Oh my gosh rowing classes? Like canoeing?? That sounds so cool. Iām glad youāve been able to enjoy it now that youāre warming up to it!!
Actually, it’s much cooler than that! It’s the type you use for competitive sports. Some colleges do it, but I believe it’s mainly up here in New England. So far I’ve done sweeping, sculling, a single boat, a group of four and a group of eight. Want to try a double with one of the experienced rowers sometime, but haven’t gotten the chance yet.

#AnduthForever (hopefully š)July 24, 2024 at 5:53 pm #183660Oof yess, Iāve done that before too š But girlie if you ever feel the need to step away for a few weeks or however long you need, donāt be afraid to do that! Weāre always here for you but we understand that we all have lives outside of KP and sometimes taking a small break can be super beneficial š«¶ And if not, thatās great too!!
Aww thanks girliešš
I am hahaha, itās okay though, the lack of sleep was worth the spiritual experiences I got to have š“ Oh my gosh yes girl, that is so me š This was like the one time that I didnāt get sick after camp
Yess for real! I always am like “well this sucks but it’s worth it” because I always grow SO MUCH CLOSER to God at camp!!
here I think you need this more than I do
You’re so generous XD XD thanks girl hahaha
Awwww girl, Iām so sorryš That sounds so rough. Several of my extended family members have dealt with mental illness and ADHD so Iām relatively familiar with it. I want you to know that Iām here for you and Iām praying for you!! Youāre gonna get through this, girl. Donāt be afraid to reach out if you ever need anything! Love you ā¤
Thank you sooo much girl you have no idea how much that means to me!!!! Love you too Light!!!! <333
It helps that I’ve been growing closer to my family over the summer…going to public school kind of ruined my relationship with my family and I was so distant and just tired of people after a 9 hour day away from home! But God is good and now I’m going to counseling to help me deal with all my stress and emotions (scary, but oh well I’ll survive somehow)! And I’ve learned to trust my family again after a season of depression where I self-isolated and wouldn’t let anyone in…so praise God I am where I am today, even if it’s not perfect š
I’ve struggled with being lonely a lot since I don’t have that many close friends, but I realized that Jesus wants to and should be my bestie and I’m never alone!!! (now I have a guy best friend for realz…my guy Jesus!!!)
Iām good!! Things are hectic and, like I said to Min, the craziness of being a teenage girl is sometimes overwhelming, but Iām getting through it!! Iām so grateful to have such amazing friends like yāall and aĀ wonderful supportive family, as well as a Father in heaven who loves each of us. š„°
I havenāt had time to write much, but hopefully I will soon XD Iāll keep yāall updated!!
Aww yes I know…being a teenage girl can be sooooo hard and mentally draining!!! and yes PREACH sister!!! <3
I don’t think I’ve ever read abt your WIP before…so please do tag me if you ever post any of it!!!

GIRL, GIRL, GIRLLLLLLLL!!!! I’VE MISSED YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHššššš I’m SOOOOO happy to hear you’re doing well though!!!!
AND TYYYYYYYYYY. I’M sooooo EXCITED for the release of Freedom’s Fire š¤©š¤©š¤©
It’s been good. Busy, but good!! Had more time with extended family lately which has been a blast. Started an Instagram for all writing things and had a lot of fun with that, been doing a babysitting/first aid course, going to get my learner’s permit come August, getting braces at the end of this month, been beta reading the 2nd book of a fav author of mine, I’ve added about 20k words to Broken Shackles since June (coming to the end of itttttttš¤©š¤©š„³š„³ well, I’ll be adding and taking away once I get to the editing stage, but that’s how it goes XXD). So yeah! Busy busy!!!
and yessssssss, Aragorn is my fav. XXD Followed by Faramir. And it was sooo much fun and so cool that I and @mineralizedwritings ended up doing it at the same timeššš We didn’t plan on that btw, it just happenedš
And I’m looking forward to the upcoming school year. Doing my first homeschool co-op and planning on doing performing arts which I’m really looking forward to. Kinda looking forward to everything tbh!!! (with the exception of Algebra 2 and American Literatureš)

