Talking about my poem! What is this poem about? Why did I write this poem about? 

On November 2nd of this year, I wrote a poem called "Life without you" and here is how it goes: "Life without you" by: Brandee Marie Darden! 

Life without 

you would be 

dark and dull!

Life without 

your smile 

would be

dark, just like 

sun without 

light! Life 

without you

would be

boring! If I 

can't have 

you in my 

life, then 

it would be

sad! Life without 

you would be 

hard"! 

Love, Brandee 

Marie Darden.

Written on Thursday, November 2nd, 2023!! What is this poem all about? This poem is all about not having a certain person who makes you happy or who has been there for you would be difficult! Life without that special person would be hard! Don't lose that person! When you a meet someone who is special to you, you don't want to lose that person! You can't imagine your life without them in it!! Why did I write poem about? The reason why I wrote my poem about a certain person who makes you happy or who has been there for you would be difficult is because when you meet a certain someone or you have special people in your life, it is hard to let them go and you never want to let that person go and so, for you, never let a person go who means a lot to you!! 

When I think about the title of my poem ....

When I think about the title of my poem, who did I write this poem all about? When I think about the title of my poem, there is a lot of people who I write this poem all about! I think about my boyfriend, the people at my church, and even some of my friends! My life without my boyfriend or the people at my church, and even some of my friends, I can't imagine my life without them in it! It would be too hard and too difficult! They all make me so happy and they are there for me when I need them the most! I am so blessed to have people who are amazing and wonderful! God truly blessed me in a way! 

Why? 

Why did I write this poem about that person or people? The reason why I wrote this poem about that person or people because without my boyfriend or my church family or even my friends, I don't know where I would be without them! They make me truly happy! It's like sun without light! When I met some of my friends, my church family, and my boyfriend, my world was so dark and if I didn't have these people, I think my world of been so dark still!! God blessed me in so many ways!! I feel blessed!! 

When I say, "Life without you would be dark and dull".... 

When I say, "Life without you would be dark and dull", who am I talking about right there? When I say "Life without you would be dark and dull", I am talking about so many people right there!! I think person that is coming through my mind is my boyfriend! Everyday, he makes laugh and smile!! Without my boyfriend, I don't know if I would be so happy and smiley! My church family and certain friends make me happy as well! There is a lot of people who makes me smile and my life would be dark and dull without them!!! I love the people who are apart of my life and I am so blessed to have amazing people who are amazing to me and always there for me, no matter what!! 

Why? 

Why am I talking about that person or people? The reason why I am talking about my boyfriend, my church family more people is because when you have people in your life and without them, your life would be dark and dull! That is how I feel with certain people in my life!! Having people who mean a lot to you and having them supporting you through thick and thin and thinking about that makes me happy to think that I have the right people in my life and I deserve those people in my life!!! Always find the right people in your life who is going to be there and support you, no matter what!! Those people matter, no matter what!!! 

My advice!! 

If I have any advice about finding people who care about you, what is my advice? If I have any advice for my Blogger Dreamers who are trying to find people who care about you, my advice is when you find those people who care about you, keep those people because once you find those people, it is hard to find people who care about you! For me, I know a lot of people and I know who cares about me and who doesn't care about me! Finding the right people who care about and who will check on you is a blessing in disguise! When you find out that person doesn't care about you, they are showing you their true colors and you don't need that type of a person in your life! Find people who do care about you and who do love you for you because people will love you for who you are and that matters!! 

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 when you find people who do care about you and support you, keep those people in your life because once you find those people, they are very important and they are worth keeping for a long time because they are showing you how much they care about you and they are showing you that they love you a lot! It's hard to find people who can be caring and supportive but once you find those people, keep them because they are worth keeping and they will always be worth keeping, no matter what!! I love the people who are in my life!!! They are amazing and I love each person so much!!! 

In closing/ Tip of the day!! 

