Intro to my blog/ recap of my blogs/ This week's blog episodes!!
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 talk about anything that comes to mind whether it is my poems or even something that is personal! How are y'all doing today? I hope and pray that everyone is doing okay and well! Whatever the circumstances might be or whatever y'all are dealing with, just know that God can handle those problems and he will fight for you! Happy Monday or in other countries, Happy Tuesday! Who is ready for an all new blog episode for the day? I know that I am but 1st, blog recap from last week's blog episodes! Last week on my 1st blog page, on Monday- I talked about what does blinded by hate mean? In my own, blinded by hate means someone starting hate for no reason! They will start to tarnish your reputation and that will hurt a lot!! On Wednesday, I analyzed my poem "Don't say that you love me". When I think about someone not loving me, I think about someone who doesn't want to take the time to care about me and understand me and that's hurtful! It shows me that someone doesn't want to take the time to learn me and understand me and care about me and it hurts! On Friday, I analyzed my poem "Loving someone". When I think about about loving someone, I think what comes to mind is showing how much you love that person and how much affection you can show a person!! You show someone how much you love them and how much affection you can show them, it means a lot to them! Want to know more about this week's blog episodes? Link right here: →1st blog page! ←Link right here! I love y'all and enjoy! For this week's blog episodes. I will be talking about advice to my old self and my two poems "When you feel low" and "When things get busy". Stay tuned for this week's blog episodes and with that being said, let's get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!

For today's blog episode, I will be talking about Advice to my old self!! This blog episode is dedicated to anyone who wants to improve as a person and move on from the old person, this blog episode is for y'all! In this blog episode, I will be talking about if I could give 3 different advice to my old self, what 3 advice would I give my old self? Why would I give that advice to my old self? If I could say something to my old self, what would I say? Why would I say that thing to my old self? If I saw my old self, what would I do? Why would I do that thing? Why did I choose this blog episode to talk about? The reason why I choose to talk about today's blog episode is because I know that my old self would be so proud where I am at today! I feel like I have grown a lot and I am proud of myself where I am at today! What is this week's song of the week? For the song of the week, I chose "Demons" by: Josiah Queen. Every time I listen to this song, I think about the demons that I face everyday and that in my head, God is there for me fighting the demons off of me!! Why did I chose this song for the week? The reason why I chose this song for the week because we need to chase those demons off and scare them off because they are afraid of Jesus!!
What was my old self like? Why was my old self like that?
What was my old self like? If I could describe my old self, I would describe myself as not brave or I was scared to take chances, I was afraid to be who I am, and I was scared of people leaving me if I wasn't there for them! Why was my old self like that? The 1st reason why my old self was scared to take chances is because I thought I wouldn't do a good job or I would fail as a person! The 2nd reason why my old self was scared to be who I am because I thought people wouldn't like me for who I am and I had to pretend to be who I was and that was hard!! The 3rd and final reason why my old self was scared of people leaving me if I wasn't there for them is because if I wasn't there for them, I feel like I would be left and it would broke me a lot!!
3 different advice to my old self!
If I could give 3 different advice to my old self, what 3 advice would I give my old self? If I could give my old self different advice, the 1st advice I would give myself is God will never leave you! Ever since I have been saved, I realized that God will never leave me! God has been my side since I could remember and I am forever blessed! The 2nd advice that I would give my old self is people will leave you!! People have left me left and right and that's been hard!! Ever since I have been saved, people have left me and that's been hard!! The 3rd and final advice that I would give my old self, it would have to be stay true to who you are! Throughout my life, I had struggled with staying true to who I am! Now, I am not afraid to be who I am! God made me the way I am and if people don't like it, that's on them, not on me!! I love who I am!
Why?
Why would I give that advice to my old self? The 1st advice that I would give my old self is God will never leave you and the 1st reason why I would give that advice to my old self is because ever since I have been saved, God has been there for me every step of the way! God has been there for me more than people have been there for me and that's my reality but I'm fine with that!! I know that God will never me because he will stay by my side through everything!! The 2nd advice that I would give my old is is people will leave you and the 2nd reason why I would give that advice to my old self is because once I got saved, I had people leave me and that was difficult for me! People couldn't accept the new me and that I have changed my life for the better and so, I have come to terms with people leaving me! I don't care if people leave me anymore! The 3rd and final advice that I would give my old self is stay true to who you are and the 3rd and final reason why I would give that advice to my old self is because throughout my life, I had trouble staying true to who I am but now, I am proud to be who I am because I am not afraid to be who I am! God made me the way I am and if people can't accept me for who I am, I am okay with that! I am going to be who I am, no matter what!!
