💜   Blog: Talking about women's empowerment day! blog by: Brandee Marie Darden! Date: Friday, 3/8/24!! 💖 

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 where I talk about anything that comes to my mind!! How are y'all doing today? I hope and pray that everyone is doing okay and well! Whatever the circumstances might be or whatever might be bothering my Blogger Dreamers, just know y'all are amazing and I'm so proud of y'all! Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday! Who is ready for an all new blog episode? I know that I am! Before I get into today's blog episode, here is a recap of Wednesday's blog episode! On Wednesday, I talked about the word "courage". When I think about the word "courage", I think about someone's bravery or someone's who is brave! I think about someone who gets up every day for work and puts on a brave and courageous face because they don't want to worry others around them! If y'all haven't read this blog and would love to check it out, the blog is called "Talking about the word 'courage'. 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 women's empowerment day! In this blog episode, I will be talking about when I think about women empowerment day, what comes to mind? Why does it come to mind like that? When I think about women who have been through a lot, who comes to mind? Why does those ladies come to mind? Who do I look up to when it comes to strong and powerful ladies? Why do I look up to those ladies? Now, without further ado, let's get our blogging caps on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

Do I consider myself a strong woman? Yes or no? Why or why not? 

Do I consider myself a strong woman? Yes or no? To answer that question, yes I do consider myself as a strong woman! I have been through so much in life where I felt like giving up which I haven't and I am not planning on giving up anytime soon! God is keeping me on this earth for a reason and I am going to keep going! I feel I have grown as a woman which I am very proud of! I feel like I have seen a lot of growth and I am so proud of myself! Why or why not? The reason why I would considered myself as a strong woman is because you would be surprise about how much I have been through in my life and no matter how many times I want to quit, I couldn't because God wanted me to push through and I just keep trying, no matter what! I feel like I have so much to live for and I feel like I could inspire the world with everything that I have been through! I will never give up!

When I think about women empowerment day... 

When I think about women empowerment day, what comes to mind? When I think about women empowerment day, I think about woman who are might be going through a tough time or women who are single moms who are going through everyday life and might be struggling! Us women need to stick together! We are strong women who will get through anything that gets in our way! We are strong and I believe that we can get through anything! We might struggle a little bit, but we will get through it! We are courageous ladies that no matter what we face on a daily basis, we will get through it! Women empowerment day is all about the women who are strong and us ladies are strong! Never give up hope!! 

Why? 

Why does it come to mind like that? The reason why it came to mind like that is because us women go through a lot and men don't realize what we go through on a daily basis! We struggle at times and we think to ourselves that we are not strong but deep down, we are strong and I know that with God on our side, we can get through anything that comes our way! Us women don't need to tear other women down! We need to stand up for one another and pick each other up when we are falling! We don't watch another woman fall but instead, we pick each other! Let's be reminded that us ladies need to stick together, not go our separate ways! We need to help one another because helping each other is the best thing that could do for us! We don't need to let men treat us wrong! We need to find a man who will be there and treat us with respect! I am very blessed to have a man who treats me with respect! Having a man treat you with respect is the best thing that could happen in a relationship! If a man treats you with respect, you should also treat the man with the same respect as well! 

The women who has been through a lot! 

When I think about women who have been through a lot, who comes to mind? When I think about women who have been through a lot, I think about a women who is dealing with cancer! When a woman is going through cancer, she is tired and it is tiring for her family to watch her go through it but the woman is strong and the cancer isn't going to stop her! When I think about women who have been through a lot, the 2nd woman that comes to mind is when she does everything around the house and her husband or boyfriend can't help her do anything! Men - if you see your lady struggling, help her around the house because us women can't do everything around the house! We can only do so much until our body is so tired! Help us out! When I think about women who have been through a lot, the 3rd and final woman that comes to mind is a single mom! When the dad doesn't want to be in the picture, the mom does everything for the kids and that's fair for the single mom! The mom shouldn't have to do everything but instead, the father should help out as well! I appreciate those women who are trying their hardest to get through whatever they are going or trying their hardest for their child or children!  Men need to try harder because us women can't do a lot! Men need to step up and learn how to help! That's just my opinion!! 

Why?  

Why does those ladies come to mind? The 1st reason why when I think about a women who have been through a lot, I think about a women who is dealing with cancer is because cancer is an ugly disease to deal with and watching a women dealing with cancer is tough! Not only it is hurting the woman but it is hurting the family because they are watching her go through chemotherapy and that can take a toll on a person! Cancer is awful! The 2nd reason why when I about a women who have been through a lot, I think about when a lady does everything around the house is because sometimes, when you get into a relationship, you don't know if the man is going to help you or not but when a woman is cleaning the house by herself and it can take a toll on the women's body! We need help to keep the house clean and not someone make it dirty even more! Men - if you see your lady struggling, please help her out! We need help and we can't do everything by ourselves!! The 3rd and final reason why when I think about a women who have been through a lot, I think about a woman who is a single mom is because being a single mom is not easy at all! I had watch people in my life who are ladies who are single mom's and watching them struggle was hard on me! I don't think a kid or even children should grow up without a father in their life and it is sad to see children grow up without a father or for me, I had to watch one parent come in and out of my life (I am not going to say who because if you know me, you know). I appreciate the ladies who deal with a lot and don't complain! Y'all are amazing!

