So, this is my first blog. I thought it would be interesting after reading
Kandee Johnson's blog (she's a makeup artist) and I love hers so I thought it would be cool.
I go to school up in North Carolina, I'm a freshman and I hope to study instrumental music performance for violin. I've played for about 7 years. I'm a bit nervous about my audition on the 26th though, and when I get nervous my hands sweat! Definitely NOT a good thing when you play an instrument that requires both hands! Hahahaha.
I just wanted to use this first post and talk about Kandee Johnson whom I've mentioned above. She is more than a makeup artist, she also wants to encourage and inspire others (she inspired me to write this blog!) She is one of the most beautiful people inside and out and she just wants to spread love to everyone. Even though I've never met her personally, I feel that she is a true gift from God and just a rare treasure among this Earth that's filled with hate and sadness and negativity. You can also read her
personal blog where she talks about her personal life.
I also wanted to mention that we deal with hurt on an everyday basis, some more than others, and lots of times we deal with this hurt by spreading more hurt to others to make us feel better (I'm guilty of it too unfortunately!). But instead of letting that one person ruin our day we can look past it and say "This is not going to ruin my day, this person doesn't know me, I don't really care about this person so why should I care what they have to say?" or "If this person was a real friend they really wouldn't say stuff like that so I don't need this." and just keep thinking happy thoughts.
I used to be a pretty bad tempered person when I was younger and often I would say mean things to people to make myself feel better if I was having a bad day, but I've matured and mellowed out a lot and I don't get angry as often and I'm much more positive than I used to be. I'm definitely NOT perfect, I still am mean sometimes and don't do or say the nicest things sometimes but I always apologize if something is my fault.
Apologizing can be difficult too, people I know have either had trouble or still have trouble apologizing when something is their fault. I get it, it's hard sometimes! But sometimes we have to be patient with people. Lots of times I would apologize to someone when nothing was my fault JUST because I wanted to end the fight or whatever was going on, but now I wait for them because they have to learn to do it themselves.
Now I'm going to end this long lecture of a first blog. I hope it was somewhat interesting! If not then sorry it was so boring!
Love and violins
