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 ...

Happy New Year everyone! *A few Walt Disney quotes ahead* So today is obviously the first day of 2018 and I am so excited for everything this year will bring. This is going to be an exciting year for me and I hope for you as well. With that being said, there is a sort of tradition that I started with myself about five years ago. Every year on the first day of the year I make a vision board or a vision book. It is something I know many people do, and I love the idea of writing down a vision, writing down the things you want and how you are going to get them. For me, getting something down on paper solidifies it, and for the law as well. But back to what I was saying. As you will find out, I am the type of person that likes to write I have a collection of journals each with a different purpose, I just love to write things down and one day look back on them to see where I was and how far I have come. That's kind of what these vision boards are to me, so at the end of the year whe...

This Beautiful Blossom

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 ...
