Whatever it is going through your mind or whatever it is bothering you, just know that I am always here for my Blogger Dreamers and you are loved here! Don't let people knock you down because you are amazing as you are! Don't change for someone who doesn't accept you as you are because if they can't like you as you are, then you don't need them in your life!! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday! Before I get into today's blog episode or do a recap of Wednesday's blog episode, I want to remind everyone that I will be taking a break next week but don't worry, I will be back! Now, on Wednesday, I did a birthday tribute for my dad for his birthday! My dad is a special man in my life who makes me happy and who is very caring and loving and I am so blessed to have an amazing dad who can make me laugh! If y'all haven't read that blog but would love to, the blog is called "A birthday tribute to my dad"! Please, go check it out whenever y'all can! Please! Thank you so much! Now, for today's blog episode, I will be talking about things that stood out to me in 2023! In this blog episode, I will be talking about if I had to pick 3 things that stood out in 2023, what stood out to me? Why did those 3 things stood out to me? What lessons did I learn from this year? Why did I learn those lessons? What is my advice to my Blogger Dreamers who struggled in 2023? Why would I give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers? Now, without any further ado, let's jump into our blogging imagination and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about my 2023! How would I describe my 2023? Why would I describe my 2023 like that?

How would I describe my 2023? If I could describe my 2023, it would be a wild ride of changes! I saw changes in myself that I was like thinking to myself "how did I change so fast"? I went through a spiritual change which I am so proud of myself for! I started to pray more and not only that, I have a place where I can call "my prayer room" which I am so proud to call that! Another thing that changed is that me and my amazing boyfriend made a year! To me, it doesn't feel real but at the same time, it does! I can't believe that me and my boyfriend made a year! This has been so crazy but to think that I have changed this year has been crazy but I am proud of my change! I am proud of who I am! If people can't accept me as I am, then you didn't accept me at my worst! Why would I describe my 2023 like that? The reason why I would describe my 2023 as wild ride of changes because I changed my life completely and not only that, I became more confident of who I am! I am proud of the changes and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me for the rest of 2023 and into 2024!! 

3 things that stood out to me! 

If I had to pick 3 things that stood out in 2023, what stood out to me? If I had to pick the 1st thing that stood out to me in 2023, the 1st thing that stood out to me was celebrating me and my boyfriend one year dating anniversary!! To think about me and him celebrating our one year has been amazing! I never felt so much happiness in my life and I feel so happy with my amazing boyfriend! The 2nd thing that stood out to me in 2023 is realizing who are my real friends are! When I realized who were my real friends were, I was fine! I am okay with not having many friends because I rather have real friends than fake friends! The 3rd and final thing that stood out to me in 2023 is the day that I professed my faith! On Wednesday, March 15th of this year, I walked up to my preacher and told him that I believe in God and I believed that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and I will never forget that day! The two things that I will never forget is the date of me professing my faith and the date of my baptizing! Those are the things that I am proud of and I am proud of myself for how far I have come within my spiritual journey! I am so proud of myself!!

Why?

Why did those 3 things stood out to me? The 1st reason why celebrating me and my boyfriend's one year dating anniversary stood out to me is because I never imagined that me and him will hit one year! Well, scratch that! I knew in my heart we would make it within one year but at the same time, I am shocked because this man treats me so well and he is so supportive which I love so much! The 2nd reason why finding who my real friends stood out to me is because I realized who are my supportive friends and who aren't! I find out having real friends is much better than having fake friends! I rather have a few real friends than a ton of fake friends! I realized that I am much better off with having a few real friends than having fake friends! I don't need that in my life and I don't have time with dealing with people don't want to be there for me and who doesn't want to support me! There is a saying "if you can't love me at my best, then you can't love me at my worst" and I truly believe that so much! If people can't deal with me having mental health issues than you can't have me being happy!! The 3rd and final reason why me professing my faith stood out to me is because when I told my preacher about believing in God and that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, I felt such a weight off my shoulders and I couldn't be more any happier! I feel like I could breathe and I just such happiness in my life again!! I am incredibly proud of myself and I am happy that I can pray for the ones who are in need and spread the gospel!! I know that God is real and I know that Jesus died on the cross for our sins!! 

Lessons that I learned from this year!  

