Grateful for Rebelsea

People these days just want things like popularity and authority. If I were to give up a lot of things that I want and pick one thing that I truly want it would be the feeling of accomplishment through every task. Thanksgiving is coming and it's time to break out the gratitude. However, we need to be grateful for all the things we have in our life regardless if it's Thanksgiving time or not. I'm thankful for a girl named Chelsea Moore. I know she doesn't want me to say her name anymore, but guess what. Freedom of speech. Besides, I'm not the one who started being a jerk. Whenever we'd see each other in the halls, she'd glare at me. Nowadays when Dawson tries to bring her up, I simply say "Chelsea who? I don't know a Chelsea." The other day I found a CD. It was actually the CD that she made for me as a Christmas present last year. With names all over it, hers had names like "Scootz, Chelbo, and Lil Miss Shooter." Mine had names like "Rarity, Bekolin, and Lil Miss Epic." I listened to all of the songs on it and sat in silence as I thought more and more about our friendship and all the wonderful things she had done for me. I looked at the "Rebelsea," poster that I had in the garbage and wondered if there was more that I could do.

I know she hates my guts, but why am I the only one getting the treatment that I get? Why am I the only one getting chewed out for the things I say, when it seems like the whole school is saying it? Chelsea. My best friend. I still check up on her. She never updates her blog, her Facebook has privacy settings on "Friends of Friends" She blames me for talking crap about her when I know it's true and it was told to me, and the people I "told" already knew about it in the first place. She claims never talking about me behind my back, I know that's crap. As if she's never posted about me on Facebook... One post I remember seeing on her wall that one of my friends showed me said that she was mad at her now ex-best friend. That's the deal breaker. Once I saw that, I knew she was trouble and I felt like she never cared after I read all the comments on the post. Facebook is just a way to either rant about your problems or spread the word of inspiration. The better things you post, the closer your friends may be to you. The more aggressive your posts come off as, the more people get annoyed by you. I truly am grateful for the experience that I've had with this amazing girl. I know that she's different. I don't know who this Chelsea-Evelyn Moore is...but I miss Chelbo, my always and forever best friend.

Explode with creativity and get inspiration from your past. Glow more with inspiration than you ever have before. My challenge to you all is to think about a devastating point in your life, and just write about it and what you've taken from the experience. Write how you're grateful for that bad experience in your life, and post it below in the comments if you'd like! Remember to keep inspiring those around you and be the best that you can be!

Harvest 2013

Hey, guys! Let’s start off with a little bit of Lil Miss Epic business! If you have been watching my YouTube channel recently, I’d like to tell you guys a little technical difficulty. I cannot upload due to the stupidity of the YouTube app on my tablet. Unfortunately, my tablet is my only recording device available to me. As I would love to record for you guys and show you all my progress on Minecraft Survival, I cannot. As soon as I'm able to upload videos to YouTube, I'll upload my most recent videos, which were in the loading cycle when it all stopped working.

All right, so I didn't really tell you guys what happened the day of my wonderful blog's anniversary.. aka SATURDAY, the 9th. WELL. We had a school dance, if you didn't already know. I had asked Dawson to go with me, well here's a play by play.

After writing my blog post, I got in the car with my mother and permit in hand to go up my boyfriend, who was just finishing up his drive at Driver's Ed. I was kind of nervous because he's never seen me drive before. None of my friends have. When it was just me and Reino, I did totally fine. Anyways, I did pretty well, and the only big mistake I had made was I turned off the car before putting it in PARK. I felt so stupid, but I was just so ready to get out of the car and spend the day with my boyfriend.

Even though it was nearly noon, I felt a rush to go tutor him with math. We get inside and check Power School for what he needs to makeup to get a higher score. While he does the assignments, I check up on his other grades and then notice how badly organized his backpack is. When pulling out his math book that was supposed to have white pages and a red cover, it was all turning orange. I asked Dawson what had happened, he said some "pastels" had exploded in his bag. I laughed about it as I cleaned out his bag, and threw it in the washing machine. Even when he had finished all of his work, I just kept organizing his stuff. He wanted me to just drop everything and go watch Lady and The Tramp with him, the movie that I had picked out for the day. I kept organizing and walking in and out of the room on a constant basis as we watched the movie. I found the movie incredibly boring because of course, I had missed all of my favorite parts. Dawson thought it was great! He thoroughly enjoyed it, just as I had suspected. If I had just SAT and watched it, it would've been a much better movie for me. Thinking of what to do after the movie had ended, I started to think more about his grades... Here I am, with a 99 in Algebra, and there he sits with a 52% in the same class. I try to help him, I really do. Then, I see all the other classes he takes. D, C+, A(Troylairs... kind of impossible to fail that one...), D, and F. Well... since D's are acceptable now... I shouldn't be too worried, but it's still a good idea to help him get that grade higher. 8% is the difference between staying with me in our beautiful new high school or leaving to go to the Alternative. I have to make sure he's dedicated to his work.

