Diamonds, Pearls and Problems

Hey ya'll. I firstly want to apologize for this INSANELY late post, life has been...SUPER busy, and SUPER dramatic to say the least. A lot has happened since the last time I was on here. So, where to start? weeelll, my life has been nothing short of complicated. I started this incredible new life here at KU, and am loving it here, though homework load is slowly crushing my every inch of sanity. Oh, yeah I broke up with my ( ex) boyfriend of two and a half years, guess that's recent. Why did I do this, you ask? I had known for a long time that we were not meant to be together, maybe for a short time, but I knew we were not supposed to be together forever. Yeah, that was hard. I had a lot of support through it, though. My parents offered a lot of support, my best friend, and some friends from school. One in particular really was/is a huge help and support, not sure how I would have gotten through this without him, not to sound overdramatic or anything, but really that's the t...

Heeeeey, It's ya girl Ab! Soooo, you may have thought I fell of the face of the earth. Luckily, I didn't. I'm here and I'm present. Life has been like in the title...Crazy. It's been crazy busy, crazy cool, crazy fun, crazy emotional, and just plain crazy. I have been doing good, and celebrated my 19th birthday! Yeah, forgot to post about how much fun that was. I have had such a great summer. How's your summer been!? I'm hoping it hasn't flown by as fast as mine has. I have no idea where summer has gone, maybe it ran away to a tropical destination and has no intention of coming back, if that's the case, I guess I'm cool with that because honestly, same. Soooo, as I'm writing this I am packing my bags and boxes to leave for one of life's biggest adventures yet. University. Not going to lie, I am lost within the chaos of packing, calling friends and family, getting all the last minute stuff put together, and well, trying to remember to bre...

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am an extroverted, happy-go-lucky kind of person. I strive to see the best in people, and make the best out of a negative circumstance. I'm consistently trying to make an effort to help others in any way I can. I've never been someone to find the negative aspect in something, rather smile and hope for something brighter to be the outcome. Being this way, however, can become difficult very quickly. About a year or so ago, I started to feel different, it was like a sudden wave of doubt, anxiety, and worry washed over me. I began to smile less, and care less even. I lost a lot of the past friendships I had made, went through a heartbreak, and watched my future plans crumble before me. I began to loose sleep, wake up feeling more exhausted than I did before I went to sleep, and got to the point of not being able to complete simple tasks such as cleaning the house, or doing a load of laundry. I felt as though my whole world lost meaning, and there w...

Hey guys, again, I apologize for not having consistency with my blogs. Life has been and continues to be crazy. I am currently taking online courses which of course had its moments of "I can't do this" and "I'm so excited to see where this leads". A lot of caffeine has been involved in this process, shocker right?! It's in all honesty going well, and is a huge experience of learning for me. Life is good. Oh! There is also something else, I met someone. Yep, I dident think it would happen either, but now I could not be more thankful that it did, he is such an amazing individual. I'm still in the midst of writing music as well, a slow process mind you. It can be tough to map out time to write these days, although I should be more conscious of making time for it. I am pumped for basketball season starting back up, no better season. This was basically just a life update since I've been like dead on this, slacking off I suppose. This is a shorter upda...

Hello all! I'm back! It's been a crazy week to say the least. I am currently laid up until Tuesday with a sprained ankle due to a basketball injury, so life kind of sucks at the moment. I got accepted to the school I applied to and am so thrilled to start online courses in a couple weeks. My brother got married last night and it was beyond special. I am so happy for them!! They are a A List couple for sure. I was honoured to be a bridesmaid and sing for them. This is a rather short and sweet life update but just wanted to let y'all know I'm not dead- LOL. I hope all is great with all of you and you are having an amaz week! Keep shining and chasing adventure! This weeks challenge is giving a word of encouragement to someone- something big or small, and I will do the same. Have a great week! - A xo

Hello All, I trust you have had an awesome week thus far ! Hard to believe we are already here on Wednesday, I've felt this week has just flown by! I've done my best to write as often as possible , but busy schedules unfortunately conflict with that most times. I thought since I haven't posted in a while that this blog could simply be a life update blog. A lot has happened in the past week, I took part in our small town pageant, Miss Hartland. I took part last year and has such a great time that I wanted to do it again this year. Going into it , I had no intentions of wanting to win, but just to have a great time , which I sure did! I got my wish and did not end up gaining the title of Miss Hartland , but was fortunate enough to earn the title of Miss Talent 2017, which I was so happy to receive. It was such a fantastic night with such incredible ladies! For my talent, I sang Halo by Beyoncé. Going into the song I was so exited to take on this classic. With the excitement a...
