Worst Argument

The worst argument I've probably ever had was with my dad. My mom and dad separated when I was about 5 years old. It's hard for me to go back and forth between them and to constantly have them force me to pick a side. One day my dad came to my house unannounced and I had a hissy fit. I was screaming at everyone because I finally let my feelings out. My dad told me that day that he was thinking about moving to Michigan. I couldn't comprehend why he was even thinking about moving anywhere. I told him that he was selfish and was just running away from his responsibilities. We ended up forgiving each other after we talked more and understood each other's perspectives. This taught me that I shouldn't be keeping my feelings bottled up inside. I have to talk about them every once in a while, especially when I don't think something's right.

Fake It Until You Make It

What I'm very confident about us being myself around other people. I can be myself without caring about anyone else thinks and I'm very proud of myself for this. What I think I need a confidence boost in is probably my academics. I know that I can be better than how I am but, it scares me sometimes to find out if I'm afraid that if I'm wrong about myself being better than I'd totally give up on myself. So from now on, I'm going to fake it until I make it. I will constantly tell myself that I am better than what I think I am. I will tell myself that I can do better until I do.

San Kulpa for the New Year

 I have many intentions for myself for 2017. My first intention is, to gain myself more respect and have respect for more people. I want to become more polite and be nice for the New Year. I know this might sound as if I'm constantly mean, it's just that at times I can be snarky and sarcastic. I want to change those ways. My other intention for the New Year is to learn more and to succeed in whatever high school I end up going to. I want to be able to have a successful life and I want to be happy and in order to do that I have to do these first.

Favorite Quote

My favorite quote is, "It's okay to be a glow stick. Sometimes we have to break before we shine." I really like this quote because I know that through out my life I've had many ups and downs and I've never really understood why everything bad had to happen to me. Once I read this quote I finally understood that everything happens for a reason. It's a symbol of showing that a rainbow comes after a storm; you always get something good out of a bad situation. I also really like this quote because I feel like it can give hope. It can tell you that it's okay to not be okay, which is what I've learned because of this quote. Because of this quote, I have hope.

What's in a name?

My name is Emily Angelique. Emily is a Latin baby name with the meaning of industrious and striving. Angelique comes from the French origin that mostly means angelic. My last name translated into English is "Kings" which usually means "royal or royalty". Also the year I was born the most popular girl name was Emily! I also know that since my mom was little she was always in love with the name Emily and would name all her dolls that. She says that the first time she saw me she knew that I'd do great at being an Emily.

     I'm thankful for many things. I'm very thankful for having such a loving family. I'm very thankful for my family because I know that they will always support me and help me when I need it the most. I'm also very thankful for my friends.

I'm also very thankful to have such a great little sister who I know will always pick me up when I'm down. I'm also very thankful for people believing in me even when I don't myself. I'm thankful for the people who care for me and hope the best for me.

Blogging Tips

     Blogging can be pretty difficult and confusing at times, but it's also pretty easy. I've always had a hard time with my punctuation/grammar and reading/commenting on other peoples blogs. It's not that I can't do these things it's just that I'm constantly overthinking everything.

    The reason why I'm not so good with my grammar/punctuation is because I am always overusing commas. I've been told this before and I've recently realized that they were right (I know, crazy right?) I used to be very good with my grammar and still think I am, but sometimes I feel like I forgot everything I learned and don't know what to do. I once forgot how to spell "of" because my mind was somewhere else. (Believe me I'm not as dumb as I sound)  I don't know why or how but I also get my words jumbled sometimes. The sentence seems right, but then I say it out loud and it sounds like complete gibberish. To overcome these struggles I'm just going to practice more with my grammar and punctuation. I will do whatever it takes to be better.

     The reason why I'm not good with reading/commenting on others blogs is because I get distracted very easily. Most of the time, I reread the same paragraph three times because I didn't know what I just read the other two times. My mind goes somewhere else. Also with commenting, I bet self-conscious. I don't want to sound like a doof and piggy back off of another comment while I say "Good Job" I want my comment to mean something which then gets me overthinking about everything I'm going to say. I will overcome these struggles by focusing more while I'm reading and try to take in what they're saying. For commenting, I'm going to just try my best and write a meaningful comment without making a fool out of myself.
