The end of the year! By: Brandee Darden! 💟💙

Intro to my blog! 

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! Happy Monday or in other countries, happy Tuesday! It's a new blog week and I am absolutely excited for this week's blogs! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and I hope everyone has a good week ahead!!! Last week, I talked about the aesthetic that I picked out for my room, the room signs: "Dream" and "Good Vibes Only", and fake plant vs real plant; which one would I put in my future home. If I had to pick which one is my favorite blog from last week, it would had to be the aesthetic for my room because the aesthetic for my room is absolutely amazing and I think the hot pink and the black looks absolutely amazing with the grey walls! This week, I will be talking about the end of the year, talking about my blogging experience this year, and analyzing my poem "Every smile has a secrete". For today's blog post, I will be talking about the end of the year! I will be talking 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? Now, I should get started with my blog! Shall I? I think I shall get started with my blog post! 

Talking about this year!! 

This year, a lot has happened!! A lot of good things and some bumps in the road that I could get through! I went through a period where I didn't think that I wasn't good enough, but I know that I am good enough. It's just my brain was messing with me and telling me that I wasn't good enough. I watched some amazing people in my life get married and I thought it was beautiful. Watching people who you absolutely love get married is amazing! Another great thing that had happen this year was I started my blogging journey! To be honest, I honestly didn't know that I would started this blogging journey! I started this blogging journey on May 15th, 2021! My first blog post was on my room blog page and it is called "The meaning behind my room and my room so far". That blog is about what is the meaning behind my room and the meaning behind my room is I am just a girl who love Kpop and BTS! BTS has been a big part of my life and having some of their merchandise in my room and seeing some of their posters means a lot to me! My room is my safe heaven! My room is where I can escape from everything and just listen to BTS and listen to Kpop music in general! I can also watch Korean Dramas because I love Korean dramas. Creating a blog and talking about the progress of my room has meant a lot to me! Also, talking about what I went through such as bullying and suicide attempt has opened me up a lot and and I am not afraid to talk about those things anymore because I can talk about those things and say "that is apart of who I am as a person and I know I am not afraid to talk about it anymore". I am not afraid to talk about my suicide attempt anymore because I overcame it and I am happy that I can talk about it and say "I did overcame it and I am not afraid to talk about my past"!! 

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?

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 good things that weren't so good? The good things that happened this year was my dad and my bonus mom's wedding! You always want your mom or your dad to be happy, right? Well, I am happy for my dad because my dad deserves happiness and I am happy for them because they were meant for each other and I love spending time with them! The second good thing that happened this year was my older sister, Brandy getting married as well! You want your siblings to be happy as well, right? Well, being apart of her wedding was absolutely amazing! Seeing her happy makes me and I rather see her happy than not happy! The third and final good thing that happened to me this year was me starting up own blog! I can't believe that I would start my very own blog post! I started my own blog post on May 15th, 2021! It was on my room blog page! I didn't know what I was doing and I was just starting out! Don't get me wrong but, I was nervous at first because I didn't know what I was doing but not only that, I felt like people weren't going to like it. To my surprise, they actually like it and it made me so happy! My first blog post on my room page hit 124 readings and my first blog post on here reached 201 readings! I am only 23 years old and I can't believe that I am doing this! I am proud of myself! The first not so good thing that happened this year was my uncle passing away! That feeling that something is not right or that feeling when you love someone in your family so much that you don't want them gone; well, that is what happened to me. My uncle went to be with Jesus and it was so heart breaking. The most heart breaking thing is, I had to watch my dad cry! That is what killed me the most! The second thing that wasn't so good was when I went through a period when I was feeling depressed and I felt like giving up. There was a voice in my head and it was telling me "You aren't good enough. You will never be good enough". Hearing those things in my head killed me! I know that I am good enough. I don't want to listen to those voices in my head! Never loose hope! The third and final thing that wasn't so good was finding that I had a broken tooth that caused me so much pain. Yes! I was going through a really bad tooth pain in my mouth and everyone thought, "Oh! It's your wisdom teeth coming in", but sure enough, it was a broken tooth that was causing me so much pain! I am happy that they found the reason why I was in pain but the down fall was, I had surgery and that wasn't fun at all but I am happy that the pain is gone! 

What am I looking forward for next year? Why am I looking forward for next year? 

The things that I am looking forward for next year is working on more blogs and writing more poems! I think showing off my craft and what I am capable of doing is remarkable and amazing! Showing people what I love to do and seeing people who are inspired by me makes me realize that I was meant to be a writer and I would love to write my own book and travel around the world to meet my fans who read my book! That would be a dream come true! The second thing that I am looking forward for next year is a possible comeback for BTS! That would be awesome! If they come out with a new CD or a new album, I would freak out! The third and final thing that I am looking forward to next year is possibly finishing my room! That would be nice! My room being all finished and seeing it all looking absolutely amazing and fabulous! I am praying that I can finish my room sometime next year! The reason why I am looking forward for next year is because I feel like next year would be a good year! I feel like next year would be a good year and better year than this year! I pray for the better and hope for the worst! I am praying for good vibes only because I want to be happy and not sad! Being sad is not fun! It is miserable! I want to be happy and I am going to continue to be happy! Besides, being happy is much better than being sad! The second reason why I am looking forward for a possible comeback for BTS is because they have amazing music! Their music is so good that I enjoy listening to it! I am so proud of them! I am actually happy that they are having a break and spending the holidays with their family! They deserve it! The third and final thing why I am looking forward to possibly finishing my room sometime next year is because I want to see how my room will look when it is all done and completed! I am looking forward to seeing how it looks when it all completed and I am looking forward to showing off my room soon! So exciting!! 

What are some of my favorite memories from this year? 

Some of my favorite memories from this year was watching a live stream concert by BTS when they were in LA! When I was watching that concert, I felt like that I was there! It felt so amazing and watching them performing for us Armies was such an amazing feeling! I couldn't be happier just to watch them perform! My second favorite memory was starting a blog up! When I started blogging, I didn't know it was going to be a big part of my life until I started waking up at 9 am and getting to work on my blog and post it for my supporters! Working on my blog the night before and then, getting up at 9am and finishing it up and sending it to people has been a big part of who I am! When I think about blogging, I feel like this is my job and I absolutely love it! The third and final memory that is my favorite is watching my favorite people getting married! Watching my dad & my bonus mom, my older sister, Brandy and my brother in law, William getting married, it was such an amazing day to witness people who you love and who support you get married! You want them to be happy and I rather them be happy than not happy at all. I love them so much and I am happy to watch them all get married! 

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

In conclusion, this year was overall good and a little bit bad but that's okay because it will get better and I will never give up! I will continue to fight for being happy and I will continue to make myself happy! I will never loose and I want to continue being a person who is an inspiration to everyone around the world and I want to inspire myself as well! Here is my tip and question of the day! My tip of the day is never give up on yourself or dreams because if you giving up on yourself or your dreams, then you are throwing the towel and you are giving up on not just yourself but also your dreams. Never give up on yourself and your dreams! Always keep fighting for your dreams! I can't wait to see what 2022 has in store for me, my family, my friends, and my Shinning Star Butterflies!! My question of the day is: What is your favorite memory or memories from this year? What are some good things that happened this year? What are some not so good things that happened this year?
