Safe & Sound (Vlog#3)

ChArLeY BrOoKe




This is me & my girl T-Swift (Taylor Swift) singing 
Safe & Sound
If I could have any talent like ever it would be to be musically talented.
To be able to sing amazingly.
Bear with my singing here or plug your ears!

LoVeLiEs...
I kind of like these Vlogs for the time being so I hope you do too.
HAHA I can't sing to save my life.
It's awful.
So just ignore my foolish bravery.
I've always wanted to sing in public so here is my chance!
I'm taking it!
Mind you no one could see it or billions...
Here goes nothing though.
And of course I'll leave you with some quotes:

"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do."

"What if we could see the effect before the cause?"

"Sometimes it hurts so much that you feel like your chest will cave in and the only thing stopping it are the gasps of air you take in between the tears."

"Here is to all the sleepless nights
When I daydream at midnight about things
that I forget yet are now talking with the stars
When I danced like crazy to the music of my
floorboards creeking
When I sat on my bed with the windows open and soaked
up every drop of moonlight until
my skin was a silvery tone.
When the dawn came and scolded me for the bags under my 
starstudded eyes.
Here is to all the sleepless nights."

"It's not about getting a chance.
It's about taking a chance."

"Sometimes instead of opening doors, words close them."

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds'. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting it's sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens. But it is never gone."
-Rose Kennedy

"Standing alone is better than standing with people who hurt you."

"It brings tears to my eyes when I think about how hard I'm trying to just be happy."

"I stare up into the dark with an ache in my chest that makes it hard to breathe. But not hard to think."
-Cassia, Matched

"Love is not affectionate feeling but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
-C.S. Lewis

"I was struggling and alone. I cannot go back to that world, to that shell of a life."
-Tyler Knott Gregson

"If you're really listening, if you're awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; it's purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold evermore wonders."
-Andrew Harvey

"I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women, when they love, give everything."
-Oscar Wilde

"Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't mean you love them any less. Sometimes it even makes you love them more."
-The Last Song

"Hey may like you. He probably does. He probably thinks about you all the time. But that isn't what matters. What matters is what he's doing about it, and what he's doing about it is nothing. And if he's doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn't do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life."

"As I look back on my life, I realize that every time I thought I was being REJECTED from something good, I was actually being RE-DIRECTED to something better."

"Courage, dear heart."
-C.S. Lewis

"When you lose someone. It stays with you. Always reminding you of how easy it is to get hurt."

Remember lovelies,
music is always there for you too, even when people aren't.

Thanks For The Memories






Lovelies
Happy late Thanksgiving :)
I have sooo much to be thankful for.
Especially each and every single one of you.
My followers and readers.
You.
I am thankful for you.
You inspire me and this Inspiration Nation is for you.
There aren't words to describe how much room you fill in my heart. 
I think about all of you even if I don't know each of you.
I appreciate your love for me and taking the time to read what I write even if it's insignificant.
Thank you.
I am always always always here for you.
The question on everyone's mind on Thanksgiving is what are you thankful for?
My answer is a question: what aren't I thankful for?
Okay, obviously I'm not grateful, and I dislike, bad things such as war, hate, crime, indifference, pain, intolerance, suffering, etc, but in a way I am thankful for it all.
Everything.
Life.
Love.
The world.
The stars.
The universe.
Most of all our dear Heavenly Father who created it all who gave this to us and our savior Jesus Christ's atonement and example of love for all.
Without dark there would be no light.
Without suffering there would be no compassion.
Without the bad, we wouldn't know or appreciate the good.
Our Savior is the best example of all that I love, the good stuff, and pure selflessness because He is perfect and made it possible in this life for all of our suffering, hardships, sadness, and trials to be overcome. 
He gave his life to save us.
Everything happens for a reason.
All is and will be well.
I know it's cliche and I say it all the time, but it's cliche for a reason and it's true.
Life may seem unfair at times and downright impossible, but it's just an illusion. All the wrongs will be made right in the end.
Our trials help us grow, bring us together, realize we need each other, help us love and appreciate life, everyone, everything.
They make us stronger and turn us into our best selves if we do our parts, stay strong, have faith, patience, help others, and never give up but just keep pushing through with all it takes and holding on.
We will all get our happily ever after and for this I am thankful and grateful for everything... not just today but everyday with all of me.
(I know not everyone has the same religious beliefs as I do. I do not apologize for expressing my views and beliefs on my blog so freely. I speak what I know to be true. I do however respect and appreciate and love all of my readers who feel differently or have different beliefs. I am thankful for the freedom we have to be able to express our views and beliefs and practice them, this is yet another blessing.)
Continuing on...
Family is most important... you can't spell fam(ily) without ily-I Love You. I have the most amazing friends and family that I love with all of my heart and am blessed beyond the slightest comprehension to have in my life. I would give everything and do anything for them.
I love that Thanksgiving brings families and all of us together. 
Thank you lovelies.

What did you do for Thanksgiving?!
I'd love to hear about it :)

Here are some pre-Thanksgiving (Thanksgiving-Eve) pictures Imma share with you!
Me & the lovely Paige. 
Friends help friends bake Thankgiving dinner haha.
Paige & I helped my mom make the most amazing pumpkin pies ever.

Charley and Paige

Betty Crocker/housewife (my amazing mom) baking some of our Thanksgiving dinner.

Of course the boys just watched and goofed off while the girls did all the work... typical haha
My stepbrother Colton, stepdad, and stepbro Tanner.

 Okay I chopped this celery for the stuffing. I know it's random to put a picture of it but there's a story to tell.
So I got a little cocky chopping that and wanted to be all kitchen top chef baker girl and tried to chop it WAY fast like the pros do... yeah I almost cut off my finger haha. Anyways I hate celery. I think it tastes like a Christmas tree... NO I have not ever ate or tasted a Christmas tree, I just think it takes like a Christmas tree smells if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Paige cut the onions and diced them. Poor girl! She was crying so hard because of the onions. Her eyes were red and she was temporarily blinded. What a great friend to help and get battle wounds from making Thanksgiving dinner with me. 

 Aw presh... mom & stepdad

Haha silly me showing off my new outfit (thanks mom!)

Anatomy of a Nation running on Inspiration

loVelieS


I am a neat freak. 
I like things to be organized.
I've decided to try something new to make my posts more efficient and different in a good way.
I want each week to be the same but not... better.
Each week I will post these entries on a different day: 
*An old journal entry I find relevant.
*A "What Inspires You" series talking about what inspires different people (you, friends, family, celebrities, and the nation).
*Inspiring pictures.
*New quotes.
*Something about my life/me in the present.
*A book or movie that I adore and inspires me.
*Maybe some more fiction writing... 
*Once a month Q & A answer your questions. 
There's a basic outline of how each day will focus on one of the following. 
If you have any ideas or suggestions on what you would like to see more of just let me know! I'd love to hear your opinions :) Comment below or e-mail me at chrichar@isu.edu. I'm always looking for new quotes, stories, and what inspires you. After all, this is the Inspiration Nation and you are all members lovelies! When it comes to questions, ask me anything your heart desires, and soon I will answer them. There are two options when it comes to me doing my Q&A sessions. I can answer your questions here in a post or on a webcam/video. Comment below on what you'd prefer! 
Nation, I love you lovely and am ALWAYS here for you. Life can be challenging but love always wins, anything is possible, keep dreaming and the Inspiration Nation will always be here for your inspirational boost of emotional CPR. 
With Love,
Charley Brooke
