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!

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...

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 ...

6 Things I Learned from Dating the Wrong Person

Sometimes we get it wrong. We simply get it wrong. On occasion it's because we are too stubborn to admit we are wrong, other  times its because we just didn't know. But just because we got it wrong doesn't mean we have to stay in pain for the rest of our young lives. It doesn't mean our hearts will be shattered forever. You know that saying, the one everyone says when you break up? It goes a little like this, 'At least you learned something.... right? ' Gosh. Doesn't that phrase piss you off? Yes, it bothers me as well. It takes time, TONS of time before a glimmer can even happen. After dating a man for almost two years, and being alone for the past year, I have decided to try what they all say, and figure out what I learned. Here are the ramblings of a stressed out college girl piecing her life together. Lesson 1: Not all the time is it a 'me' problem.  A relationship takes two willing adults to make it function. No matter how hard you try,...
