I Have this Obsession with Telling Stories

-
Lately I've been in what feels like an artistically dry period. I've spent this last year and a half not focused as much on acting but focusing on myself, my spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health. With that being said, this past eighteen months have be HARD (I had to capitalize that).  Hard because I wasn't just confronting my pain, and the things I wasn't letting go of, but I was mainly confronting myself and my own demons and calling out myself when it came to my own toxic traits, and how I tend to hold myself back. I shed a lot of tears, both happy and sad. I went through the process of feeling guilty, full of shame, feeling worthless, not enough. I had to face the mistakes I made that led me to dark places, the decisions I made that I lived with regret about for so long. All of that to be where I am now. At some point after graduation when I feel into one of the deepest depressions I have ever been in, I made a decision to get up and fight. Fight for ...

Better Late Than Never

Annnnnnnnnddddddddddd... WE'RE BACK! It's been a while, seven month to be exact. But I'm back and I am ready to go! I said that I would relaunch my blog in 2019 (after taking a hiatus, graduating college, and adjusting to real life) after my birthday post. That obviously did not happen, but a lot has gone into these seven months. The idea was to relaunch on New Years Day, but seeing that we are five months in to 2019 and the blog is just relaunching, things didn't go as planned. So here we are, five months late, with a name change and more content on the way. I did not know how I wanted to reshape the blog or what I wanted to do to relaunch it. But I knew that it was time for a change. This Beautiful Blossom was a start to this whole thing and I am so appreciative of the people that read those blogs. I decided to change the name and relaunch because that was a stage in my life. That was a time in my life where I finally began to come to terms with who I am and I ...

YEAR 26

-
Image
 I turned twenty-six yesterday, and if I'm being completely honest I was dreading it. I'm so close to thirty and I haven't accomplished the things that I wanted to by twenty-five. Before I know it, I'm going to be thirty and hoping I'm in the position I want to be in. I didn't plan anything for my birthday and wasn't expecting it to be special. For the first time I looked at my birthday as just another day. But when I woke up yesterday morning to so many text messages from friends and family and so many people telling me happy birthday, it put the BIGGEST smile on my face. I've learned that as you get older the desire for tangible gifts start to fade, and you dive into the other gifts in your life; friends, family, relationships, life and spirituality. I was showered with so much love and it was more than I could have asked for and so much more than I expected. My heart is so full and I am full of gratitude. I started this day dreading turning twenty...

SCARED AS SH*T!

Life has a way of chewing us up, spitting us out, and taking us places we never thought we'd go. I guess that's called growth. Growth isn't the easiest thing to attain, it's actually pretty hard when you think about it. You get put through the ringer and deal with an immense amount of pressure to get there. Growth never comes from states of comfort, you grow through uncomfortability (probably just made that word up, whatever it feels right), pressure, and even pain.  Along with that comes fear, because we honestly never know what's on the other side. We never know if we're going to make it out okay, and sometimes we're not even convinced if we'll make it out at all. The truth is, life will be the worst and best friend we've ever had. It will also be the greatest teacher we can ever imagine. The cool thing about that is, we are forever students in this very unorganized classroom. There are multiple teachers, no one is on the same page, everyone jus...

When Metaphor Meets Reality

The best moments of our lives happen at times when we are least expecting it. They happen at the most unusual points in our lives, they seem to occur when we aren't looking for them. They just happen, that's life I guess, it just happens. To take that even further, the best moments in our lives happen with the people we never expect them to happen with. It happens with the right people and at the right time, and in that moment everything seems to line up perfectly. It's magical to say the least. You've probably guessed by now that I recently had one of those moments, it was a moment that left me in awe. It was a moment that took me a while to write about because I couldn't find the words to appropriately capture this moment and what it meant to me. I'm not sure if I have all the words now but I'm going to try because I am desperate to share, but if I'm going to tell this story I have to tell it from the beginning and talk about what led me to this mo...

Taking a Hiatus

Thank you to everyone who reads and supports the blog. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for the blog. There are many things I started writing but didn’t really fit the direction I want to go in for this blog. I will be writing new material soon. With that being said, ‘This Beautiful Blossom’ will be on a hiatus until June. Which will give me time to get some good material prepared and segments for the blog. There will be more to this blog when it returns in June. Until then sit tight and please continue to support. I will be very active on the Instagram account for this blog @sunflowerblogs so follow that to stay updated on everything ‘This Beautiful Blossom’ Thank you, Dyamond

Growing Up a Tomboy

***Before you read, please note: This is my own personal experience, from my perspective. I am not trying to or do not intend to project myself or my experience on anyone else*** We all have that one female friend who is not a typical girl. They are stronger than the boys they know, can probably beat them in an arm wrestle and play a man's game better than a man. We all know that one girl who is known as one of the guys, that one friend that everyone thinks is gay but she isn't. We all know that one girl who loves playing and watching sports and wears jeans all the time. The girl who makes everyone's head turn when she actually walks into a room with a dress, heels, make up and hair done, because people aren't used to seeing her that way. The friend that everyone is surprised can not only walk in heels but can strut in them. If you're reading this and thinking, "I'm that girl" you are not alone, so am  I. We are the tomboys, we are the girls that ...
