Intro to my blog! 

Hello, my Shinning Star Butterflies! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is doing well and amazing! If not, that's okay! Everything will be okay! I will be here for anyone who needs me to talk to or just to listen! I will not put anyone down or bash anyone!! On Monday's blog episode, I talked about my dream date and what kind of flowers would I like to receive on the date! Talking about my dream date and what kind of flowers would I like to receive on the first date to me thinking about it, sounds crazy but when I talk about it, I feel like in the future, it could happen! I think watching movie and eating a home cook meal or even takeout sounds absolutely amazing or even going to the park and having a picnic while watching the stars also sound wonderful. A third option for a date would go to the beach and watch the sunset while having a picnic sounds so beautiful and amazing! With the flowers, I wouldn't mind receiving fake flowers because I love fake flowers! I think fake flowers are absolutely gorgeous and you can keep them alive forever! For today's blog episode, I will be talking about an update on my life! Yes! I will be talking about what has been going on in my life? Why have I been doing those things in my life? How am I doing mentally and physically? How is my exercising going? If someone isn't doing okay and they feel alone, what is my advice to them? Why would I give someone that advice? Before I get started with this blog, today is one of Shinning Star Butterflies birthday! Happy birthday to my best friend slash little brother! Happy birthday, Djarno! I hope you have an amazing day like you deserve! Thank you so much for always being there for me! Happy birthday! Now, let's get started with this blog! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about the importance of updating everyone about your life and what's going within your life, like important things? Why is it important to update everyone about your life? 

When it comes to your life, I feel like it is important to update about your life or talk about what is going on in your life that is very important such as important events in your life such as relationships or anniversaries or even the small things in your life. I also feel like updating people about how you are physically and mentally is also important because if you don't tell people how you are, they are going to assume that you are doing okay but in reality, you're not doing okay and I want to tell people that you are okay or not okay! Why is it important to update everyone about your life? The reason why I think it is important to update everyone about your life is because I want people to know that you're doing okay and that you're doing well or tell them something important that is going on your life! I feel like talking about what is going on in your life is very important and I feel like talking about what is going on in your life can be very important especially if it is something big like a promotion that you got at your job or a good grade at school or even the small things such as learning how to cook or learning how to drive! If people ask you "how are you doing", tell them the truth! Don't lie or beat around the bush! Always tell your family and your friends the truth because if you tell them the truth, they might be able to help you get through a hard or even a good time! Friends and family are very good people to have around when you are struggling!!! 

What has been going on in my life? Why have I been doing those things in my life?

What has been going on in my life? Well, a lot of things have been going on in my life! Not too long ago, I started exercising and trying to eat right. When I do those exercises, it makes my body sore but I wouldn't trade it for the world! I have been losing weight and I am extremely proud of myself! Most of my clothes are getting too big but that's okay! I completely cut out sodas! I only drink sodas when I go out to eat or go to a fast food restaurant and that's it. I would have one glass every blue moon but a lot of the times, you would find me drinking a water! Another thing that is going on in my life is that I'm still blogging. Yes! I am still blogging but I love it more than anything! I love waking up early and drinking cup of ice coffee and sometimes, eating breakfast and then, I will make my bed. Then, I will start blogging for the day on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's. This is what I love to do. I love making people happy and giving them advice that might help them in the long run. I might not be the best at giving advice, but I sure do try and I am proud of myself for trying! The third and final thing that has been going on in my life is I love waking up early and making my bed! I love waking up early and making my bed. When I wake up, I feel refreshed and I feel better! When I make my bed, I feel better because my bed isn't a mess and I hate a messy bed. I don't like it! Why have I been doing those things in my life? The reason why I have been exercising is because I want to do better for my life. I want to feel better about being who I am and I was just tired of being big! The second thing why I have been blogging is because when I blog, I feel so much better! I love doing it and it has become my daily routine. The third and final reason why I have been making my bed and why it has become apart of my life is because before, I wouldn't mind not making my bed because at that time, I didn't mind messy but after me and my ex boyfriend broke up in 2020, I realized that I need to make my bed and it is needs to be clean. Now, I like my bed clean and neat!! 

How am I mentally and physically? 

How am I mentally and physically? Well, physically I am doing good and well! Mentally, I have my hard times! There would be times where I want to give up because I don't feel happy at times and I just feel like crying all the time, but I remember I have my family and my friends who love me which I am truly grateful and blessed for. I also have my Shinning Star Butterflies who have supported me since the beginning of my blogging journey! Even though I am mentally doing okay, I am trying my hardest to get through everything that has been put in my way. Even though for me it is mentally hard, I am not that type of a person who doesn't give up easily! Yes, there would be times where I feel like I am drowning and I feel no one is going to save me, but there is people who would save me from drowning! I feel like right now if I think positive and not negative, I will get through it. I am strong and I don't give up easily! I am proud of who I am and I am proud of what I am becoming! I am becoming a better person then I was before. I am proud of who I am and I am not afraid to be who I am. I am not afraid to show my emotions and I am not afraid to wear my feelings on my heart! I am a strong woman who goes through problems like everyone else, but I don't give up and I am proud of myself! I'm strong and if anyone is going through any mental health issues, just know that you are strong! You are amazing! You are loved by everyone including myself! Never give up because you can fight through it!!! 

