One of my favorite things about human beings is that we continually change. Not just as a species, but as individuals. I like seeing the people I know change and grow (sometimes) and I love watching it happen to myself.
I think one of the greatest things we have to offer ourselves is our adaptability. If there's something we don't like about ourselves, we can work on it and change it or eradicate it. If we see something we like in someone else, we can adopt it and make it our own.
I, myself, am notorious for taking other people's characteristics and making them my own. I got my blog name because I liked the way one of my high school classmates always said "oh my gracious." I started caring more about people because the two people I love and respect the most (my boyfriend and an adviser) are two of the most caring and kind- hearted people I know. I started dressing the way I do because I saw it on some of my favorite shows and I do my hair based off of people who did their hair the same way, and I liked it. I started blogging in the first place because Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City had a column in a newspaper and wrote all the time, and that's what I wanted to do. I mean, I didn't necessarily want to write a sex column for a New York City newspaper, but I wanted to write.
It's interesting, though. People seem to think that if you model yourself after what you see elsewhere, you're "fake". However, I don't think that's the case. I think that, sociologically, we all do it, but some people are more willing to admit it than others. There's actually this idea in sociology called "group mentality" or "herd mentality" that describes exactly what I'm talking about. It's the tendency we as human beings have to be influenced by our peers in the way we speak, act, and even how we decorate our homes!
But anyway. I think it's important that, as we grow and develop who we are going to be for the rest of our lives, we are open and receptive to new ideas, new styles, and new ways of living. There's no way to know what you're going to like or what you won't like until you've tried it.
Keep growing, kids. <3

Seth David Lord!
Hello readers! Sorry it's been so long, but I've been very busy with my first year of college and having a real job and what have you. But more about that later!
I have some very exciting news to share with all of you! My friend, Seth David Lord, has been working very hard on some FANTASTIC music. And now he's about to reach one of the most critical moments in any artist's career: his first music video!!
This is a very exciting step for him to be taking, and I couldn't be more proud. If there's one thing I can promise you about him, it's that he has worked EXTREMELY hard to get to where he is, and I know he hasn't taken anything for granted. And I mean, if we are being honest, the world needs more grateful artists.
The music video he's wanting to make is for his single "HoldOn". I had the honor of hearing this song and I was blown away. It has everything a great song should: meaningful lyrics, an awesome beat and it gets stuck in your head. (Seriously, I was singing it for a week after I heard it!)
We come to my point for this post, now. "Seth David Lord" isn't a household name. Yet. He doesn't have millions coming out the wazoo like Kanye and T- Swift. He's a guy you can relate to: a guy with a dream that he will do anything to see come to fruition. So, he's created a gofundme page, which I will leave a link for below. I'm not asking anyone to donate a lump sum of cash or to break the bank, but if you CAN donate, every little bit helps.
I can go on and on about how kick- ass his music is. (Because it is.) But the truth is, it's about SO MUCH more than that. Every song that that man has worked on, I've found some part of it I could relate to. He's relatable and so is his music, and I think that's really important. All I can do is promise you that if you help him make his dream come true, you won't regret it. His music is honestly a gift in the sense that it makes people happy. Help spread that happiness out into the world!
