Introducing myself~

Why did I make this blog?

I don't want to lead a bad life, wasting away my time as I always have. On this blog, I'll record the journey I'm on to finally become the person God wanted me to be - who I really need to be.

you are shaped by what you absorb: visually, mentally, emotionally. if you constantly take in noise, negativity, and mediocrity, your perception dulls; the world starts to feel flat. but when you surround yourself with depth, beauty, and intentionality, your inner world expands. the books you read, the art you admire, the way you speak to yourself - it all becomes part of you. choose carefully, because what you consume is what you become.

I'm back and more motivated than ever! Life has been beating me down a lot but I think I finally have the strength to not let it take my vitality away

Madeleine Eastoe of The Australian Ballet, as Clara, in The Nutcracker (2007).

The lead roles managed well and lived up to their parts. Madeleine Eastoe as Clara was all bright eyed wonder, light and girlish in her steps and confident with her repertoire.
