VIOLET REDUX

Hey guys So it's been a long time since I wrote anything i felt like posting , which means I have written a few things but nothing seemed right to post. But today at 5 am I got this huge burst of inspiration and now I want to change the word😂 Seems typical though I always talk about changing the world but I know I will cause I will start by changing me. Anyway so I wrote this and I think it'll inspire a lot of people so remember to give feedback. Lord I'm a mess I'm not clean I'll admit I said what I did and I did what I shouldn't I wake up unsure of the day If you still love me Or if you're tired of me living this way I cried and I cried And I searched for a sign Tell me there's hope Tell me there's time You said in your word "she will always be mine" So why am I so lost, simply one of the 99 Even though I'm not different I'm part of the crowd I love you till death and I'll love you aloud...

Hey readers and those of you that are probably just going to open this link and leave. You're both welcome 😂. So I am back with another post that took me a whole month to work on. I think I'll just make it a case to post at least once a month. Anyways so today I'm going to be talking about "THE PROCESS" sounds so cringy 😂 but when I start you'll understand. Now I encourage you to actually read it to the end. As you know my style is to ramble on till I  make a point. So please read it all. So the process is basically what we call the journey. It's the long long period of time we push through to get to what we want or where we want to be. Many times it's not actually that long it just seems so cause we don't plan on it fully so it ends up seeming a lot longer. There's a very special part in the process that I really want to talk about and it's called the crushing. (I should write a book or something😂) This is the most heartwren...

Lately  my blog views have increased, hundreds actually. Pretty good right, you would think I wouldn't ghost for 3 months but I'm nothing if not surprising 🙂. Any way so as much as I have been off and a lot of you might not know that Bts I've been learning and growing. I had blocks this summer like the whole summer, I got so busy I didn't have the strength to think anymore every thing was on remote control. Click right, left and all. And I started talking a ton of writers, bloggers, musicians, teens. You know getting the scope on all ends. We find it really hard to be creative because creativity is uncomfortable for some people. Creativity has been called inappropriate, wrong,  different, weird. When all in all its just you being you, that's what it's about. For a few years, there was a box I was in, I had a list of things I couldn't write about or be creative about, things that might cause controversies, make people uncomfortable. JK Rowling, the Br...

Hey guys, So, I have been reading a lot in hopes to get over my writers block, but I only found one solution that really stuck to me. “As a writer you’re going to have to keep writing through the blocks,” although this doesn’t sound easy and isn’t I had to try to write on this topic, because frankly if I don’t, I won’t feel like I’ve fulfilled my purpose one way or the other. I didn’t put a topic originally because I want people to be curious enough to read this; I’m going to be talking about suicide. Not just this though over the next few pots I’ll be really hammering on those sensitive topics that are otherwise seen as controversial, because my goal   is the invoke this important conversations that are to be had. Suicide, contrary to what our parents might sort of believe is something that a lot of teenagers have considered and maybe even consider, I have friends that do, I even do sometimes. Being a teenager isn’t the easiest thing to do and I agree. I know so...

Hey guys So I wrote this post on a morning that sucked, so I woke up that day, absolutely happy, it’s a friend’s birthday and all and not up to an hour later I was crying, very sad story if you heard it you’d probably get angry too. So as the avid writer I am I started writing and I wrote this very long paragraph then I stopped. Let me give a  little bio of me, I don’t like talking about my problems, if I’m sad or mad I won’t talk about it, it’s very rare, like at all. So on that day something eating me up came out, because I didn’t intend on it and the reaction from the person was shocking, like I couldn’t talk, then the things the person said again like a very important person o I won’t drop descriptions though. Anyway, the person finished saying whatever and I was crying so I stopped, cause I just knew I shouldn’t be crying, then questions came up of whys life so hard why can’t it be easy for once, yunno if I was meant to be great and all why is everyday terrible one way or...