Who I look up to? 

Who do I look up to when it comes to strong and powerful ladies? The 1st person who I look up to is Lauren Daigle! Every time I listen to her song "You Say", I think about how strong I am and to me, she is strong and I love her a lot! The 2nd person who I look up is Katy Nichole! Her song "Hold on" has inspire me so much! That song reminds me no matter what I am going through in life, I have to keep holding on and not to give up! I will keep holding on, no matter what! The 3rd and final person who I look up to is Anne Wilson! I love Anne Wilson! When I listen to her song "strong", it reminds that I need to remain strong through my hard and difficult days! When I do my tiktok videos, I might look and sound strong and happy, but deep down inside, I am going through a battle that no one knows what I am going through except God! God knows what I am going through and when I am struggling, I think about the songs by these ladies! 

Why?

Why do I look up to those ladies? The 1st reason why I look up to Lauren Daigle is because her music to me has help me through a lot and when I listen to "You Say", I think about the things that I have said about myself and I know that God loves me for who I am! God loves me and I need to learn how to let go those things that I said about myself! The 2nd reason why I look up to Katy Nichole is because when I am going through a lot, I think about the painting that I did of her song "Hold on". I have to keep reminding myself that no matter what I am going through in life, I need to keep holding on! I need to remind myself that I need to stay strong for the people around me including my boyfriend! I need to hold on for him! The 3rd and final reason why I look up to Anne Wilson is because she is a powerful Christian musician and her song "strong" reminds me that I am going to stay strong for the people who are always on my side and who is always there for me, no matter what! I will stay strong for my friends who care about me, my family who love me, and my boyfriend who loves and cares about me and would do anything for me! These ladies are very powerful and I love each of them so much! 

In closing/ Question of the day? 

In closing, us ladies are very strong and powerful!! People don't realize what we go through on a daily basis and you know, I am proud to say that I am a strong woman who has been through a lot in my life! I grew up a lot and I learned along the way that I don't need people who don't care about me and who never cared about me in the beginning! I am proud for who I become and who I will become in the future! I appreciate the ladies who are single moms because being a single mom is not easy and watching y'all go through a lot, y'all are strong and I am so proud of y'all! People don't realize we wake up and some of us go to work or we keep the the house clean and it can be a difficult keeping the house clean! Men think it is easy to be a woman but in a reality, it is not easy at all! Men, if you see us struggling, please help us out! It is hard to do a lot of things on our own! Always treat a lady with respect because if we treat you with respect, we expect the same thing! Here is my question of the day: My question of the day is who are 3 powerful ladies do y'all look up to? Why do y'all look up to those ladies? Sound off in the comments down below and let me know! I would love to read y'all's comments! Please! Thank you all so much!! I love y'all! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode for today! Us women need to stick together, no matter what! Instead of tearing each other down, we should lift each other up! I don't believe in tearing other women down because it is rude and disrespectful! We need to treat each other with respect and lift and encourage other women! Let's be an encourager to other women!! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "Ambitious women only have 2 options: A supportive partner or no partner at all". - Unknown! I love this quote a lot because us women don't need to tolerate guys who won't support us at all! We need a partner who will support us through everything and I am very blessed to have someone who is so supportive! I love y'all and I hope and pray that everyone will have a good Friday or in other countries, a good Saturday! Always remember "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on my 1st blogging page where I will be talking about miscommunication vs communication, talking about the word "Bravery", and what makes me encouraging? Stay tuned for all new blogs next week! I love y'all and I will see y'all next week! This Blogger Queen is out! Peace! ☮✌💙

Today's quote of the day! I absolutely love this quote so much because we deserve to have someone who will support us through everything and I am very blessed to have a man who supports me in everything that I do! 

"The strength of a woman is 
not measured by the impact
that all her hardships in life 
have had on her.
The strength of a woman is 
measured by the extent of her
refusal to allow those 
hardships to dictate her and 
who she becomes".
-Joy Bell C. I absolutely love this quote a lot because us women shouldn't let our hardships impact our lives, but we should show people what we have been through and we should never let anything bother us or take us down! 

Lauren Daigle - Her song "You Say" reminds me that I should never let those things bother me because God loves me for who I am! 

Katy Nichole - Her song "Hold On" reminds me to always hold on until I can't hold on anymore! I will hold on until I can't anymore! I will fight until I can't fight anymore! I will fight until my very breath!! 

Anne Wilson - Her song "Strong" reminds me that no matter how hard things can be, I have to keep going and I will keep going until I can't anymore!! 

To end today's blog episode, here is this week's song of the week! I chose "Like Crazy" by Jimin! I chose this song because it has a good beat to it and I love it so much!! Such a good song!

                                          Blog: Talking about the word "courage". by: Brandee Marie Darden! Date of blog: Wednesday, 3/6/24!! 

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! Well, how are my Blogger Dreamers doing today? I hope and pray that everyone is doing okay and well! Whatever the circumstances might be or whatever my Blogger Dreamers are going through, just know that y'all are never alone in this battle and I'm here to help y'all get through it! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! Who is ready for an all new blog episode for today? I know that I am but before I get into today's blog episode, here is a recap of Monday blog episode! On Monday, I talked about meeting my boyfriend for the first time! On Sunday, February 25th of this year was the best day of my life! Meeting my boyfriend for the 1st time was the best day that I could ever experience! Spending the day with my man was amazing! If y'all haven't read that blog and would love to check that blog 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 the word "courage". In this blog episode, I will be talking about when I think about the word "courage", what comes to mind? Why does it come to mind like that? When I think about the people who have courage, who comes to mind? Why would those people come to my mind like that? If I have any advice about being courageous, what would my advice be? Why would I give my Blogger Dreamers that advice? Now, without any further ado, let's get our blogging thinking caps on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

What makes me courageous? Why does that thing make me courageous? 

