Blog topic: Talking about the words "blending in", by: Brandee Marie Darden!! Monday, 8/28/23!! 

Intro to my blog!! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and welcome back to an all new weekly blog episode for today! How are y'all doing today? I hope everyone is doing okay and well! Whatever the circumstances might be, just know that y'all are never alone and I'm here for y'all no matter what! Happy Monday or in other countries, a happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had an amazing weekend because I know that I did!! Before I get into today's blog episode and this week's blog episodes, let's do a little recap of last week's blog episodes!! On Monday, I talked about my top 3 female Korean group or soloist whose makeup that I would love to do!! I would love to work with Jisoo from BlackPink! I love her so much and I feel like she would be fun to work with! I would also love to work with Jessi and IU! I could see myself do a colorful look on Jisoo and Jessi and a soft glam look on IU because I feel like IU will look really good with a soft glam look but in my head as well, I can also see her with a bright color makeup look but either way, all of them would look good with any makeup look!! On Wednesday, I talked about Jungkook's 7 concept photos, campaign edition! Honestly, when I saw these photos and the outfits, I wanted to freak out and scream because he looked so good and so handsome!! He looked so good!! On Friday, I talked about my 3 favorite dresses! The dresses that I picked out are amazing and the pink dress with the ruffles was giving me 1950s housewife getting ready for Easter Sunday!!

Now, without any further ado, let's get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about today's blog episode! Why I chose to talk about today's blog episode? What is this week's song of the week? Why did I choose this song as my song of the week? 

For today's blog episode, I will be talking about the words "blending in". In this blog episode, I will be talking about when I think about the words "blending in", what comes to mind? Why does it come to mind like that? Do I like blending in or standing out in the crowd? Why do I like standing out instead of blending in? What in my advice to all of my Blogger Dreamers who want to stand out instead of blending in? Why would I give out that advice? Why did I chose to talk about today's blog episode? I chose to talk about today's blog episode is because I don't believe in "blending in". I always believed in standing out because I feel like everyone should be different than the same!! What is this week's song of the week? For this week's song of the week, I chose "Do It Again" by Elevation Worship!! I absolutely love this song a lot and I think about how much God has done in my life and he has done it over and over again! He has blessed me with an amazing boyfriend who is so caring and I'm so blessed! Why did I choose this song as my song of the week? I chose that song as the song for the week is because God has blessed me so many times and he chose to do it over and over again and I am so blessed and I can't thank God for blessing me over and over again!! 

Talking about the words "blending in" vs "standing out". What is the difference between "blending in" vs "standing out"? Why is there a difference the two? 

What is the difference between "blending in" vs "standing out"? The difference between "blending in" and "standing out" is with blending in, you want to blend in with the crowd and you want to wear the same thing as everyone else vs with standing out, you want to wear something completely different and you want to have your own style and that's okay! It's okay to have different styles than everyone else! That is what makes you unique and different! For me, I love dressing up and wearing a dress with my white shoes! That makes me different and I am okay with that! Why is there a difference the two? The reason why there is a difference between the two is because when you are "blending in" with everyone else, you are acting like everyone else and you are not acting like yourself but if you "stand out" from everyone else, you are being different from everyone else and that is okay! It is okay to stand out from everyone else! That makes you who you are! I don't like blending in with other people! I like standing out and that makes me proud of who I am!!

What comes to mind when I think about "blending in"? 

When I think about the words "blending in", what comes to mind? When I think about the words "blending in", I think about being like everyone else in the world or a copycat! You want to be like everyone else to the point where you are copying them! You should never be like everyone else! You are your own person and God made you the way you are! You are an unique person and you should never copy anyone else! You are an amazing person and don't pretend to be anyone else that you're not because what's the point of doing that? There isn't a point of doing that!

Why? 

Why does it come to mind like that? The reason why it came to mind like that is because God made you the way you are! You don't need to blend in with anyone else! You don't have to be the person next to you or you don't have to wear the same clothes as that person! Every person is different and that's okay! You don't have to blend in or make yourself "fit in" into society because you're different! We are made differently and I love being different because no one isn't like me and I'm okay with that! A lot of girls don't like headbands but I do! A lot of girls don't like makeup but I do! I don't mind being different because I know God made me like this! I don't like parties or drinking but I know people who like doing that but that's fine! That's me! I am just a girl who loves Christian music, Kpop, blogging, writing, and reading her bible! I'm okay with being who I am!! I love being who I am!! 

Blending in or standing out?  

