freedom

Same… that’s why I don’t do makeup. (No judgment against any girls who do wear makeup, I know everyone has different reasons) But for me, I just don’t feel like taking the time, and it feels like I’m trying to be someone I’m not. For nice occasions I will put on a little bit of makeup, but for everyday life it’s too much work lol.

@trailblazer

Absolutely welcome! I may have to struggle to finish something, but characters and random ideas are my cup of tea. 🙂

@trailblazer

I haven’t tried to tan either…mostly because I want to learn to be okay with how I look normally, and love myself the way God created me.

I don’t want to follow trends just because the world says I’m not enough…I want to learn to be okay with being different the way God made me.

@elishavet-pidyon

Thanks! That was really helpful to get the wheels turning in my head!

@raxforge thanks!

@rae my characters aren’t super well fleshed out yet either but I’ll give it a go with what I have

Ellie (16)- She has a compassionate heart and is deeply moved by the issue of human trafficking. Also has a good sense of discernment. (It’s her older sister who was kidnapped as a young child, but I haven’t decided if I want her…[Read more]

Has anyone noticed how the beauty standard now is like “you have to be tan and have darker skin or else you’re not pretty enough”?

Hmm I hadn’t thought about it, but you’re right. I’ve never really tried to deliberately tan, but now that you say it, yeah it is kind of a stigma.

@keilah-h

Well, I guess we’ll see! You never knew where inspiration may come from!

I use Reedsy, I’d highly recommend. It’s completely free and very easy to organize random ideas, all in one place!

It’s changed my writing journey, and it’s made my life SO. MUCH. EASIER!!!!

Idk, I just think of random ideas for my world, and then write it down. I don’t go too much in depth, but I do enjoy creating fantasy maps and things…I…[Read more]

Do you ever hide random mini Jesuses places? I have a couple, and one I just found someplace. XD

I do!!! that’s why I bought them…I hid a bunch at church and at school!!! My school isn’t a Christian school so I thought it would be cool to hide them to bring attention to Jesus and be a light!!!!!! I also keep a bunch for myself and…[Read more]

@trailblazer @stephie

This is random, but I’ve been eavesdropping on your conversation…

Has anyone noticed how the beauty standard now is like “you have to be tan and have darker skin or else you’re not pretty enough”?

It really bugs me how girls now are using self tan or judging other girls who are “pale”. Honestly I’m sick and tired of…[Read more]

@savannah_grace2009

Every time I leave my house and I’m driving, I pray out loud that I drive safe and Jesus uses me to be a light wherever I’m going! like every time I’m like “Jesus, it would be really nice if I didn’t go off the road today…” lol!!!

Haha didn’t see this until after I made my last post lol.

@savannah_grace2009

I wish Jesus could just drive for me though… *cries* Sometimes when I get nervous I picture angels watching over me and surrounding my car, and Jesus with me, guiding my hands on the wheel, and it helps me so much!

Yeah it’d be so nice if He could literally just take the wheel sometimes lol. Not saying He couldn’t… I w…[Read more]

@trailblazer

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes if I’m driving alone I’ll talk to Him aloud and picture Him sitting there. I probably look like I’m crazy but He is always with us, so why would He not be in the car with me?

YESSSSS

Every time I leave my house and I’m driving, I pray out loud that I drive safe and Jesus uses me to be…[Read more]

@liberty that sounds cool!

@liberty Weird how it’s saying it didn’t tag me. I got the notification on the first tag.

I might do this story, but I might not, cause it’s kinda hard for me to get an idea fast, especially for such an abstract concept.

Also….I mean…if you read the one I posted for the “story of a scar” challenge, you’ll see how bad I am at making short…[Read more]

@stephie

One last thing: what they’re teaching sounds like critical race theory.

Yup, it is! And it’s in all the schools and curriculums and kids are believing it! Being homeschooled up until my senior year, I had never had to deal with racism, and I never thought I would, being taught that we live in America, in a land where there is equality f…[Read more]

@theducktator

To clarify, I meant incorrect, not morally wrong.

OHHH okay that makes way more sense!!!!!! I totally see your point!!

I do talk to God somewhat casually, but I also call him God and say amen. XD So I get what you’re saying about how He wants to be involved with our lives, and I have been taught that. I’ve also been taught that He…
