My First Blog

Hey everybody! Forgive my blog, as I'm completely new to this whole thing. After months of reading other people's blogs, I decided that it was finally time to make my own. It's a work in progress, but I hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy posting. Hopefully, it will improve with time and practice. :)

I chose my title, Thriving and Surviving, from the one of my favorite Maya Angelou quotes.

Arguably one of the most influential and powerful women of all time, Maya succeeded in what she hoped to do and continues to touch so many lives. She captures my vision and my dream, not merely to survive, but to thrive, with passion, compassion, humor, and style. 

It's so important to me to live life with a passion and a purpose. I've always had some sort of goal in mind, and I'm probably one of the most determined people you'll ever meet. I've always pushed for perfection, wanting to be the best at whatever it is I do. Ultimately, I've pushed, and continue to push, for success. Through both my successes and failures, I hope to touch as many lives as humanly possible. I strive each day to be a constant improvement on myself and to be someone that people can look up to. I want to leave a mark, not just as society, but on the hearts and lives of those I come in contact with. On a lighter note, I'm so excited to blog about all sorts of random things that come to mind and to invite you into my mind and my life. Love you all! :)