What lessons did I learn from this year? The 1st lesson that I learned this year is I need to learn how to let go of people who don't mean nothing to me anymore! I realized there are people who don't care about me anymore and I need to learn how to let them go by leaving them and that's what I did! I learned that if people can don't need me, I need to let them go which I am okay with that! The 2nd lesson that I learn is people are going to disrespect the boundaries that you made for yourself! When you make boundaries for yourself, people are going to disrespect them and they need to realize that you made those boundaries and they don't need to overstep their boundaries when it comes to you! The 3rd and final lesson that I learned this year is don't be afraid to ask for help! I realized when I thought I can but I can't do it and sometimes, I would be afraid to ask for help but when someone tells "what's wrong", that's when I need to tell them and for me, I don't want to burden others with my problems because when I do, I feel like I am overwhelming them and I don't like that feeling at all!

Why?

Why did I learn those lessons? The 1st reason why I learned the 1st lesson is because I always had trouble thinking about those people still care about me and they will always be there for me, no matter what but I was wrong and I starting to learn how to let go people who don't want to be there for me and I am okay with that! I'm strong and I will be fine with the people who are there for me! The 2nd reason why I learned the 2nd lesson is because I had people who wouldn't respect my boundaries and they disrespected my boundaries and so, I had to let them go and quit talking to me because they wouldn't stop adding me in group chats and not only that, I also had a friend who called me and my boyfriend "stupid" and I wasn't going to tolerate that so, I cut those people out of my life completely and I am okay with that! If I made boundaries for myself and you overstep my boundaries, I don't need you in my life and I am okay with people not being in my life! The 3rd and final reason why I learned that lesson is because I know I am going to have people who are going to be there for me and they will help me the best way that I can and I should never be afraid to ask help from others! I will never be afraid to ask for questions or if I am having problems in my life ever again!! I know there are people who are willing to help me and I appreciate those people more than anything in this world!! 

My advice!

What is my advice to my Blogger Dreamers who struggled in 2023? To my Blogger Dreamers who are struggled in 2023, my advice is I know you had a hard time this year! I know this year was hard for you, but don't give up! You are a warrior and I believe you can finish this year out strong! Please, don't give up! You are loved and you are amazing! Don't let this year tackle you because you are much better than that and I know that you have who you so much and they care about you more than anything in this world! I care and love to death and I am willing to listen to you and try to help you the best of my ability and I will be there for you, no matter what!! Don't quit and keep pushing through!! I love y'all so much! Don't forget that!

Why? 

Why would I give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers? The reason why I would give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers is because I want my Blogger Dreamers to know that they are never alone and that they have someone who is supporting them on and cheering them on! I want my Blogger Dreamers to know whatever they are going through, I care about them and I will always love them, no matter what! My Blogger Dreamers mean a lot to me and I don't want to see my Blogger Dreamers struggling! I want to see them as warriors and please, don't give up! I'm willing to listen to any of my Blogger Dreamers who might be going through a hard time! Don't listen to those voices in your head! You are much better than that and you are loved!! 

In closing/ Question of the day?

In closing, you are going to have moments in your life where times are harder than others but you need to realize that this is your life and people are going to walk out of it! I had a ton of people walk out of my life and I realized, "I don't need those people" and I am okay with that! In 2023, I was taught a lot of life lessons and I was cool with that because it made me a stronger person that I am today and I am proud of myself for that! I'm proud for how far I have come in my life and I can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for me and my Blogger Dreamers! Here is my question of the day is what stood out to you in 2023? Why did those things stood out to you? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know! I would love to read everyone's comments! Please! Thank you so much! I love y'all! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! I hope and pray that everyone enjoyed today's blog episode! 2023 was a learning year for me but that's okay because I am learning along the way and I am learning who you will respect me and who doesn't respect me and that's fine! We learn who are real friends are and who aren't our real friends and that was okay for me as well! I am okay to have at least 4 or 5 friends who care about me instead 10 or 20 fake friends who don't care about me! I am going to walk out of 2023 next month with my head held high and walk out strong! Now for today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "You had me with your words. You lost me with your actions". (Quotes 'nd Notes). I love this quote so much because words and actions are totally different things! You can tell me things all you want to but when don't show me that you are going to do something, then you lost me and that's not good! Show me the action because if you don't show me what you are going to do in my life, then I don't need you in my life! I love y'all so much! I pray that everyone will have a safe holiday and a happy Thanksgiving to my Blogger Dreamers who do celebrate it! I will see y'all on Monday, November 27th where I will be talking about what made me want to write a book? Stay tuned for that! I love y'all and have a good Friday or in other countries, a good Saturday! Have a wonderful weekend and until next time, "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on my next blog! This Blogger Queen is out! Peace! ☮✌💜

Today's quote of the day! If you don't show me that you do care about me or you are going to be there for me, then I don't need you anymore! You show me who you are and I am moving on with my life!! 

