This blog episode is dedicated to anyone who is trying to figure out who their "real" friends are!! This blog episode is for y'all! In this blog episode, I will be talking about if I could pick 3 lessons that taught me this year, what 3 lessons would those be? Why would those lessons would taught me? Out of those 3 lessons, which one taught me the most? Why did that lesson taught me the most? Now, without further ado, let's get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

If I could describe this year in a nutshell, how would I describe this year? Why would I describe this year that way? 

If I could describe this year in a nutshell, how would I describe this year? If I could describe this year in a nutshell, I would describe it as happiness but there has been some sadness as well but more happiness! When my fiancé proposed to me, it brought me so much happiness! I was totally unexpected and I was caught by surprised!! I would say yes to him all over again!! I always relive that moment in my head because of how special that day was!! It was a day that I would never forget!! Why would I describe this year that way? The reason why I would describe it that way is because this year was full of memories and I am so blessed to have a good year even though there was some sad moments!! 

3 lessons!!  

If I could pick 3 lessons that taught me this year, what 3 lessons would those be? If I had to pick the 1st lesson that taught me this year, it would have to be my true friends!! This year, I saw who were my true friends are and I feel appreciative when it came to those friends!! Those true friends showed me that they will do anything to be there for me, no matter what!! The 2nd lesson that I was taught this year was who is really there for me! I had people come and go in my life this year! I had people there for me one minute and the next minute, they will disappear from my life and it would hurt me for a little bit but that's okay!! The 3rd and final lesson that I was taught this year was who loves me! This year, it showed me the people who truly loved me and I am glad that it showed me! I saw people's true colors and nothing hurts more than seeing people's true colors!! When I saw people loved me and who truly didn't, it made me realize that those are the people that I want in my life and I pray that they will never leave me!! 

Why? 

Why would those lessons would taught me? The 1st lesson was true friends and the 1st reason why it taught me this year is because I had these so called "friends" check on me and then, I would never hear from them ever again! It broke me to the core! I would cry at times and wonder to myself if people do care about me!! I felt my spirt breaking ever minute of everyday!! The 2nd lesson was who is really there for me and 2nd reason why it taught me this year is because it showed me that who was supporting me and who wasn't there for me and nothing hurts me more when people don't be there for you! It showed me a lot this year especially through me and my fiancé's engagement!! People showed their true colors then!! The 3rd and final lesson that I was taught this year was who loves me and the reason why it taught me this year is because it showed me how much people who truly loved and cared about me and when I saw people's true colors this year and I saw people who truly loved me and who truly didn't loved me, nothing hurt me more than seeing the true colors of others and it struck my core so much!! I loved and cared for those people and those people could not do the same thing and it breaks me to pieces!! 

#1 lesson that taught me the most!! 

Out of those 3 lessons, which one taught me the most? If I could pick the number #1 lesson that taught me this year, I would have to say the 2nd lesson which is who is really there for me! When I felt down and depressed or who would ask me what is wrong, my fiancé would be there for me, no matter what! I had people check up on me and asked me if I was okay but my fiancé would stick by my side through my happy moments and sad moments! I had other people be there for me through my happy moments, but who was there for me through my sad moments? My fiancé was there for me when I was sad! Yes, the other two lessons taught me a lot as well but to me, lesson #2 stood out to me and nothing hurts me more is when people would be there for you one minute but the next minute, not be there for you at all and that's how I felt at that very moment of life!! Just saying!! 

Why?

Why did that lesson taught me the most? The reason why the 2nd lesson taught me the most is because it showed who was willing to be there for me when time gets tough! It showed me who was there for me through my tough moments! Me and my fiancé got engaged on May 4th of this year and already, people showed their true colors and honestly, that was a slap in the face! It just a reminder that people would be who they are and that's okay because when you were there for others, the true people would show up for you and I am glad I had people left me! I know that is hard for me to say but it is the honest truth!! 

In closing/ Wisdom for the day!!  

In closing, this year was the year that taught me a lot which is hard to say but it is the honest truth! I thought I would have people constantly be there for me and support me but nope! When people show their true colors, they show their true colors and that's what truly happened to me especially when me and fiancé got engaged! I had people tell us congratulations and everything but never hear from them ever again and that's hard for me! What is really hard for me when I realized who my true friends friends are or who is really there for me, or who loves me, especially who is really there for me! I would have days where  they are harder than others and I wish someone would be there for me but that's okay because I have made it without people and I am stronger without those people!! Here is my wisdom of the day: My wisdom of the day is People will come and go as they will please, but the true people will be there for you and support through everything! Don't lose those people because those people will be there for you through thick and thin! 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!! This year was a wakeup call for me and I'm glad it was a wakeup call for me because I saw how different people are and that's just sad to me! I will tell people how busy I am but what those people don't realize is I am trying to take time for myself! While I am working on a new blog episode or even posting a new quote or Bible verse, I take time for myself but in honest truth, I never take time to myself and that's hard because I am there for others but when I want time to myself, I always get disturbed and I feel like people don't understand that I get overstimulated and overwhelmed so easily!! I had people leave me or stop being there for me, that's hard for me! This year was a life lesson and I'm glad that people showed me their true colors!! For today's Bible Verse of the day, it is taken from 1 John 1:9 and it says "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us for our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness". Jesus died for our sins and if we go to God and ask him forgiveness, God will forgive us! God loves us unconditionally and if we do something, we need to go to God for forgiveness and repent!! I love y'all and so does Jesus and I pray y'all have a good day or had a good day!! Stay tuned for Friday's blog episode where I would talk about my top 3 memories from this year! Stay tuned and I love y'all from the bottom of my heart and always remember to "Dream big! Don't give up on your dreams" and Don't forget to love like Jesus, not just today but everyday! I love y'all and this Blogger Queen is out! I love y'all!🩷✨🩷✨🩷✨🩷✨🩷✨

Today's Bible Verse of the day from 1 John 1:9! Jesus died for our sins and if we go to God and confess what we did, he will forgive us and cleanse us from what we did! We need to repent!! 

"Friends are those 
rare people who ask 
how we are and then
wait to hear the 
answer". 
-Ed Cunningham. True friends will ask how you are doing and will stay by your side through it all! They have seen the good and ugly and I have people who have seen me cry and who have seen me happy!!

"Who is around you and who is truly 
there for you are two completely 
different things". 
-Unknown. People can be around you all day long but the ones who are truly there for you are the one who count because the people who are around you, they can be there every once in a blue moon but the ones who truly there for you, they count and you need those people in your life!! 

"Love is not 
because of 
who you are,
but because of
who I am
when I am
with you".
-Unknown. I love this so much because there are who love me for who I am, not because of who I am not! I am can be truly who I am without changing who I am because once you get to know me more, you would think I am so funny or you can't shut me up!! I am who I am and that's it!! 

I love y'all and please, stay warm and don't forget to love like Jesus, not just today but everyday!! Don't forget to stay hydrated as well! I love y'all and see y'all on Friday!! ❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻
