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 the day where I would talk about anything from my poems to anything that comes to mind!! How are y'all doing today? Are y'all doing okay today? I hope and pray that everyone is doing okay and well! Whatever y'all are going through, just know that I'm always here for y'all, no matter what!! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday!! Who is ready for an all new blog episode for today? I know that I am but 1st, a blog recap! On Wednesday, I talked about my poem "God vs the world". When I think about God vs the world, I think what comes to mind is how people want to walk away from God and not read the word of God! When you step away from God, you are stepping away from having faith in him and you are following the world! When you are following the world, you are wanting the earthly possessions and that's not what life is all about! Please, forget the earthly possessions and follow God!

For today's blog episode, I will be analyzing my poem "Staying alive". This blog episode is dedicated to anyone who is struggling to stay alive!! This blog episode is for y'all! I love y'all! In this blog episode, I will talking about when I think about staying alive, what comes to mind? Why does it come to mind like that? What does hanging by a thread means? Why does hanging by a thread means that? Now, without any further disruptions or distractions, let's get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about my poem!! What is the meaning behind this poem? Why is there meaning behind this poem? 

On Saturday, August 9th of this year, I typed up a new poem called "Staying alive" and this is how it goes "Staying alive" by: Brandee Marie Darden!! 
"Staying alive means hanging on by a thread and living day 
to day! Staying alive means trying to get by! Staying alive
means trying to make it with the people by your side! Just 
because life is hard, that doesn't mean you can't stay alive! 
You have to keep pushing forward and not give up! Keep 
pushing forward". 
Love, Brandee Marie Darden! 
Typed on Saturday, 8/9/25!! What is the meaning behind the poem? The meaning behind this poem is everyday, we try to get by without giving up so quickly!! Everyday might be a difficult challenge, but we try to make it everyday! Some days might be harder than others but for me, I don't give up easily!! I have people who are rooting me and that makes it hard to not give up so easily!! Why is there meaning behind this poem? The reason why there is meaning behind this poem is because everyday is new challenge and sometimes, we struggle to get by everyday because we don't know what tomorrow will bring but God knows and we need to give everything to him and trusting him!! 

Staying alive! 

When I think about staying alive, what comes to mind? When I think about staying alive, I think what comes to mind is staying alive for the people who love and care about me!! I think about fighting through whatever I am facing! In my head, I know that I have a lot to live for and I know if I give up know, I am giving up on the people who love and care about me and I am not going to do that! Yes, staying alive is a battle but I need to keep fighting that battle! I have people who love me and care about me! I have an almighty God who will guide me and lead me on the right path!! I don't need to give up!! 

Why? 

Why does it come to mind like that? The reason it came to mind like that is because there has been times where I wanted to give up on life because in my head, I feel like I had nothing to live for! I feel like if I give up now, people are not going to care about me and they are going to stop being there for me and today, I have a few people who do care about me and love me! I have an amazing fiancé who pushes me to do better and I have an amazing God who leads me and guides me!! I might have people who left me high and dry, but does that stop me from chasing my dreams? NO because it makes me a stronger person and I don't need a lot of people to support me! If you want to support me, that's fine!! I am going to do me and that's it!! I have a lot to live for and I am okay with that! I am not going to give up because someone left me! That makes me a stronger person!! 

Hanging by a thread means?  

What does hanging by a thread means? Hanging by a thread means one minute everything is fine and dandy and then, next thing you know, you are on the edge to giving up but your trying to hang in there but you don't know how much longer you can hang in there! I know a lot of people who are like that and I am one of those people! I will have days where I am totally fine but then, I have days where I am not fine and I am just hanging by a thread and it hurts me! I don't like when I have days like that!! It is hard for my fiancé to watch me go from okay to not okay!! It hurts him to see me struggle with my mental health and there are times where I wish he could comfort me!! It is hard to be in a different state as him! I never know when my mental health is going to attack me and to me, that is hard to think about!! For me, I can be fine and then, the next minute, I can feel depressed and it is hard on me!! 

Why? 

Why does hanging by a thread means that? The reason why in my opinion hanging by a thread means that is because one minute, you are fine and your mental can fine and then, all of the sudden, you are on the brink of giving up and you are trying not to quit!! When you are hanging by a thread, you don't want to give up because God wants you to keep going and don't stop but it is so hard not to give up that you are trying to hang on for dear life and you are trying to be there for the people that you love and you are pushing through! There are times where you need to have time to yourself and focus on you for a little while! Are people going to make a fuss? Yes but they will have to deal with it because you need to learn how to make yourself happy and focus on your mental health!! Your mental health is more important than anything!! 

In closing/ My advice for the day!! 

In closing, I know staying alive can be a little hard at times because you don't know who is there for you and who isn't there for you! When you are trying to stay alive, you are trying to keep yourself afloat and that can be a difficult challenge at times because you wonder if you are doing a good job or not!! In my eyes, you are doing an amazing job and I am so proud of you!! Keep doing what you love doing!! You might be struggling, but just know that you are doing phenomenal and you should be proud of yourself!! Here is my advice for the day: My advice for the day is No matter what you are going through in life, keep fighting because God has you here for a reason! God has a reason for your life and he wants you to know that you are loved and God wants you to keep going!! I love y'all!! 

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 the day!! I don't know who needs to hear this but I am so proud of y'all! I am so proud of y'all because y'all kept going and y'all never gave up trying! I know that staying alive has its challenges, believe me, I know but you are doing an amazing job and you should be proud of yourself!! I know that I am proud of you!! You are doing an amazing job! I see you hanging by a thread and you want to quit but you can't! If you have no one who isn't rooting for you, I am rooting for you!! Staying alive is hard but you are going to get through it! You are strong and you got this!! For today's Bible Verse of the day, it is taken from Hebrews 13:16 and it says "But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God  is well pleased". When you sacrifice something, God is well pleased with the sacrifice that you made whether it is giving up something that you love to talk to him! God wants more of your time and sometimes, we need to sacrifice our time just to talk to him!! Sacrifice your time to talk to God!! I love y'all and so does Jesus! Let's show how amazing God's love is and how cool Jesus is today! Always remember to "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and let's love like Jesus today! Also, stay tuned for new blogs coming next for my makeup and fashion blog page because I will be talking about outfits for fall, makeup looks for fall, and what do I love putting outfits together? Stay tuned for that and I will see y'all next week!! I love y'all and see ya!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Today's Bible verse of the day!! There are times where we need to sacrifice a lot whether it is giving up on people who are hurting us or giving up on people who are toxic and when you give up those those things, God is well pleased and he wants more of your time than less of your time!! 


My poem that I did about "Staying alive". There are days where I am doing good and there are days where I am trying not to give up because my mental health is getting the best of me! God has been by my side and I give him all the praises for that!! 


"Please, don't give up now. Stay alive. 
You'll see why you're meant to be alive". 
-Unknown. Don't give up because things are hard!! You were meant to be alive and God wants you to keep pushing through!! 


"Do not 
be ashamed 
of the wars 
your soul 
has fought 
to save 
itself". 
-isra al-thibeh. You don't have to be ashamed of the wars that you have fought!! When you are going through battles, you shouldn't have to be ashamed!!! You are going to make it to the top and once you do, you can say "I made it" because you did!! 


To end today's blog episode, here is this week's song of the week by Micah Tyler which is "Walking Free"!! I am walking free because I know that Jesus died for my sins!! There are things that I gave up and I am happy with my life!! I love y'all and have a good day or had a good day, my Blogger Dreamers!!
