CHANGE

Change. Change can be so beautiful, but very difficult. The past six months, I started my journey to find my birth family. Not only did I find both my mother and father. I found many other family members. When I found my parents it was extremely exciting, but honestly, it brought up so many different […]

WHAT IF IM NEVER FOUND

Throughout my entire life I have wondered about my birth family. I have always gravitated towards my birth mom. I long to know who this woman is, the woman that gave me life. I want to know every little detail about her. I wonder if I ever cross her mind. I wonder if she had […]

HIS CHILDREN

In the busyness of life, I find it easy to feel as though I am losing myself. Although I am doing things I enjoy, such as hanging out with my best friend or working, which is really all I’ve done this summer, I still feel incredibly lost. I have all these distractions around me constantly. If […]

WHAT LONELINESS DRIVES US TO DO

Loneliness is usually described as the feeling when you are alone, but truth is, you can be in a crowd full of people and still feel alone. That’s what weird about loneliness. Personally, when I felt the most alone is when I had a boyfriend and a lot of friends. Why is that? How can […]

ABORTION

I started writing this post last week. I was gonna give answers to everyone’s reasons why people should get abortions. Then I realized, I don’t have all the answers, but I know why I believe what I believe. Abortion is murder. Yes, a “fetus” is just a clump of cells, but so are full grown […]

LOSING YOURSELF IN PURSUIT OF CHRIST

I have really struggled more recently with feeling like I’m losing myself. The biggest reason i’ve felt this way is because I lost my 99% of my friends. I tend to find my identity in how many friends I have, how good of a friend I am, and how many people “need” me in their […]

MY “PERFECT” LIFE

About 9 months ago, I would like to think I had the perfect teenage life. I went where I wanted. I snuck out and partied with my friends. I got invited to everything. I had a boyfriend who I loved and he loved me. I had a perfect family. It was weird to me how […]

WHAT IS MY TATTOO?

For those of you who don’t know, I recently got my first tattoo. It is right under my ankle. Despite being in the most excruciating pain I’ve ever been in, I am absolutely in love with it. Lots of people have asked what it means. It is a heart and a triangle. It represents the […]

TO MY BIRTH MOM

I miss you. It’s crazy how I can miss someone I’ve never met. At times, I feel like I need you. I think about you all the time. I often question, “Why did you do this to me?” How could you give me up? How could you trust strangers to raise me? Why didn’t you […]

LOVING YOUR BIRTHPARENTS

Loving our birthparents can be so hard. I do not really know anything about my birthparents, so I will not be talking about if you do because that’s just not my story. One thing I do know is that my birth mom was in and out of the hospital. Throughout my life, I’ve struggled with […]