Say something to my old myself?
If I could say something to my old myself, what would I say? If I could say something to my old myself, I would say "your life is going to be changed around! You are going to be a marry woman and you and your husband are going to do things that would be serving the Lord". When I think that, I think about how my old self would be so proud the person that I am! I know that my old self is beaming and I know that she is happy!! The person that I am today, I am happy with! I love who I am and I am proud of who I am today!!
Why?
Why would I say that things to my old self? The reason why I would say that to my old self is because I did change my life around! In 2023, I gave my soul to Christ and in 2025, I got engaged to the love of my life and now, we are planning the wedding and I couldn't be any more happier! I don't miss old self! I love the person who I am today because I am proud of who I am today! I don't miss the old self who was depressed all the time! I might get depressed here and there, but I remember that I have God with me and that is the most amazing thing in the world!! The old me didn't have God by her side but this new me does and whatever negative thought goes through my head, I rebuke it in the name of Jesus!! I love who I am today and I am proud of the woman that I am today!!
Saw my old self?
If I saw my old self, what would I do? If I saw my old self, I would give her a hug and tell her that everything will be okay and that God will never leave her! I had struggle with watching people leave me and to this day, I am still struggling watching people leave me but I have come to the realization that the only person who will always be there for me is God! People will leave you but God will stay by my side and he has and I am forever grateful for God!! I know that my old self would be so proud!!
Why?
Why would I do that thing? The reason why I would go give my old self a hug and tell her that everything will be okay and that God will never leave her is because throughout my life, I watched people come into my life, but never stayed! When people were struggling, I was there to help people when they needed help but when I needed help, I felt helpless because I had no one! When I was sad, I had to be sad by my self because I had no one who wouldn't listen to me but now, I have God that would wipe my tears away and be there for me, no matter what and I am forever grateful for what God has done for me! God has done a lot for me so much and I am forever blessed! I have grown a lot and I can't wait to see what God will have in store for me!!
In closing/ Tip of the day!
In closing, I know my old self would be so happy and proud of the new me!! Throughout my life, I have fallen and fallen again but no matter what, I got myself back up and to see where I am at today, I am extremely proud of where I am at today! I wish I could tell myself "you did it! You got through it! You found your man, you changed your life, and now, you and your significant other will be serving the Lord together". I am so blessed to be where I am today and see the tribulations and trials that I have been through! I am proud of where I am today! For today's tip of the day, it is Be proud of where you at because in the long run, it is going to pay off! You might have fallen, but you always got up and once you got up, keep going! I love y'all!
Well, 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 the day! The moral of this blog episode is be proud of where you are at today because the old self would be proud of you! To see where I am at today, I am proud of myself! Once I got saved, people stopped talking to me and left me! Don't get me wrong, it broke me but I came to the realization that I never needed those people!! Once those people show me who they really are, I realized that I never needed those people anymore!! I am proud of where I am at today!! For today's quote of the day, it is by Jeongin and it says "Don't force yourself to be okay. Just feel what you feel". -Jeongin. Don't force yourself to be okay! If you are feeling some type of way about something, you are allowed to feel that way! Don't bottle up everything! I love y'all and so does Jesus and I pray that today can be a good day or I pray that everyone had a wonderful day today! Stay tuned for an all new blog episode coming on Wednesday where I am analyzing my poem "When you feel low". Stay tuned for that and this Blogger Queen is out! Peace!

Today's quote of the day by Jeongin!! Don't force yourself that you are okay!! You have every right to feel how you want to feel! Don't keep everything bottled up!  but God will never leave you". -Unknown. While others leave you in the dark, God is there leading and directing you on the right path! Let God lead you on the right path!!  leave. Even if they have promised a thousand times that they won't". -Unknown. I had people "promised" me that they will never leave me but they never kept their word and that is hard for me! Don't trust people!!  yourself because there are very few people who will always be true to you". -Unknown. If people are true to you, be true to yourself because people are going to accept you for you! Don't pretend to be someone else! To end today's blog episode, here is this week's song of the week which is "Demons" by Josiah Queen. When I listen to this song, I think about how my demons are afraid of Jesus and they would want to run away!! |
