As Told By Dyamond

 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...

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...

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

Welcome to my blog everyone! My name is Dyamond J. and this is my new blog. I am a 25 year old Los Angeles native, and I am an actress. I am starting this blog just because I think it is a fun idea and a way to share my experiences with people. This was originally going to be a fashion blog, but I have more to say and more to talk about than just fashion. I've been on a crazy journey up to this point and I have learned so much about myself and life in the process. I want to share these life lessons and these groundbreaking moments in my life. Yes, I will talk about fashion because I really like fashion but I will also talk about life. My life to be exact, and the things that I have learned from what I have been through. The thing about life is that it can get you down, and sometimes it can sucks. For periods of time is actually sucks more than anything. But what I have learned is that I have come through all of that for a reason. I am where I am for a reason, it didn't kill ...
