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!

Lessons From Environmental Issues: State Shift

I've been taking this Bio class called environmental issues, and to put it lightly, there's not a whole lot that I like about it. However I found something useful this week, maybe something that touched me more than it should have. There are different types of changes in the environment. For example: Resilience :  is the ability for the environment to bounce back after something drastic happens. Like a tornado, or a hurricane. Let's put this into people's lives, this is like a break up, or the ending of a friendship. It hurts, it even devastates you but give it time, all things will go back to it's natural state. However long that takes, it will heal. You will heal. Then.. There's a change called a state shift . This is uncommon in the environment, because of it's tragic and lasting effects. A state shift means no matter how hard the environment tries, it will never be how it was before, it's changed and can't be reversed. Now let's ...

Of Life and Living

I don't pretend to know a whole ton, maybe because I don't. However there are times in our lives, check points if you will, that give us a chance to look back reflect and see where we are going. I so value times like that. Times like today. Why did I check point today? I did it because 21 years ago I was born. Weird right? I don't feel like I'm 21, but whatever. So I was trying to think up things that I may have learned or changed in these years of life, and after much pondering I could only think up a few. So here they are. Knowledge according to Shay. 1) Tough times NEVER last. I know they feel like they will, and I feel like they will, but they don't. They simply can't. So bite down, hold on, and bear the wind, because it will end. 2) Challenges make us stronger. Just like muscles, sometimes we must be torn in order to grow. Challenges work the same way. 3) Life is good. As good as you want it to be. Either you can go through life complaining, wis...

A Few Sunny Days

What can I say? Not very much. All I know, is every once in a while when I find myself down, bummed, or even pissed, that no matter what I have the best friends that back me up. Help me stand, and teach me to fight again. I don't give them enough credit for all they go through with me. Whether it be listening to me vent, dealing with my heartless-ness, having me bark outside their window. Pretending to be a clingy girl friend, or just putting up with the daily smart ass comments I make. They are always there. This last weekend I had so many glorious times, and it's even better because it's lovely fall weather out there. So here are my friends. Desirae. Man, this girl has been with me since the beginning. Even though she's married now, she still takes time to be wonderful to me. ( we took a TON of pictures this weekend. ) Then there's Amanda. She's just grand. She hasn't been in my life for the longest, but man has she made a difference for me...