What makes me courageous? I think what makes me courageous is how I wake up everyday despite what I am going through and help people and praise God everyday! I will have days where I want to give up and quit because God wants me to keep going and wants me to keep pushing through! I have to remind myself that people who I need to keep going for is my boyfriend, my friends who care about me, and the family who is there for me, no matter what! I have to remind myself that I can't quit and I am trying to stay courageous which is hard for me to do at times but I am trying to! Why does that thing make me courageous? The reason why how I wake up everyday despite what i am going through and help people and praise God everyday makes me courageous is because I might be going through in my mind or dealing with mental health issues, I want to help people and praise God because to me, praising God helps my soul! God will help me get through what I am going through! God will guide me and protect me! Lean on God!

When I think about courage, what comes to mind?

When I think about the word "courage", what comes to mind? When I think about the word "courage", the thing that comes to mind is how strong that person is! When I think about someone having courage, I think about how strong they are and they are not afraid to take risks! I am that person who doesn't care if I take risks! I am that person who will do anything for someone because I care about people! Don't be afraid to take risks for a reason! Always be courageous while taking those risks! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid to do something out of your comfort zone! I had to do things that was out of my comfort zone and let's just say, it was scary at first but I did it! I had courage within myself!

Why? 

Why does it come to mind like that? The reason why it came to mind like that is because people are strong all the time! People can take a certain situation and change it! With me, I take a certain situation and change it because I know that if I dwell on it, it is not going to take me anywhere and I am just going to cry about it! For me, I need to be courageous and have courage within myself because I know that God gave me that situation and he wants me to have courage about it! In life, we should never be afraid to take risks and we should always have the courage within ourselves, no matter what! We should step out of our comfort zone and not be afraid to do anything because God would want us to do anything that is along our comfort zone! Always step out your zone!! 

People who have courage! 

When I think about the people who have courage, who comes to mind? When I think about the people who have courage, I think about people who are not afraid to take risks in life! They don't care what it takes to hurt themselves, they rather take risks and have that courage! I love that! When I think about people who have courage, I also think about people who get up and put a smile on their face! When you are dealing with mental health, it is hard to get up everyday and think to yourself "is today going to be an ugly day or a good day" and that is hard for me at times! I might put a smile on my face from time to time, but does it mean that I am okay and strong? Probably not! I love how single moms are courageous as well or even single dads as well! While the one parent is being absent, the other parent is taking care of everything and that is amazing! That takes a lot of courage! We are all human and we need to have that courage within us! Don't be afraid to take risks and live your life!! 

Why? 

Why would those people come to my mind like that? The reason why those people come to mind is because when I think about people taking risks on a daily basis, I think about how much courage they have and for example, I think about skateboarders who do tricks or Kpop idols who go on stage and they might do something that might do something like a dance and they get hurt! That takes a lot of courage of a skateboarder doing a certain trick or a Kpop artist doing a dance that could get them hurt because they don't know if the floor is wet and they could get hurt! The 2nd reason why those people who have mental health come to mind is because they have to push what they are feeling and help others but at the end of the day, they are tired and they are not in the mood to deal with people! People who are dealing with mental health issues are courageous and I know that they can get through anything because I am trying to be courageous and to push through everyday! I might be smiling everyday but it is hard to pretend that everything is okay! The 3rd and final reason why single moms and dads come to mind is because they have to make a lot of decisions and sometimes they are hard decisions and sometimes, it is courageous decisions! Being a single parent isn't the easiest thing because I had to watch one of my parents do it and that was hard for me but that parent did an amazing job by raising me! We are all human and we need to be courageous and don't give up!

My advice! 

If I have any advice about being courageous, what would my advice be? My advice to my Blogger Dreamers about being courageous is don't be afraid to take risks and step out of your comfort zone! The more you step out of your comfort zone, the more better you will get better at that! Don't be afraid to do anything that you are not afraid to do anything! Don't be afraid to take risks that won't cause you any danger! Don't be afraid to go for your dreams and being courageous about because if you don't go for your dreams and be courageous about it, how you are going to complete those dreams? Don't let anything or anyone hold you back! I met my boyfriend for the 1st time and was I nervous? Yes but I had to be courageous and surprise him which was totally worth it! Have courage within yourself and don't be afraid to be courageous! Y'all can do it! I believe in y'all!

Why? 

Why would I give my Blogger Dreamers that advice? The reason why I would give my advice to my Blogger Dreamers is because I don't want my Blogger Dreamers to be afraid to step out of their comfort zone and be courageous about it! I don't want them to scared or nervous! I want them to have bravery and remind themselves that they can do it and they don't need to be scared and drop out of whatever they are afraid of! Was I scared to meet my boyfriend? Yes but I went through it because I wanted to meet him so much! Have bravery in yourself and don't be scared! I believe in my Blogger Dreamers, no matter what! Don't quit and stand your ground! I believe in y'all and don't be scared!! 

