taking risks and facing fears!
It's the start of a new semester and I'm feeling good! This past finals week was the best finals week I've ever had, my half birthday last week was so much fun, and we're in the midst of a literal 6 day weekend. God is so good.
I've been thinking and thinking about what I want to dive into in my next blog post for quite some time now, but I've come to the conclusion that who cares!? I mean, I do, but the whole point of this blog is to share my thoughts and hopefully help my readers out in some way. So, I'm aiming to write more frequently, more candidly, and more spontaneously on here in 2019.
For my 16th birthday, a ton of my favorite gals and I dressed up in our best Mamma Mia outfits, ate dinner at my favorite place, saw the new Mamma Mia movie, sang ABBA karaoke, and ate lots and lots of Chocolate Chocolate Cafe Latte Cake. (eeee I miss it already!!) And, even though I knew that it would be such a fun night, I could've never suspected what I would take away from it and into my 16th year.
If you're familiar with Mamma Mia 1 and 2, you know Donna is so. much. fun. She travels the world, meets amazing guys, is a superb friend and mother, but my favorite of all: she goes for what she wants. She's the epitome of fearless. After watching the movie, I decided that I was going to try my absolute hardest to become that way more and more when I was 16. The year of going for what I want. This is much harder said than done, but I really have felt myself becoming more fearless and taking more risks this year. Saying goodbye to where I grew up and starting over in a new town has been one of the scariest and happiest things of my life. I now really know what people mean when they say the best things in life don't come easy.
As I work on this more and more every day, I want to encourage you to do the same.
Is there something you really want to do but are too scared to? This is my encouragement and motivation for you to go do it, because even if you don't feel like it right now, I know you can. God is on your side, and quite frankly, so am I! Take the risk. Apply for the job, wear the outfit you've always wanted to, say goodbye to someone who's hurting you, say hello to someone new in your class. Text the boy, book the ticket, cut your hair, write the book, tell someone you love them.

Go be fearless.
There's nothing better than a fear conquered.