In closing, the moral of my poem is find people who care about you and who love you for who you are which is hard to find!! I have a friend and he would always made sure that I was happy and made sure that I was laughing! He is going to be missed very much! In life, we will find people who will make our life as bright as the sun and I am so blessed to find people who are my light on a dark day! I feel happy around those people and I am so happy to have those people in my life! Here is my tip of the day: My tip of the day is find people who will care about you and support you, no matter what!! Having people who absolutely care about you and love you for who you are is the most important thing in the world! Keep those people in your life!! They are very important people to have around!! I love y'all!! 

Hello, my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here to remind everyone that y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode for today! Having people who care about you and love you for who you are is the most important thing ever because if that person don't love you for who you are, how they are going to love you at your lowest and your highest? You can't have people who will love you at your lowest but not love you at your highest! It doesn't make sense to me!! Keep people who will care about you! Those people care!! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: In Life, We Never Lose Friends, We Only Learn Who The True Ones Are". -Unknown. I find this quote very relatable because people are going to be there for you when it is convenient but people are going to be there through thick and thin and those are the true friends that you absolutely need! I love y'all so much and I hope everyone will have a good Friday or in other countries, a good Saturday! Stay warm our there and always remember "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all next week where I will be talking about analyzing the song "Standing next to you" by Jungkook, blog by: Brandee Marie Darden, my top 3 favorite blogs from this year, and my poem "Don't come back". Stay tuned for those and I will see y'all soon! Peace!! ☮✌💜

Today's quote of the day! I love this quote so much and the real ones will stay by your side, no matter what! Don't depend on the fake friends!! 

My poem that I wrote on Thursday, 11/2/23. This poem holds a lot of meaning to it and I am so blessed to have people who truly care about me! I am so blessed!! 

"There is a big difference between 
not being able to live without 
someone and loving them".
-Anna Todd. I love this quote a lot because it is hard to live without a person when you love them so much!! 

"It's Amazing How
One Day Someone Walks 
Into Your Life And You
Can't Remember 
How You Ever Lived 
Without Them".
-Unknown. I love this quote so much because people can walk into your life and you don't know if you can't imagine your life without that person again!! 

To end today's blog episode, here is this week's song of the week! I chose the song " Please, Don't Change" by Jungkook Featuring DJ Snake. When I listen to this song, I think about not changing for someone else because if someone doesn't like me for who I am, then oh well! Don't make someone change if you can't like them for who they are!! 

                                            Blog topic: My top 3 favorite moments from this year! By: Brandee Marie Darden! Date of blog: Wednesday, 12/13/23!!

If not, that's okay because I am here for my Blogger Dreamers and will always be here for my Blogger Dreamers, no matter what!!  Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday!! Before I get into my blog today, here is a recap of Monday's blog! On Monday, I analyzed the song "Please, Don't Change" by Jungkook featuring DJ Snake, blog by: Brandee Marie Darden! When I listen to this song, I think about the times where people would tell celebrities you should change and that would make me angry because if you don't like this person they are, then don't be around them! We should never have to change for someone if they never liked us in the beginning! If y'all haven't read this blog but would love to check it out, the blog is called "Analyzing the song "Please, Don't Change" by Jungkook, featuring DJ Snake, blog by: Brandee Marie Darden!! Please, go check it out whenever y'all can! Please! Thank you so much! I love y'all! For today's blog episode, I will be talking about my top 3 favorite moments from this year! In this blog episode for today, I will be talking about if I had to pick my top 3 favorite moments from this year, what would those moments be? Why would I pick those moments as my favorite? If I had to pick my number one favorite moment from this year, what moment would that be? Why would I pick that moment as my favorite moment from this year? What is the significance behind that moment? Why is there significance behind specific memory? Now, let's get our blogging brain on and let's get started with an all new blog episode for today! Shall we? We shall!! 

Talking about my least favorite moments from this year! Why would I pick those moments as my least favorite this year? 