July 24, 2024 at 7:46 pm #183668Aww tysm!! Hahaha yes, slowly getting thereš“
Oh my goodness Iām so sorry girl š„ŗ That sounds so scary!! Iām always here if you ever need anything. My grandparents yesterday were actually just talking about when my uncle had Lyme disease when he was a teenager and the doctors gave him an antibiotic that cured him.
Thank you, yeah it actually is really scary.
Keep me updated on how youāre doing!!! Do you think you were bitten by a tick?
I will thanks! We have no idea, I’ve been sick since I was a baby. It’s been almost manageable for the past years, but there’s no way I could go to school and be healthy with it. I’ve been to countless doctor’s before (Some believed me and couldn’t help me, others thought I was making it up) but none of them could really help. The doctor I’m working with now is used to dealing with the illnesses traditional healthcare isn’t well trained to recognize, so yeah.
*sending tons of virtual hugs*
Thank you! I need those virtual hugs more than you know < 3
Praying for you, girl ā¤ You will get through this, I promise.
Oh my goodness thatās awesome girl!!! *big hug* You totally deserve it, youāre amazing at every kind of art there is!! Digital art is so cool and I know youāre gonna do great things with it.
XD thanks girl
Iād love to see some of your artwork whenever you share some!! And yeaaah I completely get that. Timing is so hard to figure out, especially when youāre a perfectionist. Thatās one reason I canāt ever find time to draw, because I take like 5 hours trying to fix one feature of a face or smh š I would love to draw and create comics thoughš
Yeah I’m pretty sure I’ve posted some in the art forum, I’ll start tagging you again for it! XD yeah, perfectionism is our greatest enemy.
And oh my gosh yess!!! Iāve actually already read LOTR and I agree, itās amazing!!!!! I definitely need to read it again soon. Who was your favorite character? I think I can already tell whoāsĀ @freed_and_redeemedĀ was, judging by her pfp šš¤
That’s such a hard question!!
Oh also, I must brag here that as soon as I knew Freedom was reading it I knew her fav was going to be Aragorn XD
Well, I love tragic stories, so I really resonate with Boromir. I like both Boromir and Farimir, but I like Borimir because I get this sense that he was just trying so hard in life, but was becoming so lost, and it led to his death. I wish we could have known him a little better before he died. What is your favorite?
Iām doing good!! Trying to figure out all the emotions and craziness of being a teenager, but ultimately, Iām doing well :)) Iāve been able to grow closer to my family lately and Iām so grateful for that, because about a month ago things werenāt doing so hot š
XD yeah being a teenager is craaaazy sometimes. That’s super great. Family is really important, and I’m really happy for you with that.
I am still really enjoying summer, and yes even though school starting back is always that ominous deadline around the corner, Iām not dreading it too much! Well, except maybe math š I love fall and the seasons that come with school starting, so thatās probably one reason why. And Iām homeschooled, so school really isnāt a chore for me (again, except for math) and I get to spend time with my family and I love that <33
Ok math is just different. I used to like math but Algebra two was just blech. Yes! Fall is so lovely, and is it not like the most aesthetic season there is? Idk why, but I find the whole cycle of the leaves dyeing and falling, then regrowing in spring to be like… somehow poetic? And very beautiful.
I havenāt written in who knows how long though, but maybe when school starts back Iāll get some motivationš
XD well tag me when you do.

I’m excited to see some of your stuff, so tag me if you post anything!

#AnduthForever (hopefully š)July 26, 2024 at 1:03 pm #183826I love Anakin, as Darth Vader or not, he’s the best Star Wars character of all time, followed closely by all the clones.
"You need French Toast."
#AnduthForever (hopefully š)July 26, 2024 at 1:49 pm #183828@rae ppffffft that’s funny
IKR Anakin is awesome.
Who’s your favorite clone? The Bad Batch all jointly hold my top spot lol
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
July 26, 2024 at 1:52 pm #183829*squeals* So good to seeāer, hear?āum, talk? to you again!!! š
Oh yes, I understand the busyness. Our summer has also been purty busy. š¬ But itās been so good. I have a summer job and between the times Iām working I was able to babysit for our old youth pastorās son. š
Our church also had VBS a few weeks ago and I was the counselor for the kindergarteners! They wereā¦. kind of dramatic and very energetic, but they were so much fun! It was cool to see how the Bible stories provoked questions from the kiddos and how they loved singing and dancing to the songs since most, if not all, of the kids I was working with were unchurched. <3
Volleyball is pretty much in full swing now, at least practice-wise. Our first game is in less than a month!! š± But Iām literally so excited. I made varsity(!!!!!!!) and our team dynamics are looking really good already. Weāre working on some technical stuff on the court, but I think weāll be a really strong team this year. š
Youth camp sounds like so much fun!! Iāve made some great memories at church camp! š Glad you had a good time!!
Writing wise I was able to finish the first draft of my summer project this month!! From that project I think Iāve discovered that YA contemporary fiction is my niche genre! After discovering that, my mindās been churning with lots of new ideas. I really want to bring strong fiction thatās full of hope and truth, shining light into the darkness, but is also enjoyable to read. Thereās a lot of junk in the YA and contemporary genre and I really want to give our generation stories that point them to hope and truth without being cheesy or preachy. āØ
Besides camp, how are you?? How has your summer been? š
Write what should not be forgotten. ā Isabel Allende
July 26, 2024 at 2:15 pm #183835Idk…I’ve always been fond of Rex, but my top clone rotates between Heavy, the Bad Batch, Fives, Cody, and Commander Wolff mostly.
Hold on a minute…does Anakin even know what ‘cheese’ is? If someone actually asked him to say cheese would he know what that meant? Or would it be more like *very visible confusion*
"You need French Toast."
#AnduthForever (hopefully š)July 26, 2024 at 3:28 pm #183838@rae I have no idea. I would assume cheese exists in the Star Wars universe but they don’t use it as an expression
also, great choices lol.
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
July 26, 2024 at 9:47 pm #183868Awww I’ve missed you too girl!! <33 How’s your art going? š
Iāve been ok. Alive and, well, just living lol. Slowly progressing on everything. My sister and I may be auditioning for our first play next week though! Weāre really excited for that, even though weāre just hoping to be in the ensembleā¦ nothing too major lol. also, my brain decided to quit on me. š
I completely understand that girl!. *extra big hug* Oh my goodness, that’s so exciting!! Are you doing it for your school or something else? (can’t remember if you’re homeschooled or not š) I’ll be praying for you and your sister!! Y’all will do great. oh noooo I hate it when my brain quits on me, especially when I need it most hahaha šš *big hug*
You too girl!!! šš Love youu!!
Actually, itās much cooler than that! Itās the type you use for competitive sports. Some colleges do it, but I believe itās mainly up here in New England.

Oh my gosh girl!!! That is sooooo cool!!! I literally love that so much. You’ll have to keep me updated on how it goes!!
Btw have you seen The Boys In The Boat? You talking about your competitive rowing reminded me of it. It’s about the story of the University of Washington’s rowing team and their journey to try and make it intoĀ the 1936 Olympics. It’s amazing, I saw it in the theaters with my family this past December and it’s for free on Prime Video now!