In closing/ Tip of the the day! 

In closing, don't be afraid to go for your dreams and be courageous about it! Don't give up on something because you were scared of doing it! When I met my boyfriend, I am not going to afraid to admit it, but I was scared to meet him because I didn't know how I would act around him or if he would still love me but once I met him, all my of worries vanished and I had the courage to meet him and I am so glad that I did! Don't be afraid to take risks and do what you love! Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you love because if you love it and it makes you happy, keep doing it! God will lead you on the right path and he will lead you on the right path in life! Here is my tip of the day: My tip of the day is don't stop being afraid of doing something that you like to do! Instead of being afraid, be brave and have courage! God made you brave and courageous for a reason! Don't let anyone or anything stop you! Y'all got this! I believe in my Blogger Dreamers!! I love y'all from the bottom of my heart! Remember that! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and y'all have reached the end of today's blog episode for today! I hope and pray that y'all enjoyed today's blog episode for today! The moral of this blog is don't let anyone or anything stop you from chasing your dreams! Don't let your nervousness get the best of you! Show the world how brave you are and that you can do it! God made you the way you are! Don't be scared because if you show people how scare you are, then you are showing them that being scared is okay and it is not okay! Don't be scared of chasing your dreams! Y'all can do it! I believe in y'all and y'all can do it! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "standing alone is better than standing with people who don't value you". -Unknown. I couldn't agree with this quote anymore because I rather stand alone than people who don't care what my worth is or how valuable I am! I rather stand alone than with people who doesn't see how worthy I am! Standing alone is better than standing with other people! I am just saying! I love y'all and I pray that everyone will have a good day or had a good day! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! Always remember: "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on the next blog where I will be talking about women empowerment day! I love y'all and this Blogger Queen is out! Peace! ☮✌💕

Today's quote of the day! I love this quote a lot because I rather stand alone than with a bunch of people who don't value me as a person which hurts a lot! Standing by yourself is much better than being around a lot of fakes! 

"Courage is nothing 
more than taking one 
step more than you 
think you can".
-Holly Lisle. I love this quote a lot because don't force yourself to make more steps than you can! Don't overwhelm yourself with something that you think you can't do! Take small steps! 

"Courage Doesn't 
Mean You Don't 
Get Afraid.
Courage Means 
You Don't Let 
Fear Stop You".
-Unknown. I agree with this quote because you shouldn't have to be afraid of doing something that you love to do but instead of fear get the best of you, use that fear to be your motivation to get you through! 

"If you have the 
courage to start, 
you have the 
courage to 
succeed". 
-Mel Robbins. I lobe this quote a lot because in order to do something that you love to do, you have to have courage and always believe in yourself, no matter what! Have courage in yourself! 

I love y'all and I hope y'all don't let fear stop y'all from accomplishing y'all's dreams! I believe in y'all! 💙💙

                                       💙   Blog: Talking about meeting my boyfriend for the first time! Blog by: Brandee Marie Darden! Date: Monday, 3/4/24! 💜 

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! How are y'all my Blogger Dreamers doing today? I hope and pray that everyone is doing okay and well!

Happy Monday or in other countries, happy Tuesday! I hope and pray that everyone had a good weekend and I pray that y'all stay safe as well! Before I get into today's blog episode and talk about this week's blog episodes, here is a recap of last week's blog episodes! Last week on the makeup and fashion blog page, on Monday, I talked about my top 3 Korean male celebrities who I would love to do their makeup on. I don't see a problem with males wearing makeup because with male Kpop celebrities or pretty much any male Kpop celebrities, they would looked white washed on stage and that wouldn't look good at all! With J-Hope, I can see myself doing a light brown and dark brown combo with a red lip! I think he would look amazing and phenomenal! On Wednesday, I talked about my top 3 favorite outfits from this year so far! When I think about my favorite outfits from this year so far, the 1st outfit that comes to mind is the outfit that I wore on Sunday, February 25th which is my yellow dress with white polka dots, white shoes, and my blue jean vest with white lace detailing!! I thought that outfit was absolutely precious and it was so beautiful! I love it a lot and I would wear that outfit again! On Friday, I talked about my top 3 favorite jewelry! When I think about my favorite necklaces, bracelets, and earrings and with the necklace, what comes to mind is my gold "blessed" necklace! Every time I wear that necklace, I think about how God blessed me in so many ways! If y'all haven't read these blogs and would love to check them out, you can check them out at "ilovemakeup.blogspot.com". Please, go check them out whenever y'all can! Thank you all so much! For this week's blog episodes, I will be talking about meeting my boyfriend for the first time, the word "courage", and women's empowerment day!! Stay tuned for these blogs and let's our blogging caps on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

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

For today's blog episode, I will be talking about meeting my boyfriend for the first time! In this blog episode, I will be talking about if I could describe the feeling that I met my boyfriend for the first time, how would I describe that feeling? Why would I describe that feeling the way that I did? How happy was I meeting my boyfriend for the 1st time? Why was I happy? If I have any advice to give to my Blogger Dreamers about meeting significant other for the first time, what would my advice be? Why would I give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers? Why did I choose to talk about today's blog episode? The reason why I chose to talk about today's blog episode is because ever since my dad and my bonus mom set the date of us meeting, I been wanting to do a blog about for so long and I am so happy that today is the day that I will be talking about our meeting and I am so excited to share and talk about it! What is this week's song of the week? For this week's song of the week, I choose "Like Crazy" by Jimin the English version! I love how upbeat this song is and I love how powerful this song is! It is a very good song and I absolutely love it! Why did I choose this week's song of the week? I chose this song because I love the beat of the song and I love how Jimin did the song! He did very well with it!! 

