I create.

       Sometimes when I get overwhelmed with things I'm suppose to do I decide not to do any of them and spend my time doing things that can release my creativity. Hence the start of this blog the week before finals week. Sometimes I just become so emotionally drained and absorbed in studies that I feel like I have to to something to remind myself that actually am good at things. Even if it's not really Physics or Earth Science that are my expertise. This past week has been a blur. A long, sunny, endearing blur. I've managed to study more than I ever have in my life and for some reason I feel like I will never be ready enough for these finals coming up.

      First you must understand something about Miss Taylor, I am very much a planner and when things don't really go according to the "plan" that I came up with I start to become very stressed and overcome with the thought that it might not work out. I then breathe really slow and steady trying to remind myself that it was never my plan that was important it was Heavenly Father's and the it really will all be okay. This breakdown, that can occur really anywhere I might add.For which I would like to give my apologies to anyone who has ever witnessed one, they are rather dramatic to anyone else but myself, the drama-tee.

      Anyway after that I gather myself back together and put that smile right back where it belongs, I then, create. Other people like run or paint or shop (which I do enough of without doing it when I'm stressed too) or build things, I just make things.





It usually in stages too:
Like cooking it the first stage, I will make or bake something that has little to none nutritional value simply because well it's funner to make and yummier to eat. Lemon Glaze Poppyseed Muffins. All. From. Scratch. (thank you Pinterest for the recipe)

Stage two usually consist of me creating things for or with other people.This week my roommate let me "pamper" her with lotion massage. Which is where I created my name on her leg. Silly? Yes, but it was fun. In high school when I was stressed I would go and color on the wall that lined our yard with sidewalk chalk so the cars that drove by could see. I would usually recruit my best friends and we would take a bucket of chalk down and illustrate for own town. (My house was just off the main road, so everyone saw the wall)




Stage three of my madness is usually creating something for me. This time I decided to started on my decorations for my room come Fall 2012. I stared my banner and if I do say so myself it is adore! I love it! & I'm very excited to hang it in my room next school year!





Now I suppose my last and final stage is creating this blog and blogging about why and how this blog came about. Which I'm very excited about!

Yay! I'm a new Blogger!
