is a thing that has become my new favorite in life! I have went through a lot in my life and there has been times where I wanted to give up on my life but I couldn't give up because my life is worth living and I love my life now! I love the people who are in my life! I have amazing support system who supports me through my blogging journey! I also have my fan base aka my Shinning Star Butterflies! Life is so worth living! I am proud to live my life! I am proud of the person that I have come today! I am so proud of myself and I am going to continue to make myself proud! These three things have become so significant in my life that I am going to continue make myself happy without or without a man by my side. I have my family and friends that support me through everything and I am so thankful for that! I am so thankful that I could hug my family and friends around the world! I am a very blessed girl!

Why is that thing or things so significant?

The reason why blogging, writing poems, and my everyday life is so significant to me is because when I wake up every morning wanting to either write blog ideas or poems, I feel happy to live this life! I am happy to find something that I can enjoy life because life is worth enjoying when you have a positive attitude! I am happy to wake up everyday happy and realizing that life is worth living and being happy! I look at my BTS posters and realize to myself "I need to get up and love myself because no one else isn't going to love me but myself" attitude. I think when you find something you love and enjoy, it means a lot to you and you never want to give it up in life! I am thankful to enjoy my life, blogging, and writing poems! I am so happy to share my personal experiences with my family, friends, and my Shinning Star Butterflies! I am so thankful that I can share what I went through and tell people it's okay not to be okay but just never give up because life is worth living and you need to be happy! You are going to have hard times in life but that is all apart of life! You live, you learn, and you grow from your mistakes! That is the only way that you can grow! It's okay to make mistakes in life, but when you make a mistake in life, you grow from it and you learn from it as well! Be thankful for everyday life because you never know when you are on this earth until it's your last day! Just be happy and thank God everyday for your life because life is so precious! Never give up!

My poem about blogging! I love this poem because when I wrote this poem, I didn't know how much blogging meant to me until I started blogging! Now, blogging is my life and I never want to give it up! I love blogging so much! 

"Life is a 
journey to be
experienced, 
not a problem 
to be solved."
-Winnie The Pooh. I love this quote because life is about enjoying new experiences and enjoying new things in life not about solving a problem in your life! Enjoy your life and worried about your life later !

This blogging journey has been so phenomenal that I can't describe it in words! The love that I have been receiving for my blogs! It is so amazing and awesome!