The significance of Sunday, February 25th, 2024! Why is that day so significant? 

What is the significance of Sunday, February 25th, 2024? The significance of Sunday, February 25th is to surprise and to make my boyfriend's day which I succeeded well! That day is and always be a day where me and my boyfriend will never forget! To this day, we are still talking about! Sunday, February 25th will be day where I am not going to forget! It will hold a special memory forever and ever! I will always be a special day for us until we meet again! Why is that day so significant? The reason why it is so significant is because meeting someone for the 1st time can be a little nerve wracking at first but once y'all get comfortable with one another, then everything will okay! For me, I was a little nervous at first but once I got comfortable, I think I felt better! That day will always be special and I will never forget it!! 

Describe the feeling that I met my boyfriend! 

If I could describe the feeling that I met my boyfriend for the first time, how would I describe that feeling? The feeling that I met my boyfriend for the first time was a feeling that I have been waiting for a long time! I was nervous, happy, and excited! I felt so many emotions but the emotions that I was feeling the most was happy and excited! We always talked about meeting each other but when I got to surprise him, I felt so many emotions that day that I couldn't believe that I was going to meet him for the 1st time! I couldn't believe that I was going to hug him for the 1st time! Hugging him for the 1st time felt so unreal! I instantly felt safe in his arms and I never wanted to let go! Holding his hand felt unreal as well! I just felt safe around him!! 

Why? 

Why would I describe that feeling the way that I did? The reason why I describe that feeling the way that I did is because throughout our relationship, we did phone calls, facetimes, and text and us meeting for the 1st time was an accomplishment because we achieve that goal that we wanted to do for a long time and I am so happy that we did! Hugging him and holding his hand for the 1st time was unreal for me but I felt so safe with him! Usually for me, it takes me a little while to warm up to someone and getting comfortable with them but with my boyfriend, I instantly felt comfortable with him because I know him almost 4 years and we have been in a relationship a year and 4 months and I am so happy to have someone who I can instantly feel safe and comfortable around because that's important when it comes to a relationship! Having someone who makes you feel comfortable and happy is important! I will never forget the day I met my boyfriend and I don't think he will never forget either!

How happy? 

How happy was I meeting my boyfriend for 1st time? I was very happy to meet my boyfriend for the 1st time! When we saw each other for 1st time, it felt so unreal and I couldn't believe it was actually happening in that very moment! We always talked about meeting each other, but we could never make that moment happen until Sunday, February 25th and I am actually happy about us meeting for the 1st time! The real date was supposed to February 18th but my boyfriend fell sick, so we ended up pushing for Sunday, February 25th which I am so happy that we did! I was very happy about meeting my boyfriend for the 1st time and I would relive that moment again! It was such a good moment for the both of us and I was so happy to surprise him at his church and got to meet his church family and his pastor!! Everyone was so nice!! 

Why?

Why was I happy? The reason why I was happy is because when you are in a long distance relationship like me and my boyfriend are, it is hard to figure out when you and your partner could meet and where we could meet and stuff like that but when we did meet for the 1st time, I felt so happy that I could cry and I never thought we would be able to meet because of how busy my parents are and stuff like that but I am so happy that I got to meet him and surprise him for the 1st time! Surprising him was so worth it and I am so glad that I got to do that! That Sunday will always be my favorite, no matter what! Just seeing him made me so happy! I will never forget our 1st meeting!!

My advice!

If I have any advice to give to my Blogger Dreamers about meeting your significant other for the first time, what my advice be? If you are meeting your significant other for the 1st time, my advice is it is okay to be nervous! I was nervous meeting my boyfriend for the 1st time! It's okay to be nervous because everyone gets nervous every once in a while! I felt nervous for a little bit but then, I felt comfortable after that! Ladies - you don't have to wear makeup for your man! You don't have to impress him because he is already impress with you! Men - you don't have to look good for your lady! Just as long as your hair is brushed and you look nice, we are good! Don't fight your nerves! Just be yourself and be happy!! 

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 once I got around my boyfriend, I was nervous because it was nerve wracking meeting someone who you love for the 1st time but once I started being who I am, I was just making memories that I could remember forever! Being in his presence and being around him was the best thing for me! I loved how he made me laugh that day and I will never forget that day as long as I am alive! If any of my Blogger Dreamers are in a long distance relationship, it's okay! You will be able to see the person that you love soon! Don't give up hope! Ladies - you don't have to impress your man because if he doesn't like you the way you are, that's his loss, not yours! Men - if your lady doesn't like you the way you are, that's her loss, not yours! Always be yourself!

In closing/ Tip of the day!! 

