boyfriend, book, & blog

"And God is able to bless you abundantly, 

so that in all things at all times,

having all that you need, 

you will abound in every good work."

2 Corinthians 9:8

Heyyy guys! I hope you all have been doing amazing, and staying safe from everything going on right now. It has been four months since I last posted a blog. Go easy on me if it seems off hahaha. I am honestly just trying to get back into this particular writing style.  

I am so happy to be back. I have so much to share about what has happened in the last four months. This is like a super quick summary, and I will go into detail about certain things over the next few weeks. I don't know how much I will be posting on here again (hoping and planning on being as consistent as possible), but I definitely won't be gone for another four months after this blog. I will do my best to post weekly for as long as possible again. 

(With so much going on, I know how easy it can be to overlook the little things. But spring is here! Flowers are blooming, and days are getting warmer. This world still has pretty things to offer.)

I will start with why I took such a long break from doing something I love so much. It is because I am writing a book, "Party Pooper: Growing up with Anxiety"! I was approved for publishing back in January. My first draft manuscript of my entire book was looked over a couple of weeks ago. I was told I am right on track for publication this July!! This is extremely exciting for me. I have always loved writing, and once I dropped out of college, my love for writing practically exploded. Writing and publishing a book has always been a dream of mine, and it is crazy (in the best way possible) to watch my dream come to life. 

If you haven't seen my burst of instagram posts, my book starts back from the time I was four (when I began to develop anxiety) up until this very day. Each chapter is from a different year / specific time period of my life, and how I learned to navigate through life with anxiety. It is basically my tell all, and I have done my absolute best to keep everything as lighthearted and casual as possible sort of like the blogs I write for you all. 

(This is just a placeholder! If you preorder, one of the many perks is that you can become a part of my Beta Community, and help me design the best cover!)

The excitement does not end there. While I have been writing away like crazy to meet deadlines and get this book on track for publication, I met and started dating my boyfriend. (I will talk more about him and our temporary long distance relationship in the next blog.) For now, all you really need to know is that I am extremely happy. Everything has been going so well and smoothly for us. I cannot wait to see where God leads the two of us. 

(My favorite <3 )

For now, I will wrap it by saying. Thank you to each of you who have supported me in any way, even if it is just liking one of my posts on Instagram. A special thank you to those of you who have already preordered my book. EVERY contribution counts. $4000 is a ton of money to raise in the next 30 DAYS, but I am trusting God through it all. 

Last but not least... you ALL are soooo loved and appreciated! <3 <3 Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. Please keep praying for my grandmother, and now, I ask that you please pray for my book.   

Let's talk! I love hearing your own stories and opinions! If you have any questions / comments / concerns that you would rather not comment down below, direct message me or email me!