Me and my boyfriend on our 1 year anniversary! When a couple goes to church together, stays together!! 

"Many people will walk 
in and out of your life, 
but only true friends
will leave footprints in 
your heart."
-Eleanor Roosevelt. I love this quote so much because you are going to have fake friends who are going to walk out of your life, but you are going to have real true friends who are going to be there for you, no matter what!

Wednesday, March 15th, 2023- The day I professed my faith! I am so proud of myself for how far I have come and I can't wait to see what next year brings for me, my boyfriend, my true friends, family, and my Blogger Dreamers!!

                                              💙 Blog: A birthday tribute to my dad!! Blog by Brandee Marie Darden! Date: Wednesday, 11/15/23!! 💚 

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 where on this blog page, I talk about anything from my poems to anything that comes to my mind! First and further more, how are y'all doing today? I hope everyone is doing okay and well! Whatever you are going through right now, you are just going though a bad storm in your life! You will get through it and please, don't give up! I am rooting for you! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday!! Before I get into today's blog episode, here is a recap of Monday's blog episode! On Monday, I analyzed the song "Painting in the rain" by Todrick Hall, blog by Brandee Marie Darden! When I listen to the song and think about the lyrics, I think about the times where I would be held back or I was afraid of standing up for myself but now, I am not afraid to stand up for myself! If y'all would love to read that blog from Monday, please go check it out whenever y'all can! Please! Thank you so much! For today's blog episode, I will doing a birthday tribute to my dad! This blog episode is not just a regular blog episode but to me, this blog is special because it is for my dad! In today's blog episode, I will be talking about if I could describe my dad in 3 words, what would those words be? Why would I describe my dad in those 3 words? What makes my dad an amazing dad that he is? Why do those things make my dad an amazing dad that he is? What is the one lesson that I learned from my dad? Why did I learned that lesson from my dad? Now, without any further ado, let's jump into a new blog episode and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!! 

What makes my dad so special? Why does that thing make my dad so special? 

What makes my dad so special? I think what makes my dad so special is how strong and how funny he is! No matter what he is going through, he always remain strong for me and the people around him! He will make you laugh within an instant! My dad has been a special person in my life and no matter what I do in life, he is always supporting me, no matter what! My dad is special to me and no matter what, I will forever always be his little girl!! Why does that thing make my dad so special? I think the reason why how strong and how funny my dad can be is because he doesn't talk people's crap and he will always be there for you, no matter what and he would do anything to make you smile and for me, he can make me smile more than anything! He is an amazing dad and I couldn't be more blessed to have a dad like him!

3 words that I could describe my dad! 

If I could describe my dad in 3 words, what would those 3 words be? If I could describe my dad, the 1st word would be great! My dad has always been a great dad since the day I could remember! My dad was there for me when no one else was and I appreciate him so much! The 2nd word that I could describe my dad is funny! My dad can make you laugh so hard, like no one could ever do! My dad has this sense of humor and I love that about him! The 3rd and final word that I could describe my dad is caring! My dad has a caring heart! He cares about others and he will always care about other people! He cares about me when my other parent never cared about me! My dad is the most caring dad in the world and I am so blessed to have a caring dad in the world!!

Why?

Why would I describe my dad in those 3 words? The 1st word that I describe my dad is great and the reason why I described him as great is because he can cook great and he is a great person over all! The 2nd word that I describe my dad is funny and the 2nd reason why I would describe him as funny is because when he laughs, it is so funny that you can't help but laugh your butt off! He has this sense of humor that if he says something funny, you can't help but laugh and I am thinking that is where I got my sense of humor from my dad!! The 3rd and final word that I would describe my dad is caring and the 3rd and final reason why I would describe my dad caring is because he would do anything for anyone! Throughout my 25 years of living, he made sure that I was taking care of along with my nephew or anyone who he cared about! My dad is the most caring person who you will ever meet! He might looked imitating at first but once you get to know him, he is a good guy! You think you might be scared of him but he is not that scary! He is just a big teddy bear who has a soft heart! He even cried at my baptism which is rare for him to do! He is such an amazing dad and I am so blessed that God gave me a dad like him!! He is a wonderful dad!! 