In closing, Sunday, February 25th, 2024 will be a day to remember! A day where meeting my boyfriend for the 1st time will always be special! When we became friends almost 4 years ago, I never thought I would be in a relationship with him! I saw him as my best friend and nothing more but as time went on, my feelings for Aaron grew stronger and stronger each day and on November 1st, 2022, we became boyfriend and girlfriend and that's when we questioned in our head "when can we meet"? With our parents so busy, it was hard to figure out when we could meet but I am so happy that I could surprise him at his church! Would I relive that moment again? Of course I would! It was the key highlight of 2024 so far! Having someone who makes me feel safe and protected is the best thing ever! Meeting my boyfriend was the best day ever! Here is my tip of the day: My tip of the day is find someone who will protect you and make you safe because having that person who does that is the best feeling in the world and never let go of that person! I love y'all!

Happy Friday or in other countries, Happy Saturday! Before I get into today's blog episode, here is a recap of Wednesday's blog episode! On Wednesday, I talked about my poem "Focusing on yourself". It's okay to focus on yourself every once in a while! It's okay to have that break because everyone deserves a break! Take yourself some me time! It's okay to be selfish every once in a while! If y'all haven't read this blog episode and would love to check it out, the blog is called analyzing my poem "Focusing on yourself" by Brandee Marie Darden!! Please, go check it out whenever y'all can! Please! Thank you s much! I love y'all! For today's blog episode, I will be analyzing my poem "When people's words bother you". In this blog, I will be talking about when people say mean things, how can it hurt a person? Why when people say mean things to a person it can be hurtful? When people say positive things, how can it make a person happy? Why can it make a person happy? What is the moral of my poem? Why is that the moral of my poem? Now, let's get our blogging caps on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

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

On Tuesday, November 21st of last year, I wrote a poem called "When people's words bother you" and it goes a little something like this: "When people's words bother you" by Brandee Marie Darden! "When people's 

words bother you, 

it can take a 

mental toll on you.

People's words 

can be awful

when they say 

mean things, but

when people say

good things, then 

we are good! 

Let's be nice 

and say positive

things to others. 

Let's not tear

each other down"! 

Love, Brandee Marie Darden! Written on Tuesday, 11/21/23!! What is the meaning behind this poem? The meaning behind this poem is when people's words hurt you, you feel hurt and it breaks your heart but when people's words are in a positive way, you feel happy and you will take those words to heart! Words can hurt you or impact you! It only depends on the person! Why is there meaning behind this poem? The reason why there is meaning behind this poem is because people can be negative or positive, it only depends on the person! Sometimes, a person can be negative because life isn't going right but a person can be positive when they are having a good day! Words can impact a person in a good way or a negative way, it only depends on the person! 

Hurt a person? 

When people say mean things, how can it hurt a person? When people say mean things, it can depend on a person and how they react! When someone say something hurtful to me, I tend to want to cry! Sometimes, words can hurt me and hurts so much! What people don't realize is, words can hurt! Words can leave an impact on a person and when you hurt a person with saying "you're ugly" or "you will never make it in life", that hurts a person! You should be careful what you say to a person! Mean words can hurt and can leave an impact on you!! Be careful what you say to someone!! Your words can hurt someone and that is not good! 

Why? 

Why when people say means to a person it can be hurtful? The reason why when you say mean things to a person it can be hurtful because when you say awful things to a person, they are going to remember it forever and always! Words can leave such an impact on a person and to them, they will always remember what you say! Awful words can hurt a person or even when you bullying someone with your words! No matter what you say to a person, always be careful with your words! Be careful what your words can do! It can hurt and damage a person! 

a person happy? 

When people say positive things, how can it make a person happy? When people say positive things, it reminds people that they are doing an amazing job at whatever they are doing! When someone tells you "you're amazing" or "I'm proud of you", it makes a person feel good! It reminds a person to always keep pushing through and to never give up! When people say positive words, it helps a person to get through whatever they are going through! Positive words can help a person and it can remind a person that no matter what they are going through in life, positive words can help them and we need to be positive with our words! Positive words hold power and it can help a person with what they are going through! Be kind and positive to someone and make them happy! 

Why? 

Why can it make a person happy? The reason why when you say positive words to a person to make them happy because it is a reminder for that person to know that they are doing a good job or to remind that person no matter how hard life can get, you are always proud of them, no matter what! Being reminded from someone how proud you are of them or they are doing amazing at what they are doing, it can make their heart happy! For example, before I go to bed at night, my boyfriend would always tell me "Good luck on your blog or tiktok", when I hear that, my heart feels so happy because I know that in my heart, my boyfriend wants me to do well on both of my tiktok and my blog episodes which makes me feel good! When you hear words like "you're doing amazing" or "keep up the good work", it makes your heart happy and for me, positive words can make someone happy! Make someone happy today by telling them positive words!! 

The moral of my poem! 

What is the moral of my poem? The moral of my poem is be careful what you and how it can impact on a person! When you say negative things, it can hurt a person but when you something positive, it can make a person happy! When you are tearing someone apart with negative words, that person can feel angry and hurt! You are suppose to support a person, not hurt a person! When a person hears positive affirmation, it reminds them to keep going and to never give up! People can be mean to other people these days and it is not right for one person to hear positive words where the other person has to hear negative words! Both of them needs to hear positive words! We need to spread positive words around and be positive to one another, not negative! 

Why?