We had tons of fun. From playing games such as Smash Brothers and Glee Karaoke, we had a ton of fun. With Smash Bros, we put everyone's lives at 99, including the 2 CPU's we had... that were BOTH Yoshis. I chose a pink Yoshi, and Dawson chose Link. After a while, Dawson and I just started committing suicide on the game and just jumping off of Hyrule Castle. It was funny to see the 2 CPU's try to battle it out with still 70 lives. We left them alone for a bit, then came back to check every once in a while, with usually a 5 life difference. Oh yeah, and the CPU's had Handicap at 9, making them super hard to play against. The lowest we got them to was 30 lives, then we just turned it off to play some Karaoke on the Wii. It was fun because whenever it told us to "Make Some Noise" we'd make some weird noise. We had too much fun with it. Especially when rapping because most of the time we'd just give up and go mernahmermermerrrr and mutter the rest of the lyrics.

It came time to go to Harvest, we had my mother drive us there at around 8:30pm and arrived to almost literally nobody there. Come 9 o'clock, people started to show up and the party came in the house. Thing is, nobody was really dancing. Everyone was standing around waiting to dance. Dawson and I were that weird couple where you'd see us and he's on my back and we're running around being stupid. When we danced together, I had him flap his wings with me like a chicken because I can't dance. There he is just "yolo-ing" every dance that has people leading it, and he goes up to lead them as well. Like Gangnam Style, he can't do it too well, but he just YOLO's it and doesn't care what others think about it. Harvest was fun as heck. I love going to dances with Dawson. Since it was a Girls Choice dance, I was the one to ask him to dance with me every time. One of the times, when it was a slow dance, I went out to the dance floor and he just ditched me to go talk to some other people. I just kind of danced around in circles with my "ghost" partner that didn't really exist. Noticing that I was "dancing with somebody else," he jumped in to the empty spot that was reserved for him and for him only and said sorry. I started thinking... Where's Chelsea? I continued to look around for the crazy chick and her red-headed boyfriend, but couldn't find them. This was the second dance she hasn't attended...and I know she asked her boyfriend to go with her. Later, to my surprise, Chelsea broke up with Conner, her red-headed boyfriend. I don't know the reason, but I felt bad for him because he sat there reserved by her and didn't even get to go to Harvest because she broke up with him. Poor guy.

With the night advancing in constant fun, I started getting tired. Dawson's parents came to take me home and as soon as I got home, I took a shower than layed down. Drawkah had planned an all nighter... I wasn't so sure I could do it. He called me and I picked up, as my usual self and we talked about how much fun we had. I turned off the lights, and layed down again and put in my Bluetooth. I closed my eyes a couple times and to my surprise, Dawson was saying "I love you" and I wouldn't even realize until he had said my name a couple of times. Imagining a conversation that wasn't even happening, I started talking to the Dawson I heard inside my head about the weather. I said stuff like "Yeah, I know." and "No." and he'd say "I love you" or "I miss you" again, and I would continue not to notice until he said my name a couple of times. It got to the point where I was saying the most bizarre things. The most bizarre thing by far would have to be, "Do I turn left at this intersection?" It was completely random because I remember he told me something, and I said wait... what? and then asked that. It was so bizarre and random that it was one of the things we might remember most about what happens when I get tired. I don't know how far it went on until I fell asleep but I was exhausted. 

Harvest was by far one of the most fun and party filled days I've had in a long time, and it was very refreshing. PRAISE FCCLA for doing such a great job with the decorations and making the dance possible. I love you, FCCLA.

Just a selfie today, up top. Because I'm gorgeous and stuff.

Lil Miss Epic 1st Anniversary: TOP PICKS

Wow! Not only is it my blog's first anniversary, but we've reached 7,000 page views! THANKS Thanks to Sienna Wareham's special vote for what topic was going to be chosen for today, I'm gonna be talking about my top picks for my blog! Let's put it this way. My blog's been like a timeline to me, for how it's been during certain points in my life. Even though it's been just a year, I can still piece each post together. Here are my top picks!

Embarrassment
"Embarrassment" is the post that got everyone excited about "Lil Miss Epic" as a blog. It was my first post ever and showed my audience my casualty. Complete with a list of what I planned out for my blog in the future, I've stuck to it very well now that I look back at it. "Embarrassment" was a perfect start for my blog. I wouldn't have it any other way, especially since "Embarrassment"got a total of 50 page views in one day, without my advertisement.

The Kissing Attempt
"The Kissing Attempt" showed the first real contact of Drawkah and the friends surrounding it. Not only did it show my real emotion, frustration, but it was fun to read because it was relate-able. Dawson later of course felt bad about the situation, but at least I got a laugh out of my audience. What an amazing post to start out the relationship of Drawkah.

Why? It's a Long Story...
"Why? It's a Long Story..." is a blog-post about none other than the difficulty of losing friends while you grow up. Not only has this story proven what has happened with just one person, but it's also shown what has happened with another one of my best friends. To be perfectly honest, I was missing both of them for the longest time. But, I've let go. This post I would definitely nominate as the longest post. If I wanted to rename it, I'd rename it The Backstory.