Makes my dad an amazing dad? 

What makes my dad an amazing dad that he is? I think what makes my dad an amazing dad is how much he cares about me and he will take the time to learn about my dislikes and likes are! I feel like it is important to learn about your children and what they like or dislikes and for my dad, I remember him watching "RuPaul's drag race" with me and he was learning that I liked that show and for him to watch it with me, it is good to know that he was learning what I like and didn't like! He didn't care if I listened to Kpop music in the car because he knew that I like that type of music! My dad is a type of dad where he has a few rules but he isn't that strict at all! My dad is kind of lay back but he is the type of a person who wants best for you and I don't mind having dad who is very supportive and loving! I love having an amazing dad who will do anything for me!

Why?

Why do those things make my dad an amazing dad that he is? I think the reason why those things make my dad an amazing dad that he is because when he was learning about my likes and dislikes, he knew what I liked or what I didn't like and with him, he didn't care what I liked as long as I was happy about what I liked, he didn't care! My dad took care of me when I didn't have one parent in my life! My dad made sure that I had everything for school and he made sure that I am well taking care of! My dad was that dad where he was playing both the mom and dad and for him, I love that about him! He made sure if I was okay, he was okay to!! My dad is my best friend and will always be my best friend, no matter what! No matter how old I get, I will always be his little girl, no matter what and I am okay with that!!

The one lesson that I learned from my dad! 

What is the one lesson that I learned from my dad? If I could pick one lesson from my dad, it would have to be if you can't be nice to someone, don't be nice at all! That has always stuck with me! If you can't be nice to someone, don't be nice at all! If you can't be nice to that one person who has been there for you and always stuck at your side, don't be nice to someone who isn't there for you! My dad raised me to be kind to others even when they aren't nice to me at all but if they aren't nice to me, I just walk away from the toxicity from that person!! My dad raised me to be kind, not someone who is mean! I don't have a mean bone in my body! I always want to treat others with kindness because I believe in treating people with kindness is important because if you treat someone with kindness, you are most likely are going to get it back!!

Why?

Why did I learned that lesson from my dad? The reason why I learned that lesson from my dad is because my dad raised me to be the young lady that I am and he taught me if you can't be nice to someone, don't be nice to them at all and I realized that if someone can't be nice to me, I will just walk away from the situation and I will gladly walk away from someone who doesn't know how to be nice to me! I will walk away because I will not tolerate someone who can't be nice to me! If you are going to disrespect me, I don't need you in my life! You are just a waste of my time who doesn't care about me! I am going to keep that lesson from my dad and always apply it to my life!! 

In closing/ Question of the day?

In closing, happy birthday to the most amazing dad in the entire world! I'm so blessed to have a dad who is amazing, caring, and loving! My dad would do anything to make sure that I am okay and to make sure that I am doing right in my life! He might get on my nerves but at the end of the day, you only get one dad and I am pretty happy with the dad I have in my life! I wouldn't trade my dad for the world! Some people might not be as blessed like me but I know that there is someone who truly loves you whether it is a grandparent or a mom! I love my dad with all my heart and soul and I am always going to be a daddy's girl, no matter what! I am always going to cherish the memories that I have with him! There are times where he does get on my nerves but I still love him, no matter what! My question of the day is what is the one lesson that someone in your life that either your dad, mom, grandparent, or whoever raised you taught you? Why did you learned that lesson from that person? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know what kind of lesson that you learn! I would love to read y'all's comments and respond to them!! Please! Thank you so much! I love y'all! 

Hello, my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and y'all just reached the end of today's blog episode for today! I hope everyone enjoyed today's blog episode because I know that I did! This is the second blog episode that I did about my dad that landed on a blog day and I am so blessed that I get to do a blog about my dad because my dad is someone who has been there for me and cheer me on when I needed someone the most! My dad is my best friend and no matter how old I get, I will forever be daddy's little girl, no matter what! I will forever love my dad forever and always! For today's quote of the day, it is "No one is really busy. It all depends on what number you are on their priority list". -therandomvibez.com. I love this quote but I also find this quote very relatable because it doesn't matter how busy that person is but if they can make sometime or a priority for you, then you don't mean a lot to that person! You should always make time for others, no matter what! It doesn't matter how busy you are, what matters if you are there for them!! I love y'all so much! Have a great Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday and until next time, "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams"! I will see y'all on Friday where I will be talking about things that stood out to me in 2023! Stay tuned for that! This Blogger Queen is out! Peace! ✌☮💙

Today's quote of the day! Such an amazing quote! I find it relatable a lot because if I am not on your priority list, then I guess I am not important to you!!