If I had to my least favorite moments from this year, what would those moments be? The 1st moment that I didn't like from this year was where I cried a lot! Yes!!! I did cry a lot this year and I wish I didn't but I did!! The 2nd least moment that I didn't like was when I had to block people because of certain reasons!! I don't like blocking people but this year, I had to do it because of my mental health reasons and to me, I had to do what I had to do for me!! The 3rd and final moment that I would pick as my least favorite moment from this year is when a certain person didn't show up to my baptism!! To me, that day was so important but when I didn't see a certain person that, I was hurt but I had to move on and continue to move forward on my day! I was happy to see the people who did come!! Why would I pick those moments as my least favorite this year? The reason why I picked all these moments as my least favorite this year is because they all hurt me this year! Having to cry a lot this year was hard, blocking people was hard, and not seeing that certain person at my baptism was hard but those things made me stronger and I am so blessed that those things made me stronger!!! 

My top 3 favorite moments!! 

If I had to pick my top 3 favorite moments from this year, what would those moments be? The 1st moment that I would pick as my favorite is when I professed my faith in believing in God and knowing that Jesus died on the cross for my sins! When I professed my faith, I felt the weight off my shoulders and I couldn't be anymore happier! I felt good and it was a sign of relief for me!! My 2nd favorite moment is celebrating me and my boyfriend's 1 year anniversary! To think that me and my boyfriend celebrated 1 year together is unbelievable! We have been through so much together already and to think we already have been together for 1 year is amazing!! He has been the best thing that is ever happened to me and he makes me truly happy!! My 3rd and final favorite moment from this year would have to be during the summer, I got to go to Gospel Singers Of America or GSA! Over the summer, I had the privilege to go and learn how to read music and learn how to play the piano and I had an amazing time! Learning a lot was great and I am praying that I get to go next year!! I had a good experience!! 

Why?

Why would I pick those moments as my favorite? The 1st reason why I would pick the 1st moment as my favorite is because I have felt so lost for so long! During the song service, God was telling me something and on the night of March 15th of this year, I professed my faith and when I did that, every weight was coming off my shoulders one by one and I couldn't be anymore happier! When that was finally coming off, I felt like I could breathe again all because of God! The 2nd reason why I would pick the 2nd moment as my favorite is because me and my boyfriend have been through so much! He has seen me cry! He has seen me happy! He has seen me with every emotion that you can think of and knowing that I can have someone who is there for me when I need someone the most is the best feeling in the world! God knew that I need someone and he did send my boyfriend to me and man, I am blessed! The 3rd and final reason why I would pick the 3rd moment as my favorite is because I learned a lot while I was there and learning how to play the piano was a good experience! I got out of my shell and I couldn't be any more proud of myself!! I have grown up a lot this year and I am looking forward to seeing what 2024 has in store for me, my boyfriend, and my Blogger Dreamers! 

My number one favorite moment from this year! 

If I had to pick my number one favorite moment from this year, what moment would that be? If I had to pick the number one favorite moment from this year out of the moments that I mentioned, the moment that I would pick as my favorite is the moment that I professed my faith! Don't get me wrong, I loved celebrating me and my boyfriend's 1 year anniversary and I loved going to GSA but when I professed my faith in knowing that God led me to Jesus being my savior, I feel more happier than I already am! God led me to Jesus and I am so happy that he did! That moment will live on in my head forever and I will pray for the people who don't know God or who don't know Jesus!! God is an amazing God who will lead you to the right path and he surly did lead me on the right path!!! 

Why? 

Why would I pick that moment as my favorite from this year? The reason why I picked the moment where I professed my faith as my favorite moment from this year is because when God burdened my heart for so long and when people put their problems on me, it hurt my heart a lot and finally, I just surrendered all of my problems and gave it to God! I have never felt better that night when I surrendered everything to God and I am so blessed that I did that! When I read the bible, I feel better! When I am in my prayer room, I feel happy because that is a place where I don't mind sitting at for a long time! I created a place for me to feel safe when I pray and when I can talk to God and I'm glad that I did!! 

The significance! 