Do I like blending in or standing out in the crowd? With me, I love standing out! I am that type of that girl who likes to wear bright colors and keep to herself! Don't like bugging people unless it is my boyfriend but other than that, I like to keep myself and keep myself busy with other things! I'm not your average 25 year old who doesn't go party or even drink alcohol! I'm just a 25 year who loves to read her bible and work on blog stuff and work on her book!! I'm different and I'm okay with that!! I don't care if I blend in or stand out because either way , I'm happy the way I am and I love being who I am!! I don't care about blending in!! I rather stand out! That's who I am!! 

Why? 

Why do I like to standing out instead of blending in? The reason why I like standing out instead of blending in is because for me, blending in is boring! You are trying to act like everyone else and that's very boring but for me, I don't like acting like everyone else! My relaxing night at home is doing some skincare, read my bible, and listening to Christian or Kpop music and also talking to my boyfriend on Facetime on Mondays during the day and Fridays at night! That's how I like it and I am okay being different from other people because I know God made me the way I am and I love being me!! I'm okay with being different and if people don't like me, oh well! You don't have to like me because I love me!!

My advice! 

What is my advice to all of my Blogger Dreamers who want to stand out instead of blending in? To all of my Blogger Dreamers who want to stand out instead of blending in, here is my advice to you: Be proud of who you are! Be proud of what you like or what kind of music you like to listen to because it's okay to be different! You don't have to listen to the same music as everyone else! You can be who you want to be because God made you the way you are and that's okay! Just be you and don't be afraid of being you! Instead of being afraid who you want to be, be proud of who you want to be!! You are AMAZING and don't forget that!! 

Why? 

Why would I give out that advice? The reason why I would give out that advice is because I think everyone is afraid of being who they want to be and people might make fun of them but if they make fun of you, let them! You be you and be proud of who you are! Don't let people stop you from being you! You are unique and there is one you and there will always be on you! No one isn't going to be you and that's fine! You be you and that's it! Don't forget that! Always love yourself for who you are and don't forget that either! Don't stop being who you are!! 

In closing/ Tip of the day!! 

In closing, blending in is so boring! Standing out is more fun then blending in! I love standing out because I can be proud of who I am without being afraid of who I am! I love the listening to the music that I love to listen to! I love Kpop music and Christian music! I don't care about listening to either of them! I don't care about who likes me for me or not! If people can't accept me the way I am, then I don't need your presence in my life! I am not going to "blend in". I am alright! Thank you though! I am who I am and I am proud of it! Here is my tip of the day! My tip of the day is be happy to be you because there is one you and that's you! Don't blend in because someone told you to! Don't listen to anyone who tells you "you should blend in" because you don't need to blend in!! Just be you and that's it!! I love y'all so much! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers!! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here to remind y'all that y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode for today! Don't listen to anyone who is trying to tell you that "you should blend in". Don't worry about blending in because you shouldn't have to blend in! It's okay to be different and you should be proud of who you are! Don't let other people tell you otherwise!! For today's bible verse of the day, it goes like this: In Ezekiel 34:16, it says "The stray I will bring back, the injured I will bandage, and the weak I will strengthen". I absolutely love this bible verse a lot because when you are weak, you will get better by the power of God! God can heal you and get you back to having strength! God is powerful and he will help you get better! Just believe in him!! I love y'all and I hope everyone will have a happy Monday or in other countries, a happy Tuesday and I will see y'all on Wednesday where I will I will talk about my main reasons why I want to inspire others? I love y'all and remember "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams". Please, take care of yourself and I love y'all! This Blogger Queen is out! Peace!! ☮✌💚

Today's bible verse of the day! This is such a good bible verse and God will strengthen the weak!! 

"Deep in my heart,
I know I am a loner.
I have tried to blend in with the world
and be sociable, but the more people
I meet the more disappointed I am,
so I've learned to enjoy myself, my
family and few friends".
-Steven Aitchison! I find this so relatable I have tried to blend in with everyone but I couldn't but I came to accept that I am not like everyone else! I try to be social but every time I try to talk to new people, I get nervous! I just enjoy my family who care about me, a few friends that I do have, and my amazing boyfriend who I adore so much!! 

My tiktok about "blending in". Don't blend in because you feel like you should blend in with others, but stand out because God made you the way you are!! 

"You Are Designed By
God Not To Blend In, 
But To Stand Out".
-Myles Munroe. I love this quote so much because God made you the way you should be and you shouldn't have to blend in but you should stand out instead because God would want you to do that!! 

For this week's song of the week, I chose the song "Do It Again" by Elevation Worship because God continues to move mountains and he continues to bless me in my life over and over again and I can't thank God enough for all the blessings in my life!!
