Christmas Time: It's almost here

There is only 6 days until Christmas. Time is closing in, with only this many days left. What are you hoping is underneath your Christmas tree? Leave your Comments Below.

 

For the Love of Taylor Swift.

I wrote this to defend my music hero, Taylor Swift. She has been getting a lot of hate recently and I took things into my perspective and hers to defend her music and everything she stands for. I love her & nothing will ever change that. Let me know what you think...

“No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs, because I think love is fearless.” These words inspire me everyday. They were spoken by my favorite female in the celebrity universe, Taylor Swift.  She is all about believing in love, being fearless, believing in a happy ending, and even sometimes remembering the bad break ups and the horrible experiences you have had with people in your life. Her music is inspiring and relatable, she loves her fans, and she is one of the few female celebrities that actually have not gotten arrested nor done something stupid to get into trouble. There is one thing that gets her plenty of hate though, her constant songs that have the theme of love, heartbreak, and more love. Who cares if she sings songs about love? She speaks for every teenage girl that needs to find their voice, which is how I see it. All her songs speak to me and I have experienced them and it is reality. I listen to her songs and I do not feel sad anymore. Taylor has this way of lifting people up; she does everything for her fans. She wants us all to have that happy ending. She wants us to be fearless, and because of her I believe in happily ever after.  I love her. I will always stand by her.

Thanksgiving: What am I thankful for?

When you think of Thanksgiving, what are you thankful for? It is sometimes very hard to think of all the things that I am blessed with, when I am blessed with so much. I have a family, a roof over my head, a God that loves me, and wonderful friends that I have continued to grow closer with over the years. I always give my gratitude to god for blessing me with my singing voice and allowing me to have that talent to share with people. Some people do not have even half of what I have. This year when I sit around the table with my family, I will bow my head and pray for those that are less fortunate then me. I will pray for the poor, the homeless, the abused, the people that are way less fortunate than I am. They would love to be in my position. I think it is crazy that some people are not thankful for all they have and take everything for granted. I live each day like it is a blessing and I think that everyone else should. All people want is money and more useless stuff that will not be there for them in the long run. They neglect their family, friends, and their God. Those are the three things that will always be there for them. I will never take those things for granted. In the words of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, “You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.” Taking Charles’s advice I will be content this Thanksgiving with all the things that I have been blessed with. I will be thankful for the family and friends that have been with me through everything, including the God above that will love me no matter what, through everything. Now, when people ask me what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, I know exactly what I am going to say.

My Inspiraton: Taylor Swift

I decided to dedicate this post to Taylor Swift. She is my biggest inspiration for wanting to be a singer and she always will be. She has amazing talent and her music really speaks to me. She always gives back to her fans. Her voice and the way she acts on stage is something I study and watch, because I want to be just like her. She was never the popular girl in her hometown of Reading, PA, but she grew up and proved everyone wrong by becoming an inspiration. She is all about being herself, which is exactly how I want to be if my dream of being a professional singer, becomes a reality. I live by her advice, “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” That's not the only inspiring thing she has said in her time as a celebrity. She speaks for every girl out there through her music. It is like she watches my life and then writes a song about it. Everything she speaks is something that almost every girl on Earth has dealt with. She is real, raw, and down to earth. That is why she is so inspiring to me. I could go on and on about her. I have all her albums, every DVD of her, and will continue to be a fan for a long time to come. She is beautiful and inspiring. She teaches girls that there is better things in life than "dating the boy on the football team". She even wrote a song "Ronan" which is based on Ronan Thomson, who died from cancer at only four years old. She collaborated with his mom and wrote a beautiful song. She is an inspiration and will continue to be for many years. I will love her and support her, Forever and Always <3

"White Horse" Cover (Originally by Taylor Swift)

I decided to do a song about heart break in honor of my original song, Numb. Here is a new cover for everyone. I would love to hear your feedback and comments and maybe suggest a song you would like me to cover next. The song I chose to cover this time is "White Horse" by Taylor Swift. I love her dearly and her songs speak to lots of girls. I hope you enjoy my rendition of "White Horse". Thank you for your support. 