What is the significance behind that moment? The significance behind that moment is when I professed my faith, I knew for a long time I was lost! I had people putting their problems on me and not having someone that was my parent there for me was extremely hard but when God led me to him and to Jesus, I felt comforted and I knew that I felt safe! To think about how far I have come within my journey, I never felt so happy and felt so much better in my life knowing that God is my Savior and that he sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins! God blessed me in so many ways and I am so happy that he did! I'm happy about how my life is going right now! I can't wait to see what God has in store for me in 2024!! 

Why? 

Why is there significance behind that specific memory? The reason why there is significance behind that specific memory is because I knew in my heart that I was lost! I knew I needed to be found and I turned to God and I am glad that God saved me and that he sent his only begotten Son to die on the cross! When I am reading my bible, I feel happy because I love learning about the bible! I love talking to God because I know within deep in my soul he will answer prayers! God is a good God and we need to believe in him! I will never forget my profession of faith and I will always have faith, no matter what! God is leading me on the right path and I am looking forward to seeing where it will lead me! 

In closing/ Question of the day? 

In closing, this year was fill of emotions!! To see where I am at today is unbelievable! I feel like I have grown as a person and I feel like I have come out of my shell a lot! Professing my faith and knowing that I can talk to God about my problems is an amazing feeling to feel! Knowing that I have a boyfriend of year that I can talk to him about anything and knowing that he won't judge me is an amazing feeling! Knowing that God gave me an opportunity to learn how to read music and learn how to play the piano is a great feeling! I am so blessed to see how my life has changed drastically! I wouldn't have it in another way! For today's question of the day, it goes something like this: My question of the day is What is y'all's top 3 favorite moments from this year?

Knowing that I can talk about these moments is the best feeling in the world! 2023 had good times and bad times but I will never forget my moments that I picked! Those are moments that will stay in my head forever!! Now, it is time for quote of the day! For today's quote of the day, it goes a little something like this: "A heart that always understands also gets tired". -Unknown. I absolutely can relate to this quote a lot because I can understand a lot of people but when someone hurts me, it breaks me and I can understand a lot but once you hurt, I am tired and I don't want to be messed with! I love y'all from the bottom of my heart and I hope and pray that everyone will have a great Wednesday, or in other countries, a great Thursday! Until next time, "Dream Big!

                                            Blog: Analyzing the song "Please, Don't Change" by Jungkook featuring DJ Snake, blog by: Brandee Marie Darden! Monday, 12/11/23!! 

Intro to my blog!! 

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!! First and further more, Happy Monday or in other countries, Happy Tuesday! How are y'all doing today? I hope y'all are doing okay and well! Whatever it is going on in your life whether it is personal or whatever it is going on deep down in your heart, just know that you are loved and I care about y'all so much!! Y'all are loved here at the Blogger Dreamers!! Before I jump into this week's blogs, here is a recap of last week's blogs!! On my makeup and fashion blog page, I talked about my favorite clothing by Jin on Monday! Jin's birthday was on Monday and I wanted to do a blog for Jin and when I think about Jin's sense of fashion, I think it is amazing and I love certain outfits by him especially when he wore the white shirt with the black detailing, black pants, and black shoes! When he wore his military, I thought he looked nice!! On Wednesday, I talked about Jungkook's "Golden" concept photos! When I saw these outfits for this concept, I thought he looked amazing and so handsome! I love each outfit a lot!! So handsome!! On Friday, I talked about outfits that I would wear during winter, part 2!! I love the outfits that I picked out for winter! I thought each outfit speak winter and I think they were so cute! If y'all haven't read those blogs and would love to check them out, please check them out at "ilovemakeup17.blogspot.com". Please! Thank you so much! Now, for this week's blogs episodes, I will be talking about analyzing the song "Please, don't change" by Jungkook featuring DJ Snake, blog by: Brandee Marie Darden, my top 3 favorite moments from this year, and analyzing my poem "Life without you" by: Brandee Marie Darden!! Now, without any further ado, let's jump into our blogging imagination and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall!! 

