On Wednesday, I talked about what has been my top 3 favorite moments from this year so far? So far, there has been so many good memories but the one that takes the icing on the cake is meeting my boyfriend for the 1st time! Meeting him was a special time because when we have been in a long distance relationship, it is hard to find time to meet and stuff like that, but we made the time and I am so glad that we did! If y'all haven't read this blog episode and would love to check it out, please go check it out whenever y'all can! Please! Thank you so much!! For today's blog episode, I will be talking about what would I tell my younger self from when I was little? In this blog, I will be talking about if I had to tell my little self when I was younger, what 3 things would I say? Why would I say those things to my younger self? What advice would I tell my younger self? Why would I give my younger self that advice? Now, without any further distraction, let's get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

What was my fondest memory growing up? Why was that my fondest memory growing up? 

 

What was my fondest memory growing up? I had a lot of memories growing up, but if I had to pick my fondest memory growing up, it would have to be when after the softball game was over, I would run around the softball fields! When I little, I would run around the softball fields and I would have a fun time! I wore my own little jersey, shorts, and cleats! I was probably 3 or 4 at the time but I would always remember that memory!! That was a good memory! Why was that my fondest memory growing up? The reason why that was my fondest memory growing up because I remember going to the softball fields and I wasn't really playing but I was in the dugouts a lot with my dad and his team and that was a good time! I enjoy running around the softball fields and having a grand time!! 

3 things that I would tell my little self! 

If I had to tell my little self when I was younger, what 3 things would I say? If I could say 3 things to my younger self, the 1st thing that I would say to my baby self is "You are going to become an amazing young lady who inspires the whole world. Everyone that you come in contact with is going to love you! Don't let those people stop loving you! You are also going to have a good man who loves you for who you are".  The 2nd thing that I would say to my 3 or 4 year old self is "Your dad is never going to leave you! Your dad is going to stay by your side as long as he can! He will always care about you and he will always love you, no matter what"! The last thing I would say to my 5 or 6 year old self would be "You are going to have people who are going to leave you and that's okay because you are going to have people who are willing to stay and be there for you, no matter what! You are going to have people who might leave you, but you are strong and you will get through it"! I know my younger self would be so proud! I am a strong woman who has a loving man who cares about me so much! I know that my baby self would be so proud! 

Why? 

Why would I say those things to my younger self? The 1st reason why I would say those things to my baby self because the people that I come in contact with, love me to death and I had people tell me that I am inspiring which makes me feel good! I know that I have a good man who is very supportive, loving, and would do anything to protect me from all cost which feels good to know that I have a man that would protect me! The 2nd reason why I would say those things to my 3 or 4 year old self because my dad has been by my side since I could remember! My dad has been my best friend and the person who I can go to when I need someone to talk to! My dad has been a good parent to me and I am so blessed to have a good dad in my life! The 3rd and final reason why I would say those things to my 5 or 6 year old self is because in the last year or so, I had people abandoned me and it doesn't feel good at all! I had people say to me "I'm always here for you, no matter what" but they are never there for me through my hardest times or my good times! I had to come to terms that people are going to leave me and abandoned me and I am okay with that but that's okay because I will get through it, no matter what!! 

My advice to my younger self! 

What advice would I tell my younger self? The 1st advice that I would tell my baby self is "Don't let anyone tear you down because you are going to do amazing things! You are going to have people who are going to be proud of you! Keep making yourself proud and the people around you proud". The 2nd advice that I would tell my 3 or 4 year old is "Just keep being you! People love when you are yourself! Just be proud of who you are"! The 3rd and final advice that I would tell my 5 or 6 year old self is "Stick around the people who care about you the most because those people matter to you! Keep those people who will always love you, no matter what"! For me giving out these advice's, I know that the baby me, 3 or 4 year old me, and 5 or 6 year old me would be so proud for how far I have come in my life! I am proud of myself for doing things that make me happy and I am proud of myself for how far I have made it in life! For me, I feel like I have come such a long way in life and I can't wait to see what the future holds in my life! 