Movie Night Memories
"Movie Night Memories" Is just a story about a girl and a boy's first kiss. Let me rephrase that. Drawkah's first kiss. Not only did I give a play-by-play of our behavior around each other, but I also gave back story of Jakeah(James and Rebekah) as a couple, and how things are different. This post is the best way to describe the transition from James to Dawson. From Hurt to Healed.

But that's not all folks! That was just 2012... There was MUCH more than just 4 little posts. This was the opening era of Lil Miss Epic.

The Key to Understanding

"The Key to Understanding" was what I consider the first Truly inspirational post to come out of Lil Miss Epic.I had several people coming to me saying that it was amazing. "The Key to Understanding" was what made me live up to my title, inspiring my inspirations.

"People Can Change"
Looking back at this post, I had a breakthrough. This post is all about how The Law of Attraction really works. It even explains perfectly my situation right now with several people. I love this post, dearly. Not only is it just about the law of attraction, but it's about assuming things.

"No Matter What"
This post... It shows how much I worked to get into our choir, Troylairs. How much thought and dedication I had put into anything. I knew that I would get in at the end of it, and to be honest, it was a growing experience because it added onto my testimony of the power of prayer and the law of attraction.

"Breaking Stereotypes & Fixing Things"
This post was one of my top picks because of one memory of Dawson that was said in this post as well.When I'm at my lowest points in life, I hear "I'm Right Here." in Dawson's voice. It's so comforting, and it's something that I'll always remember.

"September Dreams Come True"
This night was possibly the best night ever because it was Dawson and I's anniversary. It's always fun to just look back about how lucky I am to have such a wonderful boyfriend. The lesson of this post? Be grateful for all the things that you and your friends do with each other. Memories are the best gift, get the most of it.

"Those Two People"
This is my last top-pick, but it's definitely a post that should be remembered constantly. Sienna and Dawson are the only two who haven't ditched me. They're such great people. I love both of them so much, and it shows the gratitude that I have for both of them. Appreciate who you have.

There you have it, guys! My top 10 picks... Of course, it's more of a timeline of the the top ones that connect the best, but hey. IT WORKS. Don't question my ways. ;)

Help Me Celebrate!

Hey guys! I just wanted to update you guys on what's been going on! So, I bought some tickets to the Harvest Ball, a T-Shirt dance that we're having at our High School on Saturday. I recently realized that ALSO on Saturday, is Lil Miss Epic's one year anniversary! I wanted to celebrate but wasn't sure how I wanted to do it. I came up with a couple of ideas of blog posts I could do, but I wanted to give you guys an opportunity to celebrate as well. Give me a challenge or a question to do, and I'll try my best to fulfill your wishes. However, if it's something I would be COMPLETELY uncomfortable doing. Anyways, I'm excited. If you can't come up with anything to challenge me on or a question to ask me, I'm accepting votes on the following blog post ideas:

--Growth since "Embarrassment"
--I am Grateful for My Blog
--Tribute to Inspirations
--My Top Picks of Blog-posts

Anyways, yep! Saturday's going to be kind of a party day for me anyways because of the Harvest Ball, but with my free time, I'll be thinking of you guys and the support you've given just by reading it, or even skimming through my blog. I love you all, even the ones I hate make me stronger and I thank them in the end.

What's the Secret?

Hey everybody! It's almost been an entire year since I've started this inspirational blog! To gain inspiration and be filled with even more wisdom, I decided to read a very special book about empowerment in general. Many of you may have heard of this series and the books surrounding it. The Secret. I used to think, yeah I know what it's like to be grateful, I don't need to read a book about "The Magic" of it all. About a week later, my mom set this book next to me... "The Secret to Teen Power" I kept just glancing at it... Wondering why my mother was getting so obsessed with the series. I noticed how it said Teen...over and over again. It was written for teens! Flipping through, I saw motivational quotes and stories from other teenagers who have used The Secret in their lives. I started at page one and it talked about all the lovely things that we all thought when we were kids and how we could still obtain it all. Anyways to sum up what the book is about, it's an empowering book about the law of attraction. Some of you may already know what I'm talking about. However, if you don't know what I'm talking about I would seriously recommend this book. I knew about the law of attraction, but I didn't know that it applied to everything that we do. The book teaches how to use the law of attraction in everyday life and how to obtain true happiness and love. It addresses many of the issues that teenagers in general have. Anyways, the quote that swept me off my feet was on page 48 of this lovely book, I've dedicated a picture to it.

Anyways, The Secret? It's an AMAZING book. If you're a parent reading this blog, BUY THIS BOOK for your teenager. They'll love it if they're interested in improving their life. ANYONE could read this book and gain something from it. I recommend this book for EVERY teenager, especially if you like this blog. Let me tell you this, my blog posts are about to get a lot better because of the way this book has influenced and moved me. And that's my experience with The Secret.

And here's the new cover for November!!
