This Is Living

Goodness, I'm so overwhelmed. And I feel like such a weight has been lifted off of me. Last night I had the privilege of going to a Rend Collective concert.  Now, the first thing I'll say is, I've heard Rend Collective on the radio before, but I never really, truly listened to the lyrics, nor did I particularly enjoy the style. However, when my best friend invited me to come and see them with her and a small group of friends as a celebration for her birthday, I readily agreed, excited to fellowship and perhaps develop some new friendships as well. Upon arriving at her house, I was greeted warmly by her with a much needed hug.  We all later took the 40ish minute drive to the concert venue, which sped by so quickly. Most likely because I happened to get introduced to someone who I'd heard a lot about and, turns out he had so much in common with me, it was insane. And being the extroverted people we are, we instantly dove into deep and controversial discussions, con...

So, it's just another bad morning.... One of those kind of days. My hair looks like a tornado and I'm still in my pajamas. I somehow managed to get out of bed at like, 10:30, which is acceptable for a homeschooler. It's not like I missed school or anything but, at the same time, the day is half over and this has been a repeating trend for the past couple of weeks. I wish so badly I could adjust to a normal sleeping schedule. I should probably set an alarm...but, ever since the weather started changing, I've felt sick and in need of sleep.  Super ironic since I can't seem to sleep until like 1 AM.  Needless to say, I have a love-hate relationship with this weather change.  I fully embrace the scented candles, countless cups of tea,  fall decorations and excuses to wear sweaters. But...I'm not so fond of the sickness and change in sleep schedule. So now, here I'm sitting, smiling because of how bad of a week I've had (I know, that makes no sense. It...

Good afternoon, fabulous person!! (or morning...or evening...or two in the freaking morning...all depending on where you live). If you don't know this, my name is Kiah. So, I guess I should probably tell you a bit about myself...that is, if you don't already know me.    I'm basically just a homeschooling, high school student with a lot of hopes and dreams. I live and breathe music. When I'm not listening to one of my many playlists, I love songwriting, rapping and most especially, singing. I don't travel out of my state very often, but I dream of one day spending a good portion of my life travelling. I'm passionate about experiencing things and taking calculated risks to get the best out this precious gift of life the LORD has given me. I love to write. A lot of times the words don't come out just right in real life so getting to pour out my feelings and finding a hidden lesson amidst something that happens in life, I love pulling that lesson to th...