Why? 

Why would I give my younger self that advice? The 1st reason why I would give that advice to my baby self is because I would let anyone or anything tear me down because I am a strong person and I am working book which is amazing in my eyes! I know that I have people who are extremely proud of me! I know that they might not say it everyday but I know that they are proud of me and I am of proud of me! The 2nd reason why I would give that advice to my 3 or 4 year old self because I love being who I am! I wouldn't change myself for what I am today! I might be different from other women but I am okay with that because I am okay with the person who I am today! I am okay with being different from other women because I am who I am and God made me the person that I am today! I am okay with the person who I am! The 3rd and final reason why I would give that advice to 5 or 6 year old self is because I had people who left me and I have people who haven't left my side and I am going to stick around those people who haven't left me because those people matter to me and they mean a lot to me! I'm blessed to come in contact with people who haven't left my side and who love me for who I am! I feel like I have grown a lot and I am proud of myself!

In closing/ Tip of the day/ Question of the day?

In closing, the moral of this blog episode is telling my Blogger Dreamers that it is okay to be yourself or it is okay to have a few people who are close to! I know that my 3 or 4 year old self would of been okay with just being herself!I am okay with having not a lot of people being close to me! I am okay with being different others who I come in contact with! I am okay with being different from other people because that is how God made me! I wish my 5 or 6 year old self or my baby self could see the way I am today! I know she would be so proud of me and I know that she would be smiling from ear to ear! I am okay with having a few close people in my life and I am okay with being who I am! I'm okay with just being myself! I am proud of the woman that I am today! Here is my tip and question of the day?! My tip of the day is just be yourself! Don't be afraid to be the person who you meant to be! You are the person that God made you the way you are suppose to be! You are amazing! For today's question of the day, if you could tell your baby self, 3 or 4 self, and 5 or 6 year old self, what would you say? Why would you say those things? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know what y'all would say! I would love to read everyone's comments! Please! Thank you all so much! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here to remind everyone that y'all just reached the end of today's blog episode for today! I hope and pray that everyone enjoyed today's blog episode! For me, this blog holds a special place in my heart because I feel like I have grown as a young lady and I am proud where I am at with my life today! I feel like I have grown a lot and I am extremely proud of myself! Working on a book is not easy but I am proud of myself! Doing blogging isn't easy either but I am proud of myself! I am who I am and I am proud of myself! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "Strong People Rarely Have An Easy Past". -Toby Mac. I love this quote a lot because when you have to remain strong at all times, a lot of people don't know about your past and sometimes, your past can remain in your mind! Sometimes, your past can remind you how strong you need to be at times! Stay strong and don't give up! I love y'all and pray that everyone will or had a good day! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday and always remember: "dream big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on my 1st blog page where I will be talking about my poem "growing up", 3 things that make strong, and another of my poem "Standing tall", so stay tuned for that! I love y'all! This Blogger Queen is out! Peace! ☮✌💛

Today's quote of the day! I love this quote of the day is because sometimes, we have to remain strong because our past made us strong! We need to not give up and keep pushing forward!! 

This is a picture of me when I was a baby!! If I could I tell my baby self, I would tell her "You are going to become this amazing young lady who is going to inspire others around her. You are going to have a man who is going to love you just the way you are". I know baby me would be so proud! 

This is 3 or 4 year old me and I would tell her "Your dad is always going to stick your side, no matter what! He will never leave you". I love this picture of me and my dad! Such a good picture! 

This is 5 or 6 year old me! I would tell her "You are going to have people who are going to leave and that's okay because you are going to have people are going to stick around longer. Have people who will stick around". Love this picture of me! 

To end today's blog episode, here is this week's song of the week! For this week's song of the week, I chose "Blue" by V from BTS! We should never have to feel blue because something is going wrong in our life! Always try to be happy, no matter what!