Why is that the moral of my poem? The reason why that is the moral of my poem is because when you say ugly and hurtful words, it hurts a person and sometimes, it makes a person over think things and that is hard for a person! For me, when people say negative things to me, it hurts me a lot! It makes me over think a lot and it hurts but I remind myself that I am much better than that! I don't need negative words to impact my life and I am not going to let negative words tear me down! Don't let people with a negative attitude tear you down because you are much better than that! I love y'all! 

In closing/ tip of the day!! 

In closing, people's words can either hurt you or break you and that hurts to know that people's words can have impact on you and you shouldn't have to go through life with people hurting you with words! You should have people influence in a positive way, not a negative way! People's words are extremely hurtful and people needs to be careful what they say because it can hurt someone! There are people who can say mean things and there are people who can say nice things! Find the people who are really nice and who will be there for you, no matter what! Here is my tip of the day: My tip of the day is be kind to the people around you because you don't know what they are going through until you went through it yourself! Please, say positive things to people, not negative things! I love y'all and please, stay positive!! 

Well, hello my Blogger Dreamers! It's your girl aka the Blogger Queen herself, Brandee here and y'all just made to the end of today's blog episode! We need to be careful what we say to other people because negative words hurt a person and when you hurt that person, you are them forever! Mean words can hurt a person while positive words can make a person happy! People need to feel uplifted when they are positive and great words! Words aren't suppose to hurt! They are suppose to make you feel good and help you through good times! We need to be kind to one another and be there for one another! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this: "Anyone can lose their way... All you need is the courage to walk the unfamiliar and daunting path again". -Choi Seungcheol. I absolutely love this quote a lot because people can lose their way but you need to build up the courage and walk an unfamiliar path you are not aware of and keep walking until you reach your destination! Don't let anything or anyone stop you! I love y'all so much and I hope and pray that everyone will have a good day or in other countries, had a good day! Happy Friday or happy Saturday! I will see y'all on my makeup and fashion blog page where I will be talking about my top 3 Korean male celebrities who I would love to do their makeup on, my top 3 favorites outfits from this year so far, and my top 3 favorite jewelry! Stay tuned for that and until next time, "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on the next blog episode! This Blogger Queen is out! Peace! ☮✌💖

Today's quote of the day! I absolutely love this quote because people tend to lose their way a lot of the times but people who have courage tend to walk unfamiliar and daunting path again until they reach their destination! Don't stop until you reach your destination!! 

My poem that I did about "When people's words bother you", written on Tuesday, November 21st, 2023! I love this poem a lot because I had people's words impact on me a lot and I shouldn't have done that! Don't let people's words hurt you or tear you down, but instead, let them uplift them and inspire you! 

"Don't worry about 
what others think. Just focus
on yourself and be positive.
Some people are always 
negative, so don't let it 
bother you".
-Unknown! I love this quote a lot because you shouldn't have to worry about what others think about you! Worry about yourself and don't let people's words bother you!! 

"People are so good with words 
that they can make you believe 
anything... however what 
matters are their actions".
-Unknown. I love this quote a lot because people can make you believe that whatever they say, it can be positive but their actions say other wise and that's not good at all! 

For this week's song of the week, I chose "Miracle" by NSB! When I listen to this song, I think about the soft beat to it and how soft the song it is! Such a good song!

Thank you so much! For today's blog episode, I will be analyzing my poem "Focusing on yourself" by: Brandee Marie Darden! In this blog, I will talking about what is this poem all about? Why did I write this poem all about? What is the importance of focusing on yourself? Why is there importance on focusing on yourself? If I had to give any advice to my Blogger Dreamers who are having trouble focusing on themselves, what is my advice? Why would I give that advice to my Blogger Dreamers? Now, without any further ado, let's get our blogging caps on and get this blog episode started! Shall we? We shall! 

Talking about my poem! What was my thought process behind this poem? Why did I have a thought process behind this poem? 

On Tuesday, January 2nd of this year, I wrote a poem called "Focusing on yourself" and here how it goes: "Focusing on yourself" by: Brandee Marie Darden! 

"Focusing on yourself

isn't a selfish thing 

at all! When you need

to focus on yourself, 

you are focusing on 

what you need in life! 

Don't let anyone tell

you that focusing on

yourself is selfish because 

focusing on yourself

is not selfish! You are 

doing something that

is good for your 

mental health! Focusing 

on yourself is okay! 

Focus on your mental 

health"! 

Written on Tuesday, 1/2/24! What was my thought process behind this poem? I think my thought process behind this poem is I wanted people to know that it is okay to focus on yourself and not have to feel a certain way about it! People might think "focusing on yourself is selfish" but in reality, it's not selfish at all! I rather focus on what's going with me than listening to someone say "You're being selfish right now". Why did I have a thought process behind this poem? The reason why I thought process behind this poem is because people might think it is wrong to focus on yourself when it is not wrong at all! I rather focus on what's wrong with me than focus on other people! Yes, it is okay to help people out every once in a while but sometimes, you need to focus on yourself as well and your mental health is important! Focus on what's important!

This poem all about! 

What is this poem all about? This poem is all about focusing on yourself! When you are struggling with mental health, all you want to do is to focus on yourself and wants what is best for you! When people say "Focusing on yourself is not important", in my eyes, when you are dealing with any problems, not just mental health, you want to focus on yourself! Life can be so stressful at times and when you deal with a long day at work or just a long day, you just want a day to yourself and that's not bad at all but people might say "you're being selfish". It's okay to take a day to yourself and focus on you for a little bit! There is nothing wrong with being selfish and it's okay to focus on yourself! Focus on what's important! 

