Details

Contrary to popular belief, I am in fact quite alive.
and, better than I've been in a very long time.

I've spent the last 2 months on an emotional roller coaster. You may ask... Why would someone willingly stay on that for that long?
Well because I'm slightly crazy. haha just kidding. But in all reality because I was trying to find out who I am and what I want. Apparently that's what grown ups do, or so I'm told.

I found myself stressing over everything! And I mean EVERYTHING. I kind of became an emotional wreck myself.

Guess what I discovered?

Nope, not myself, and not magically what I'm supposed to do, and nope I didn't solve all my problems.

Now the next question might come up.

So you did this all to yourself and you didn't even find out who you were or anything? You must be crazy Shay!


Maybe, but here are some gems that I discovered


  1. I have a LOVING and SUPPORTING family. Who support and uplift me no matter what I'm doing. 
  2. Life isn't meant to be figured out all at once. It's not possible to do so, trust me I just tried. 
  3. I'm a human, I make mistakes, and sometimes I have 'Shay Moments' Where it's perfectly fine to break down, run away, and hide at your grandparents house. However, that being sad you eventually have to face the storm. Gather your courage to do so, and keep that smile on your face.
  4. Being an adult is WAY harder than anyone lets on.
  5. I needed to change my priorities, (Which I'm adjusting every day) 
  6. Goals and there to guide me to what I want 
  7. And I have a Father in Heaven who, no matter how far I've chosen to walk on my own, loves me and manages to perform miracles in my life.

  9. But mostly, I realized, I don't need to worry about every little detail, for that takes all the fun out of life. It takes too much energy, and it doesn't help in the end. 

So to all those adults, or teenagers who are becoming adults. 
Love yourself for who you are, and figure out a goal as to where you need to be!
All the other little things are just details. Be a good person, and make a difference in this world for the better. Try a little harder every day and you can't fail!

Thank you for all those who were patient in waiting for me to deal with life to write!
And I'm sorry for the scare I gave people who thought I died.. I really just chose to be a hermit for a while!

Summing it Up Through Songs

As always I like to sum up the year, month by month.. however that post comes the first day of January. Look for it.  Today, I will sum up the biggest part of my 2013 year through music lyrics of songs that I feel have touched me, inspired me, or reminded me.  Enjoy.  I heard the doctor, but what did he say, I knew I was fine about this time yesterday.- Ben Rector, When a Heart Breaks.  If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone, Carry on. - FUN, Carry On. It's time to defy gravity- Wicked, Defying Gravity  It's the way you do the things you do that make me fall in love with you- Rocket to the Moon, Dakota  It's okay not to be okay, sometimes it's hard to follow your heart. Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, just be true to who you are- Jessie J, Who you are. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, what doesn't kill you makes you a fighter- Kelly Clarkson, Stronger You can't carry i...

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Smashed Windows

10 days ago I was changing locations on my travels through Utah. I packed up my mini cooper with my workout bag (this included 3 pairs of shoes, headphones, 5 pairs of yoga pants, 3 sports bras, 7 tank tops, my shower stuff, and deodorant) then I loaded up my 2 long boards, one being a Land Yatchz and the other my sector 9, finally I put my  Cannon camera bag, (It had my 7D a 50mm 1.4 lens, and a 35-118 1.8 lens in it. Along with a charger 4 batters, camera strap, and all my business cards). I thought to myself, I'm going to run across the street, grab a coffee then load my final bag into my car and take off to Roy. So that's what I did, however when I returned from across the street to my utter horror my window had been smashed, and everything from my car was gone. After I called the cops, and some friends to come and help I turned into a catatonic mess. I literally stood by my window and stared at my car for hours. Finally I decided I looked like a psychopath and therefore ...