Original Song: Numb

Let me know what you think of my new original song, Numb. I wrote this for every girl who knows the pain of heart break. That feeling of despair and pain. Be sure to comment. Thank you for your support.

Verse 1: I gave up on myself, the day that I saw your eyes so full of hate. I gave up on myself when you walked away and left me broken. You can break hearts like you have know feelings at all... and I'm convinced that you don't.

Chorus: Oh it was so easy for you to walk away. You left me standing there in the pouring rain. Begging for someone to take my pain away.  My  mascara was running down my face, but by that time I couldn't feel a thing anyway. You left me numb.

Verse 2: When I finally made it home... I fell down on my knees and I cried. For the next few weeks, I couldn't get the memory.. out of my head, it's like it's tattooed in the back of my mind. As I sit here, thinking of you all I remember is..

Chorus 2: How easy it was for you to walk away. You left me standing there in the pouring rain. Begging for someone to take my pain away.  My  mascara was running down my face, but by that time I couldn't feel a thing anyway. Ooh. You left me numb.

Bridge: Today, I'm going strong. As of now, I think I'm done... with guys and the lies that they bring about. I don't wanna lose myself again.. especially for some boy like you..

Final Chorus: Who finds it so easy to walk away. Leave girls standing in the pouring rain. Begging for someone to take their pain away. Their mascara running down their face, but by that time they won't feel a thing anyway. They'll be numb. 

End: Next time you go to break a heart, think about the life of pain.. you'll start.

Inpsiriational Song: Outside Looking In

The inspiring song I chose to make a blog entry about today is by Jordan Pruitt. It is called “Outside Looking In” and I think the message prove clears that this song was written by Jordan about the struggles of fitting in. It has the inspiring message that more teenagers today should listen to. You do not need to judge someone before you get to know them. It is crazy the number of teenagers today that judge someone by their appearance and do not get to know the inside of a person. Jordan said writing the song came naturally, because she had experienced being left out in school. I chose this as an inspirational song to sing, because I want my music to have an inspiring and positive message. This is my first ever time posting a video for everyone to see and I hope that people enjoy it. I want to share my passion for singing with the world and I feel like this is my first step to being closer to my goal. If you get anything out of me covering this song, let it be that before you judge someone; get to know them by their inner beauty. That is what counts and in the end you could have a friend that you never expected. Do not leave someone on the “Outside Looking In”.

The Girl Everyone Doubted.

 “To be someone’s inspiration is my biggest goal in life.” These were words spoken by the inspiration behind my first blog post, Demi Lovato. Demi Lovato is the one of the girls that I idolize in the music industry that keeps me inspired and makes me realize that I can be anything I want to be. Thanks to her, I have not given up on my dream to be a singer and she continues to inspire me everyday with how strong she is. At one point in her career last year, she became depressed and felt all of the pressure of the fame that she had gained. She cut herself, starved herself, and felt the pressure to fit into the image that Hollywood molds into the minds of every celebrity. She knew exactly what she needed to do in order to get back to the Demi that was always there on the inside. She stayed at the hospital for a few weeks, and once she was cleared, she went to rehab and is now back making music. She became an inspiration to me. I have seen her twice in concert and have watched her and picked up on things that I can use to help me. If I had the chance to meet her, I would tell her that her biggest goal in life was completed, because she is my inspiration and continues to inspire me everyday. “Never be ashamed of your problems, your body, yourself. You are worth life.” These words that Demi spoke are the reason I have grown more self confident. I hang on to every word she says. Ever since I first saw her and heard her sing, I have fallen in love with her personality and everything she is. If my passion for singing and making music allows me to meet her one day, or just by luck and chance it happens. I will tell her one thing, “I love you and thank you, Demi”. Everyone doubted her, because she had flaws. Her flaws make her real and I will always love her for exactly that.