For this week's blog episode, I will be talking about analyzing the song "Painting in the rain", by Todrick Hall, blog by Brandee Marie Darden, a birthday tribute to my dad, and things that stood out to me in 2023!! Stay tuned! Now, let's get our blogging brains on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!! 

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

For today's blog episode, I will be analyzing the song "Painting in the rain" by Todrick Hall, blog by Brandee Marie Darden! In this blog episode, I will be talking about when I listen to this song and I think about the meaning of the lyrics, what comes to my mind? Why does it come to mind like that? How can I relate to this song to my life? Why can I relate to this song in my life? What lyrics stood out to me? Why did those lyrics stood out to me? Why did I choose to talk about today's blog episode? The reason why I choose to talk about today's blog episode is because this song has a special meaning to me and I love how soft it is!! What is this week's song of the week? For this week's song of the week, I chose "Painting in the rain" by Todrick Hall! When I listen to this song, I think about the lyric "Right foot lifted, left foot chained" and when I think about that lyric, I think about when I thought I was free, but in my head, I wasn't and it is hard with dealing with something or someone who wants to give you trouble! Why do I choose this song for the week? I choose this song for the week is because it has a powerful message and if you listen to it, you will understand why I love this song and you will understand why it means a lot to me!! 

Talking about the lyrics!! In my opinion, what's the meaning behind the lyrics? Why is there meaning behind the lyrics? 

"Painting in the rain" by Todrick Hall came out in 2018 on a album called "Forbidden". When I listen to this song and looked at the lyrics, I think about the struggles that I have faced and here is how the lyrics go: "Sticks and stones

Hurt harder when you know their thrown

From no farther than your own sweet home

And you fall flat on the welcome mat

You won't be welcomed at

Walk that line

There's no when you gotta choose a side

There's no grey there's only black and white 

And it just ain't right 

If we fight that just like 

Painting in the rain 

Walking in slow motion trying to catch a moving train

Why we overdosin' just dull a little pain

Joining the parade just march the other way

It's like painting in the rain

Fighting for a difference but we never wanna change

Right foot lifted, left foot chained 

Eyes wide opened but denying what we

See, we might as well out painting in the 

Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain 2X

Paint the sky, with dark words

It's either do or die

To be heard you're gonna risk your life

And if the walls don't crumble down and fall

You might just lose it all

Walk away 

There's no danger when you play it safe

There's no danger if you just behave

But if we don't fight for our rights". What is the meaning behind the lyrics? The meaning behind the lyrics is when you are trying to fight your life, you one foot chained, but the other one is free but you're thinking to yourself "how am I supposed to fight for my life when one foot is chained and the other one is not"? You want to fight for a difference but you don't want to change! How are you suppose fight for a difference when you don't to change? It doesn't make sense!! Why is there meaning behind the lyrics? The reas0n why there is meaning behind the lyrics is because when you try to play it safe, there might be danger involve but when you behave, there is no danger at all! Just be careful how you handle life and how you do it because life is tricky!! 

What comes to my mind?

When I listen to this song and I think about the meaning of the lyrics, what comes to my mind? When I listen to this song and I think about the meaning of the lyrics, I think about the moments of my life! There might be times where I feel like one of my feet is chained but my other is free which is hard to explain! Sometimes, I feel like something is holding back but at times, I feel like something is holding back and I should never let that thing hold me back! We should never fight in the rain! Why are we fighting when it will cause danger? Let's not fight! Fighting in the rain will cause you to slip in the mud! I am just saying!!! The song is such a powerful song and it has a powerful message to it!

Why? 

Why does it come to mind like that? The reason why it came to my mind like that is because sometimes, when you feel like your trapped but then, you have one foot free but you have to stay in place, it can be a difficult thing because you have one foot that is free but then, you have one that is chained and you don't know what to do but stand there! You don't want to cause any trouble because you want everything to be okay! We shouldn't be misbehaving and causing trouble because being in trouble is not fun at all! Be careful what you do in life because whatever you do in life, it can cause trouble and people might want to fight you, so be careful! Don't fight and cause trouble!

How?

