I just switched my mindset so I was focusing on the positives and myself and everything just came together. I got a new internship and I was working on a new blog collaboration, And it was just a lot of exciting things happening. It finally felt like I was doing something for myself." "I'm terrified of all dogs. I'm just not really good with animals at all and I hate that, Because animals are such a cute part of this world, But I just can't help it when dogs are coming at me or if I'm close to one, it puts me in such a vulnerable position. I start to feel like I can't control myself in that situation and I act like such a baby, And the disconnection there makes me want to cry, Since I have no way of explaining what's happening to me. All I can say is 'I can't help it' and it's a psychological thing and it makes me feel weak. I don't understand it enough to help it.” “I'm honestly so ashamed of my stomach when I look at it, I've always had skinny limbs and stuff but every time I look down at my stomach, all I can think is it doesn't match the rest of my body. I gained the Freshman 15 and it was hard to deal with because I've stayed the same weight since middle school, And I barely saw it on myself until my pants started getting tighter. Part of this problem is with social media, but I also want it to be for myself. I want to look at myself and be comfortable with the body that I'm in. I've been working really hard on this and my mom is actually paying me to lose weight, Which I know sounds bad but she's basically protecting me, The money is just an incentive for keeping my body healthy. She helps me with what I eat and how much exercise I should have and portion sizes, And if anything it's helping our bond. It's not as horrible as it sounds, And since I've started this new lifestyle it puts me in such a better mood. I feel healthier and happier a lot of the time because I know I'm doing something to improve my lifestyle." “I’m proud of my go-getting attitude! I know what I want so I spend a lot of time working towards those goals, And a lot of the times I do what’s more important to me than others, And I'm glad I can do that. It complicates things sometimes, But you have to set your priorities straight You can't do everything and accomplish everything in the world.’ “I overcame my childhood cancer. I had ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) from when I was 3 to around 6 or 7. I would love to say a lot and be inspiring and encouraging, but i dont remember a lot of it, And I probably blocked out the rest. But honestly overcoming that was a defining moment not only for me but also for my parents. Once you beat something like that, it’s like getting a second chance at life, And that allows me to have such a positive outlook on life. It helps me want to see sunshine and rainbows more haha. I don't know, I just try not to be such a negative person because of that. Like why not use my second chance at life to be a positive ray of sunshine in people’s lives? A lot of people use being a cancer survivor as a way to get people to feel sorry for them, And I just don't want people to use this as a reason to pity me. A lot of people tell me things like 'I'm so glad you're still here with us,' But a lot of people don't understand we dont want people feeling bad for us. Cancer shouldn't be something that you show and get an advantage from. When I was writing my college essay I stayed away from that as much as possible because so many people write about that. You'll think they'll feel sorry for you and let you in out of pity. I want it to be viewed as an accomplishment." “I didn't always notice this, But I love my legs and how long they are. I didn't start liking them until people complimented them, But you don't always notice things about yourself until people are sweet about it, So we should go around giving people more compliments! People always point out how big my lips are too, But these are God-given things so I feel like I shouldn't take credit for them. "As for personality,
I like that I'm not confrontational. I don't like to fight with people, And if anything they are arguments with my mom and little sister, But I've only had like one or two big fights with friends. I don't like to be dramatic and call too much attention to myself. I guess I'm more of the problem solver in my friend groups. I try to be humble about things as much as possible.”