Why? 

Why did I write this poem all about? The reason why I wrote this poem all about is because when you focus on yourself, you want to make yourself feel better and not depressed! You want people to know that you are doing okay without them worrying about you! Focusing on you isn't a bad thing at all but people tend to make it out to be! I rather focus on what's important for my well being than listen to someone who says "you're being selfish". Focusing on your well being and getting better within yourself is much important and I feel like people are just being rude when they are saying that! It is important to focus on your well being than focusing on someone else's well being! Don't listen to others!! 

The importance on focusing on yourself? 

What is the importance of focusing on yourself? I think the importance of focusing on yourself is to make yourself happy and have that self discovery within yourself! I rather focus on what's important for my life than let someone drag me down for saying "it's not important to focus on yourself". To me, finding out what's going and trying to figure out a way to make yourself happy is extremely important! Before you could make others happy, you need to find a way to make yourself happy and having that me time is extremely important! Focusing on what's going good for your life is much better than not focusing on what's not good! Focusing on what's good for you is much better than focusing on the bad! Focus on what's good for you and make yourself happy!! 

Why? 

Why is there importance on focusing on yourself? I think there is importance on focusing on yourself because you want to focus on what's important for your life and what's good with your life! When you focus on what's good. your mood starts to change, your positive outlook on life starts to change and you focusing on the positive stuff is much better than focusing on the negative stuff! Don't let the negative stuff or negative people around you change you or don't let them tell you that "you're selfish" because you are not being selfish and you are doing what's right for you!! Focus on what's good for you!! 

My advice!  

If I had to give any advice to my Blogger Dreamers who are having trouble focusing on themselves, what is my advice? If I have to give any advice to my Blogger Dreamers who are having trouble focusing on themselves, my advice is instead of focusing on what's going on around you with other people, focus on what's good for you! Focus on what's going on inside your mind and try to make yourself happy! Making yourself happy is the most important thing and have that importance to know that you need to make yourself happy is very important! Make yourself happy before you make someone else happy! Don't focus on what's going on around you, instead focus on what's going on inside you that way you can fix what's going on inside you! Don't listen to others!! 

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 focus on the negative stuff, it tends to bring you down but when you focus on the positive stuff, you feel much better and you are not worried about the other things in life! Focus on what's good for you instead of the negative stuff! Put your mind at ease and focus on what's good and not what's bad! I rather focus on what's good for my mental health than what's bad for my mental health!! Focus on the good stuff instead of the bad stuff!! 

In closing/ Tip of the day!  

In closing, focusing on yourself isn't a bad thing at all! Instead of focusing on what's bad for your mental health, focus on what's good for your mental health! Don't let one negative bad comment hurt you because someone thinks focusing on you is such a bad thing! Focusing on you isn't a bad thing at all! You need to focus on you make yourself happy! Your happiness is what that counts for you! You need to do whatever it takes to make sure that you're doing okay! You need to worry about what's going with you instead of focusing on what's going on with others! Don't let others dictate how you are feeling! You have your own feelings and feel how you want to feel! Here is today's tip of the day! For today's tip of the day, it is focus on yourself isn't a bad thing! Focusing on yourself is okay because you are focusing what's good for you and what's good your mental health! Focus on what makes you feel amazing and wonderful! I love y'all from the bottom of my heart!! 

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 today! I hope everyone enjoyed today's blog episode for today! The moral of this blog is always focus on yourself for the sake of your mental health! Focusing on what is good for you isn't a bad thing at all! It's okay to focus on what's important for you and what is important for your mind! Do what makes you happy!! Don't let others make you feel bad for focusing on yourself and making yourself feel better!! For today's quote of the day, it goes something like this, "While you're diligently taking a step forward, don't forget to take some time looking up to the sky and see how it always opens for you". - Lee Taeyong. I absolutely love this quote so much because when you are looking up to the sky, you are thanking God and the loved ones who are watching over you! Your loved ones are so proud of you and they know that you are doing a good job!! I pray that everyone will have a good day or had a good day! Happy Wednesday or in other countries, Happy Thursday! Please, stay safe and always remember "Dream Big! Don't give up on your dreams" and I will see y'all on the next blog episode where I will be analyzing my poem "When people's words bother you". I love y'all and I will see y'all on the next blog episode! Peace! ☮✌💖

Today's quote of the day! Love this quote a lot because when you are looking up in the sky, you know that God is leading you the way and your love ones are protecting you and helping you through hard times!! 

My poem that I wrote on Tuesday, January 2nd of this year! It is important to focus on yourself and make yourself happy! Always make yourself happy!! 

"Never forget three things in life that only
belong to you - your focus, time, and 
inner peace. Never trade them for 
anything else in this world".
-Unknown. I love this quote so much because those things are so important for your life and don't trade those things for anything else!! 

"You Have 
Your Own 
Life, Why
Waste It On
Focusing On 
Others". 
-Nitin Namdeo. I love this quote so much because when you have your own life to worry about, don't focus on other's life! Focus on what's going on in your life than everyone's else life because your life is important and you need to focus on your life! 

Focus on what's important in your life instead of other's lives!! You're life is something that you focus on because you shouldn't focus on people's lives! Your life is important and focus on what's good in your life!