How can I relate to this song to my life? Well, the way I can relate to this song in my life is where I had one foot chained but the foot wasn't chained! I had moments where I had things hold me back in life but when I broke that chain, it felt nice to be let go and be free! I had moments where I couldn't stand up for myself because I felt trapped but now, I can stand up for myself all day! There are moments where I wish I could change certain things but how can I when I don't want to change it! I need to fight for my rights and move to the right direction! I can't stand there and let it resolve it by itself! I should start a change and not let anything or anyone hold me back! Don't let things hold you back!

Why?

Why can I relate to this song in my life? The reason why I could relate to this song in my life is because before, I couldn't stand up for myself and I had no voice to speak when I tried to stand up for myself and I was chained when I felt like something was holding me back! When I try to say something, it felt like someone would throw sticks and stones (not literally, but figuratively). I had people hurt me to the point where I couldn't stand up to myself but now, I am not afraid to stand up for who I am and what I believe in! People can hurt me all they want, but I am not going to sit back and let someone hurt me anymore!! I am going to be who I am and be proud of who I am!! 

Lyrics that stand out!! 

What lyrics stood out to me? There are several lyrics that pop out to me! For example, there is a lyric that goes "There's no when you gotta choose a side". When I think about that lyric, you should never have to choose side between a family member or anyone else for that matter! No one should ever have to be put in the middle because I know how that feels! Another lyric that stands out to me is "There's no grey there's only black and white". I feel like we should treat everyone equally and unfortunately, people don't know how to treat people equally because people treat people based on how they see that person which is not fair for that person! The 3rd lyric that stands out to me is "right foot lifted, left foot chained". You have one foot chained but the other foot is free but you feel like you are stuck and you don't know what to do and that's hard for you to go through! The final lyric that stands out to me is "To be heard you're gonna risk your life". You gotta take risks and to be heard, you have to let people know that if you want to hear me, I am going to do something and for me, if no one can't hear me, I am going to try my best to yell until someone hears me! I know what it is like to not be heard! It hurts to know when  someone doesn't hear me, I feel like I am being ignored and that's hard for me!! You should never have to feel ignored!!

Why?

Why did those lyrics stood out to me? The reason why the 1st lyric stood out to me is because when you have been put in the middle, you are thinking to yourself "I shouldn't have to go through this". You should never have to pick a side because I know that feeling! The 2nd reason why the 2nd lyric stood out to me is because everyone should be treated equally the same but unfortunately, that's not the case because people are so mean and cruel these days and I believe that people should be treated equally, not wrong! The 3rd reason why the 3rd lyric stood out to me is because when you have one foot chained and the other foot is free, you feel like something is holding you back and you should never have to feel like something is holding you back because you are much stronger that and you have to show whatever it is holding back how strong you are and you should never give up! The 4th and final reason why the 4th lyric stood out to me is because in life, we should always take risks and we should never be afraid! Never be afraid of taking risks! Do what you love and never be afraid to do anything that you love!!

In conclusion/ Tip of the day!! 

In conclusion, this song holds a special place in my heart! We should never have something or someone try to chain one foot but not the other! People can hold you back without realizing it that they are holding you back but you need to speak up for yourself instead of someone else doing it for you! Never be afraid to use your voice because God gave you a voice for a reason and you should use it for people to hear you! Don't let anyone tell you what to do because you are your own person and you should never listen to others unless there your parents, listen to your parents because they know what's best for you! Don't let strangers tell you what to do or don't let them bring you down because you are much better than that! Here is today's tip of the day: For today's tip of the day, treat people with kindness because there are people who will treat other people with no kindness at all and people will discriminate others because of their skin color or even where they are from which is sad! Please, be kind to others and don't discriminate others! Treat others how you want to be treated!

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and y'all just reached the end today's blog episode for today! No one should never be in the middle of people and picking sides! No one should ever have to be discriminated because of where they are from or their skin color and that's sad!! I feel like we need more people to be kind and we should treat others with kindness because there isn't a lot of people who don't treat others with kindness! Be kind to one another because you don't know what that person is going through! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "If you're not excited about it, it's not the right path". (Quotes 'nd Notes). I find this quote very relatable because if you are doing something and it doesn't give that excitement, stop doing it and do something that makes you completely happy! Find something that will make you happy and excited! I love y'all and I pray that everyone will have a good Monday or in other countries, a happy Tuesday! Please, stay safe and until next time, "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on my next blog where I will be doing a birthday tribute to my dad! Stay tuned! I love y'all! Peace! ✌💙💙