ME ON THE INSIDE OUT Hey guys, so as you can see from the title this  is a self-appreciation post that everyone should read cause it’s a small thing I’ve learnt and something I really hope you guys will read over again when you feel like you’re not enough. Over the last few years in my life my physical has changed a lot, I had hair a while back in I think 12th grade but cut it by January 2016, fortunately it grew and by April of that year I had hair again, so I kept it, relished in the different hairstyles id do, if you know me you’d know I’m not afraid to do any color, except pink or purple that is. Now I cut my hair, and a lot of people have the typical black girl image in mind, yunno, beyonce Rihanna, zendaya, yara, etc or the ones with long ass natural hair and I have punk. Funny enough though contrary to popular belief I do not want to be a boy, I feel beautiful with or without my hair, so yeah I don’t have it, oh well. I know how a lot of people change themselves so the...

The darkness,  the emptiness, the void It's like it chokes you Like you're breathing your last breath Over and over again. Sometimes it's like you're floating Like you're looking at yourself, Being alive but not living Merely existing Then you start to wonder If you actually are If you mean something If you matter Don't let it become who you are Time, is precious Ever notice how we can buy everything including oxygen, but we can't buy time It's not enough to "merely exist" We have to live It's not enough to just survive We have to be alive We all want eternal life The "God glow" So much so that we carry bibles Wear the finest outfits and go to church on Sunday But yet we are still empty Feeling the darkness and feeling the void Existing, surviving On mere fumes Love him like you're going to loose him Is all he asks Something that's so small it's barely anything Preachers and prophe...

Please help and support, remember that we are the few teens who se Peak, we have the ability to change the whole world, one post at a time. Remember to share and tell your friends also comment cause as usual feedback is amazing. Thank you guys so much.

Hello homo sapiens (Kelvin are you happy now), so this post as you can see is one of my favorite things to do, even without posting it, I adore TV shows and I’m pretty sure I watch it more than I do anything else in the world. So this is about maybe my favorite show of the year “Riverdale” Something that if you’re not watching I don’t know what you’re doing to be honest, anyway so Riverdale. (BEWARE OF SPOILERS) Riverdale is amazing. It’s the spinoff show the Archie Comics, and yeah it’s based off all the characters, but with a very different storyline than what you’d expect. It’s a thriller and I like that its more complex than the three minute Archie comic strips that you’d read and dismiss off at once. I feel it’s really smart, like if you were going to make a series make it complex and make it really fun, which is what the creators of this series did. So KJ Apa portrays Archie Andrews, the usually nervous and seemingly offbeat star. But in Riverdale reverse is the case ...

Hey guys, so I am back with an essential post today, well as you can see from the title, this is about handling disappointments. As teenagers and even adults (those who might be reading this right now…hiiiiiiiiiiiii) disappointment is a thing that life has packed for us in a very hefty box and serves it most of the time unfairly.  Although I am not here to talk about having disappointments, I am here to talk about what you do when it happens and you’re about to get overwhelmed. Last year, a few months after my exams for university, I got the list of students that were admitted and very unfortunately my name was not on the list. Now I got 78% out of 100 on one of the exams (PUTME) and a 238 out of 400 on another, seems like a pretty alright result. Some people on that list had lower scores than I did but they still got in, so yeah I was extremely disappointed, I cried for a very long time, and my parents were upset too, everyone who knew kept saying its okay you’ll make it on the se...

Hey guys, It’s your favorite non-regular blogger here *inserts smiley face* So I’m guessing you’re all quite used to the million and one excuses I give when I don’t post for a while but heck, I’m still going to give it anyways. So this time it was nothing incredibly heartbreaking other than towards the end of every year dance gets a whole lot more tasking for me and then I had school to deal with which was like icing on the cake more or less. Nevertheless, I am back now and I’m going to do a new year’s post next and proceed with a lot more fun stuff that I have set in store for this year. So I just need you guys' support and love, cause i want to do a whole lot more this year and hopefully i will.  As usual hit up the blogs ig and twitter @violetreduxblog for updates and info's and requests etc.