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

For today's blog episode, I will be analyzing the song "Please, Don't Change" by: Jungkook featuring DJ Snake, 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 lyrics, what comes to mind? Why does it come to my mind like that? What does this song mean to me? Why does this song mean to me? If I have any advice about someone telling you to change, what would my advice be? Why would I give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers? Why did I chose to talk about this blog topic? The reason why I chose to talk about this blog topic is because people think we need to change for them and it's not fair for us! When people say "you don't look good", it can hurt people to say things like that and we should never change for someone!! What is this week's song for the week? For this week's song for the week, I chose "Please, Don't Change" by Jungkook, featuring DJ Snake! I love this song so much! When I listen to this song, I think about the times where I wanted to change myself but I realized that I don't need to change and I will never change!! Why did I chose this song for the week? The reason why I chose this song is because we don't need to change for anyone! The ones who don't like us for who we are is dumb and we need to be proud of who we are as a person!! 

Talking about the lyrics! What does the lyrics mean to me? Why do those lyrics mean to me? 

This year, Jungkook came out with a song called "Please, Don't Change" and here how the lyrics goes "Lights on camera

Fast life stamina 

Nowhere to hide on a satellite 

Life on camera 

Even if your stars align and you're light-years away 

I'll be the same, I'll be the same

Tell me if my stars align and I'm light-years away 

Will you do the same? 

Could you, could you please

Please, don't change 

Please, please, don't change

'Cause I love you, yeah, I love you

Oh, I love you, love the way you are

Please, please don't change". What does the lyrics mean to me? The lyrics mean a lot to me!! When you are a celebrity and people tell you to "change" because you don't meet their standards, that can be a little harsh at times! You shouldn't have to listen to the people who are saying "You should change", but you look good either way!! Why do those lyrics mean to me? The reason why these lyrics has meaning is because when you are in the public eye, people can be cruel to you and that can be hard at times! It's not just celebrities, it is also regular people as well! It makes me angry at times when people can be cruel at times!! Let's not change people because people can be insecure with the ways they look and the person who is telling that person to change is making it worse! Don't make it worse!! 

When I listen to this song and think about the lyrics!! 

When I listen to this song and I think about the lyrics, what come to mind? When I think about this song and I think about the lyrics, I think about the meaning of the song and the meaning of the lyrics! I think when people have told me to "not to change" because I have this heart of gold and to know that I have this heart of gold means that I care about people! I am not here to change people and I don't want to change people but people should be the ones who are willing to change their attitude towards that person! I don't believe in people changing their looks or the way they dress but if people don't like the way you dress or the way you look, they just need to suck it up! We don't need to dress a certain way or look a certain way to fit in! We need to be who we are as a person and be proud of who we are as a person!! 

Why? 

Why does it come to my mind like that? The reason why it comes to mind like that is because people expect us to change or people should look a certain way and that is frustrating to me! When people tell you how you should dress or you shouldn't wear this type of an outfit, it can be hard at times because you have worked so hard to gain your confidence when people knock down your confidence, that can hard at times and people should never have to knock down your confidence! You should be confident the way you are and you should be happy in your own body! Don't let anyone tear your confidence down because if you do that, you are letting them win and that's wrong! Never let that person win! Tell yourself that you are confident because one day, you will get there and don't let others knock down your confidence!! 

What does this song mean?  

When I think about what this song means, what does this song mean to me? This song means a lot to me! This song hits home for me because I get in my head a lot and there have been times where I felt like "am I good enough to wear this outfit" or "does my makeup look good", stuff like that!! I get so many insecurities about what I wear or the way I do my makeup at times! When I think this song, I think when people need to have a certain way to look when you are a celebrity or just any person, that can be difficult at times! People should never have to tell you how you should look or the way you dress! To me, it feels like when people are telling others how to dress or the way you should look, it feels like you are changing them and to me, you should never tell a person how to dress or how they should look! That's just me!! 

