Insecurities ARE Real


Insecurities can take over your life. Every time you look in the mirror you don’t like what you 
see, so you cover up the things about you that make you unique and stand out. Everyone. Has insecurities, it’s a completely normal thing. Some people just feel worse about them than others. I have learned to show off what makes me uncomfortable about myself and in the long-run, it’s made me much more confident. It all begins and ends in your mind. 



If you can find something about yourself that makes you cringe, that’s where it starts. Don’t give your brain the power to destroy and tear down its own body. You owe yourself the love that you give so freely to other people. So, girl, take a bath, shave those legs, eat some cream and tell yourself how beautiful you are. 
                                                                                                                                                           

To heal a wound, you have to stop touching it.

    I love this. As someone who struggles with mental health and her mental health journey every day, it's very inspiring to hear these words. Sometimes I forget about my worth and it's good to be reminded to think positively about myself.

Missing Loved Ones Pt. 1

There are two people I miss most in the world. My Grammy and my Papa, my Grammy passed when I was 17 and my Papa passed when I was 15. In this Blog I will be talking about my Papa and in the part two, I will talk about my Grammy.             Ever since I was a baby, my Papa and I had a very special bond. He gave me the most special nickname I could ask for. He only ever called me “Gypsy” and there is a very funny reason why. When my mom and dad announced that my name was going to be Madylin, my Papa told them that he didn’t like it and that it was a gypsy name which is where the nickname started. For 15, my papa never called me Madylin or Mady, only Gypsy.              My Papa and I had many inside jokes, but my favorite was our sign language. For example, if you ever saw us in a public setting put our arms straight up in the air, with palms facing in, i...

It's Getting Warm

  In Michigan, I feel as though we are the last to get the warm weather. My friends from Ohio that I’ve made at school have been posting the 70-degree weather they are enjoying while I am inside in the warm because its 40 degrees outside. Well, lucky for me and my fellow Michiganders, it’s beginning to warm up here. All last week into the begging of this week, I’ve been spending my quarantine days at my neighbors (Madison) hot tub hanging out. She’s a senior in high school this year so she’s enjoys the company during this hard time.   As we’ve been hanging out in the, what we think, is hot weather (AKA 50 degrees) we have been trying different tropical drinks and snacks to really make us feel like were in the midst of summertime in *southern* Michigan.    I’m going to share our two favorite things we’ve tried so far.  Coconut smoothie – coconut milk, coconut, frozen: banana and pineapple, honey, and cinnamon Sunshine smoothie- vanilla almond ...

The Last Hoorah

Since ONU closed for the corona virus, my friends and I decided to go out all day Friday and hangout. There was a darty (day party) off campus and we thought it’d be fun to go play some cornhole, throw around a football and eat some good food. The party was St. Paddy’s themed because of the date being too close to St. Patrick’s Day, we got together to make/crop shirts and get ready for the party. It was a lot of fun and I’m glad I did it. Today we received news that ONU will be shutting down for the rest of the year, luckily, I got a good last memory in, my friends and I all hanging put from 2pm to 2am and making the best last memory I could ask for my freshman year.
