Thanks! That’s helpful to consider!

@keilah-h

That’s pretty cool! I haven’t read a lot of mythology, or books with fake religions, but having a base for the mythology out of “real” history makes sense. In fact, something like that might help solve a few issues of my own, like why this other country has such a mixed up system of government and religion.

*Gazes off into the abyss*

@trailblazer

I have a couple ideas that might not work with your story and charries, but I’ll pitch them anyways

Since Ellie has good discernment, I’m not sure how much her emotions would run her, but many times woman, especially woman with strong emotions towards something (like the subject of trafficking), are easily overcome by their…[Read more]

Lol, yeah, I guess that did become a small trend. That and memeing me about my art

And the signature is from How to Train Your Dragon (the episodes)

Oh, okay.

@savannah_grace2009

May I ask what is going on with your username and forum signature?

@liberty

I won’t be participating

@the_lost-journal

My family also doesn’t have a specific denomination—we believe and follow the Bible, and I think the church we usually attend is non-denominational.

@savannah_grace2009 @theducktator

LOL guys, I literally just took a picture of this yesterday because I was at church and found one!! XD

@savannah_grace2009

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. 🙂

@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.

@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]

@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]

@savannah_grace2009

I also understand about it feeling casual…but then again I’m also the person who will talk to Jesus about anything and everything and see Him as my best friend…like if I’m blasting rap music I picture Jesus in the car with me in the passenger’s seat jamming out with me XDXD

Girl literally… that’s so relatable! Sometimes i…[Read more]

@stephie

No I totally see what you mean. I don’t know if it’s the same way in Canada, but here in the States the same thing is being taught in the schools, only it’s an issue of whites and African Americans. They’re trying to say whites are inherently racist against other nationalities (mainly stemming from the issue of slavery). While I do think…[Read more]