Why?

Why does this song mean to me? The reason why this song mean to me is because God made you the way you are and of people can accept the fact that you are different and that you are happy the way you are, then that's their fault that they can't accept you for who you are! The person who has to accept you is you and that's it! You should never have to become different for someone who probably can't accept themselves!! Never stoop to others levels because if you stoop to their level, you are showing them that they won and you should never let them win!! Don't let others tear you down! You are much better than that and you look amazing the way you are!! 

My advice!!  

If I have any advice about someone telling you to change, what would my advice be? If I have any advice for my Blogger Dreamers about someone telling you to change, my advice is don't change for that person! If that person can't accept you the way you are, then that's their problem, not your problem! You are an amazing person and if people can't accept you for who you are as a person, then oh well!! People don't realize when you tell them to change, it shows them that they think can change anyone and they can't! If you can't accept the person for who they are, then that's their problem, no yours! You don't have to change for anyone if they can't accept you!!! Don't change for someone!! 

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 them to know how amazing they are are and they should never change for someone who can't accept them for who they are as person!! I know there is people out there in my life who can't accept me for who I am and I am totally fine with that! I am a Christian girl and I am totally okay with that! If people have a problem with me being a Christian girl, oh well! This is who I am and I am fine with it! God made me the way I am and I love being the person who I am! God change my life and I'm glad that he did!! Don't listen to people who can't accept you for who are because you are much better than that! Don't forget that!! 

In closing/ Tip of the day!!  

In closing, don't change for someone who can't accept you for who you are! The person that who you are is awesome and you should never listen to those people don't care about you! The people who don't care about you, they want you to change and that's wrong of them! Don't let people change you! You are much better than that and if you let them change you, then you are changing yourself for them and you are not staying true to yourself at all!!! My tip of the day is don't let people change you! Stay true to who you are as individual person, not someone who listens to others! Stay true to yourself! Don't change for someone who didn't accept you in the first place!! I love y'all!! 

Hello, my Blogger Dreamers!!! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here to remind everyone that y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode for today!! Please, don't change for someone who you can't you as a person that you are now!! The person that you are now is the person who you should accept for who you are! People expect you to change and you should never have to change the person who you are!! Be proud of who you are and accept the person who you are!! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "Anyone who takes the time to be kind is beautiful". - Richelle E. Goodrich. I love this quote so much because being kind to someone is beautiful! Show people that there is more kind people in this world than mean people! People are mean but beautiful people are kind! Let's be kind today!! I love y'all and have a good Monday or in other countries, a good Tuesday! I will see y'all on Wednesday where I will be talking my top 3 favorite moments from this!! Stay tuned for that!! Until next time, "Dream Big! Don't Give Up On Your Dreams" and I will see y'all on the next blog episode! Peace!! ☮✌❤

Today's quote of the day! Let's be kind to one another and not be rude!! 

Lyrics to "Please, Don't Change" by Jungkook featuring DJ Snake! This song reminds me to stay true to myself and that there is people who love me for who I am!! 

"Don't change yourself so that other 
people will like you. 
Be yourself so that the right people 
will love you".
-Unknown. I love this quote so much because if you stay true to who you are, people are going to love you! Stay true to who you are and never change!! 

"Don't change yourself 
just to make 
someone happy,
unless that someone 
is you". 
-Unknown!! I love this quote so much because if you are not happy, then change something about yourself but if someone telling you to change, then don't change for that person!! 

This week's song of the week! Don't let anyone change you for who you are because the person that you are is amazing and don't y'all ever forget that!! I love y'all!! 


 

                                             Blog: Things that stood out to me in 2023! By: Brandee Marie Darden. Friday, 11/17/23!! 

Intro to my blog!!

It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and welcome back to an all new weekly blog episode where I talk about anything from my poems or anything that comes to my mind! How are my Blogger Dreamers doing today? I hope everyone is doing okay and well! 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!!
