Talking about my blogging experience this year! By: Brandee Darden. 💜💜 

Intro to my blog! 

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! I hope everyone had an amazing Tuesday and if not, that's okay! Everything will be okay! It just takes time! Never give up! On Monday, I talked about my end of the year! I talked about since it is December and it is almost the end of the year, what are some good things that happened this year? What are some things that weren't so good? What am I looking forward for next year? Why am I looking forward for next year? What are some of my favorite memories from this year? This year has taught me a lot! It has thrown me some curve balls and I am not going to lie. This year, I went through some hard stuff and one of those hard stuff was going through some days where I felt miserable and sad and felt like I wasn't worthy of love! I also had those negative thoughts in my head basically telling me that "I wasn't good enough or no man was ever going to love you because of my teeth". Well, I am not going to listen to those negative thoughts because I know that I am beautiful and I don't need a man to make me happy! I prefer to be on my own for right now and then, maybe in the future to be with someone! We will have to see on that!! For today's blog, I will be talking about my blogging experience this year! I will be talking about since starting blogging this year, how has my experience been so far? What has been the most memorable part of blogging this year? What can everyone expect from me next year? Why can y"all aka my Shinning Star Butterflies expect that from me next year? Y'all ready for today's blog? I know that I am! Shall we get started with this blog post? I think we shall!! 

Talking about my blogging this year and what has been the hardest blog to talk about out of all the blogs that I did this year? 

This year, I started my blogging experience on May 15th, 2021 and ever since then, I have been sticking with it and I am loving every minute of it! I posted my very blog on my room blog page and my blog post was titled "The meaning behind my room and my room so far". In that blog, I talked about what is the meaning behind my room and what it mean to me. The meaning behind my room is my room is a safe place where I can listen to Kpop music without being judged! I can enjoy watching Korean dramas and Thai dramas without being interrupted! My room is my safe place and it is my Kpop paradise and I love it so much! I am proud of myself sticking to my blogs and telling people my stories and what I have went through so far! If I had to pick the hardest blog to talk about out of all the blogs that I did this year, it would be my suicide attempt story! To me, that was the hardest blog to ever talk about because I went through some hard stuff back in 2018! It wasn't easy but in that part of my life, I lost the most important people in my life and on top of that, we also moved and I was very suicidal as well! When I was talking about it, it was the hardest thing ever! I never thought I would have the courage to talk about something that happened to me but I did and I am so happy that I can talk about it with my Shinning Star Butterflies! If you know someone or even yourself who is going through any negative thoughts or is struggling to get through life, help them through it and tell them that they are not alone! Suicide is NOT the answer! There are people who love you so much and who will never give up on you! Never quit!! 

Since starting blogging this year, how has my experience been so far?

Since starting blogging this year, how has my experience been so far? The way I can describe my experience so far is very amazing! Blogging has given me a platform where I can share my share my stories, my experiences, or any advice that I can give to anyone who is going through a hard time. I love that blogging can give me that platform and I can share what I have went through! Sharing what I have went through makes me a stronger person and I am willing to share my story with anyone who can relate to it! I want people to know that they are never alone and they will never be alone because I will always be there for my Shinning Star Butterflies. I want my blogs to tell a story and I want to convey that story the best way that I can! I want people to know that they will never be alone and that I will always be there for them no matter what happens! I want people to know that they are loved and that over here on my blogging journey, you are loved and that no one will never judge you because I will never let that happen! My blogging experience has been so amazing and I have enjoyed planning blogs and typing up these blogs for my Shinning Star Butterflies! I am happy at what I am doing and I will continue to do what makes me happy and what makes others happy as well! I hope and pray that my stories and my advice helps people out there in the world! 

What has been the most memorable part of blogging this year?

I think the most memorable part of blogging this year is coming up with a name for my fan base! I remember for months and months that I didn't have a name for my fan base and I felt so horrible for not having a name for my fan base but after coming up with a name, I was happy! I honestly love the name for my fan base because when I think of "Shinning Star Butterflies", I think of glitter, bright stars, and of course butterflies. I remember growing up, I have always loved glitter or anything shiny and that still carries on into my adulthood. I don't how old I am, I will always love glitter. Glitter is always my favorite thing and I will always love glitter! When I was growing up as well, I always love butterflies as well! Butterflies are my favorite and when I think butterflies, I think of them as a person who is growing up and maturing as they get older and that is what I felt like! Coming up with "Shinning Star Butterflies" is absolutely perfect and I love it so much! I will always keep that name for my fan base and that name will never be changed because I love it so much!! I am proud of that name and I am so happy that name will always be apart of my blogging experience and I am so happy that I can have that name for my fan base aka the people who love me for who I am and the person who I was meant to be! 

What can everyone expect from me next year? Why can y'all aka my Shinning Star Butterflies expect that from me next year?

What can everyone expect from me next year? Well, I think everyone can expect from me next year is amazing more blogs and more poems! I think my Shinning Star Butterflies can expect from me is more poems especially because I love writing poems and writing about what I have been through or talking about what is real! I also wrote a poem about my past self so that should be interesting! There will be a blog post about that very soon which I am very excited about!! Why can y"all aka my Shinning Star Butterflies expect that from me next year? Well, the reason why y'all can expect that from me next year is because I love writing poetry! Writing poetry has been apart of my routine and I am happy that it is apart of my routine! I think writing poetry and writing blog ideas have become apart of my routine is the best thing that has happened to me and I love writing a lot! It helps me get my feelings out and not only that, but also it helps what I am going through as well. I can't wait to share my stories with everyone around the world from India to Netherlands to United States! I am so excited to see what the future holds for me and my blogging!

In conclusion/ Tip of the day/ Question of the day??

In conclusion, blogging has become apart of my life and I am so happy that it did! When I think about blogging, the first thing that comes to my mind is how I am feeling at that very moment! When I am blogging, I am pouring out my feelings and showing everyone how I am feeling! I want people to know why I love blogging so much or what I am trying to convey through my blogs. I don't just do blogs for fun but I do them because I enjoy it! It brings so much joy to my life and it also brings people joy in other people's lives as well. When people tell me that I am an "inspiration" to them, that brings tears to my eyes because when people tell you something like that, it makes you feel good inside and it makes you realize this is what you meant to do and I think I was meant to write blogs and potentially write my own books. Here is my tip and question of the day! The tip of the day is enjoy what you love doing! Enjoy what makes you happy because if you love it, keep on doing it! Blogging has brought so much joy to my life that I want to keep doing it! Enjoy what you love! My question of the day is if y'all had to pick a favorite blog by me, which one would it me? Why did you pick that blog by me? How can you relate to it? Let me know in the comments down below! I would love to hear y'all's thoughts. I love y'all! 

Alright, my Shinning Star Butterflies! Y'all have reached the end of my blog post for today! I hope everyone has an amazing night or day, wherever y'all maybe at in this world! Just know that you are loved by so many people in this world including me. I will never give up on none of y'all! I had people gave up on me but I will never give up on anyone because everyone means a lot to me! I hope everyone stays safe and has a wonderful day or night, wherever y'all maybe be at! Also, if it is cold where y'all are at, please please stay bundled up! I don't want my Shinning Star Butterflies to get a cold! Stay warm and I will see y'all on Friday! I love y'all and stay safe!