How is my exercising going? 

Y'all maybe wondering "Brandee, how is your exercising going"? Well, my exercising is going very well! I exercise almost everyday! There is some days I don't exercise and the reason why I don't exercise almost everyday is because I don't want to work myself to hard. Right now as I am typing up my blog episode for today, my legs hurt so bad but I don't regret working out and doing these dance workouts! I enjoy doing them a lot and I am proud of myself for how far I have come! I have come such a long way in my weight loss and seeing the difference from when I was in high school to now is unbelievable! I am so proud of myself and I am going to continue to work hard and not give up on my weight loss journey! I will continue to see the results and I will continue to work on myself because working on myself is the most important thing. I feel like working on myself to make myself happy and trying to make myself happy with my body is very important because you want to  love yourself and your body as well. If you love yourself but not your body, that's a problem! I loved my body and myself but I was just tired of being big! I was just tired of being overweight, so I had to change and that is what I did! I started exercising and I am so proud of myself for starting to workout and do those dance workouts! Those dance workouts are fun but you do get a workout out of them and that's for sure! It is way better than going to the gym and not only that, you can do it in your living room which is nice!! 

If someone isn't doing okay and they feel alone, what is my advice to them? Why would I give someone that advice?

If someone isn't doing okay and they feel alone, what is my advice to them? If someone isn't doing okay and they feel alone, my advice to them is don't give up! I know you feel like you are alone, but you have people here for you who love you! Don't give up! Everyone is strong in their own way! Everyone goes through different struggles, but at the end, they will end up victorious! They will be able to say "I did it! I didn't give up"! Everyone is strong and you have people who are supporting you and rooting for you! Never give up! Giving up isn't an option! Please, if anyone needs someone to talk to, I'm here for my Shinning Star Butterflies! I am not that type of a person who gives up on people! I keep fighting for them until they are doing okay! I want people to know that they are loved and that there is someone is who is there for them and that person is me! I will be there for someone until the end of time!! Why would I give someone that advice? The reason why I would give someone that advice to someone is because i want them to know that they are never alone. They are never will be alone! I don't want my friends or my family to never that they are never alone! I know that feeling and that feeling stinks! At times, I would feel so alone that I feel like no one is there for me but i know that there is people there for me and they will continue to be there for me no matter what! No one shouldn't have to go through their battles by themselves. If you are battling through something, just know that you are never alone! You have people supporting you along the way and I am one of those people! Don't give up!! You got this!

In conclusion/ Tip of the day!!! 

In conclusion, whatever you are going through in life, you should always update people about how you are doing or whatever what you are going through! Tell those people about your achievements or what has been going on! Don't hide anything from them because if you lie to them, they are going to think you are lying or they are going to assume that you are okay but deep down, you are not okay! Always update the people around you because you don't know when your last conservation with them could be! Always update people who you love and support you no matter what because those people will love you unconditionally and will always support you in anything you do! Here is my tip of the day! My tip of the day is you are never alone in this world! You have people who love you and will always be there for you no matter what! You have people who will cheer you on when you need to be cheered up! Just know that you will never be alone and you have people who you can talk to when you feel like you are alone! I'm here for anyone who needs support, love, and I will cheer you up to the best ability that I can! I will always be here for anyone who needs people to be there for them! You are not alone and I am here for anyone! I love each and one of my Shinning Star Butterflies so much and I will drop everything for my Shinning Star Butterflies and I will do anything in my power to make sure that everyone is comforted!! I love y'all so much and never give up! Your life is worth so much more and you are worth so much more! Don't give up! I love y'all!

"Wellness
Make your physical and mental health a priority"!
-Unknown. I love this quote because your physical and your mental health is very important. You need to take care of yourself first before you can focus on anything else. Always take care of yourself! 
 

"Everything will be okay
in the end. 
If it's not okay, 
it's not the end."
-Unknown. I love this quote because everything will be okay! Never give up or never loose hope. If it is not okay, it is not the end. It is okay not to be okay. Everyone goes through struggles! It is okay to have hard days but don't give up because you are loved by so many people! 

I'm screaming happy birthday from Mississippi to the Netherlands!!! Happy birthday to my best friend and my little brother and one of Shinning Star Butterflies, Djarno! I hope you had a great day like you deserved! Happy birthday! 

"There is hope, even 
when your brain tells 
you there isn't."
-John Green. I love this quote so much because at the end of the light, there will be hope. You just have to believe that there is hope and if you believe your brain, then it will bring you down and you need to believe that there is hope!!!

This song is called "You never walk alone" by: BTS! I absolutely love this song so much! This song reminds me of when I think I am alone but really, I'm not because I have people by my side forever and I feel like I am reminded that I will never have to walk alone and none of my Shinning Star Butterflies shouldn't have to walk alone either!!
