I am Indeed, Alive! + ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS

Well hello there! It's me, the author of this blog, who apparently has not seen fit to post anything for 3 months (whoops)...

It seems that #life can be a little obtrusive when it comes to ones writing and blogging plans. Like what do you mean I have to go to work and keep up with school and be a responsible adult??

But!! My time of suffering has ended! Finals are done, the semester is over!! LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN!! 

Can anyone believe that we are already to Christmas! I mean, we have 10 days until Christmas!! wHat??! 

Is anyone else super excited?! I love Christmas shopping, and hot coco and snow and cookies and Christmas movies, and basically all that Christmassy stuff :)

Well, I don't have much to say in this particular post, but I thought I would pop in to let you all know that I am alive, and will hopefully be getting back into the swing of blogging! I will return with more Christmassy posts soon! Hope you're all doing amazing! xxx, B

Tell me what you are thinking in the comments! I love talking to you guys!

What do you Assume? Answers!

Hello again to the great Internet! Thank you to you lovely people who gave me some great assumptions! I am finally here to answer them! :)

Movie Critic's Assumptions...

You prefer to be outside than inside.

Definitely! I loooooove the outdoors!! When I can get out I love to hike, or just sit in the sun and enjoy being outside. 

Your favorite color is pink.

Close. I think my favorite color is yellow, and then purple, and then blue, and then pink. It is up there in the favorites :)

You are most comfortable with a camera in your hand.

100%! I hate going anywhere without my camera!!

You love to sing.

Ooh spot on with this one! I love singing so much! It's actually pretty uncommon for me to ever not have music playing, and driving is the best because I get long periods of time when I can sing as much as I want ;) 


Catie's Assumptions...

Yours Myers-Briggs personality type is INFP.

I'm actually not completely sure what my exact Myers Briggs personality is, but I think I'm INFJ :)

Lucy Maud Montgomery is one of your tip-top favorite authors.

Yes! I loooooove L.M. Montgomery! Her books are just so beautiful and sweet and just such perfection!! (especially The Blue Castle!! If you haven't read it, you need to!)

You are 5 feet and 3 or 4 inches tall.

Very, very close! I am 5 Feet and 5 inches tall :D

Your most read genres are classic literature, fantasy, & historical fiction.

I read mostly Historical Fiction, but also quite a bit of Fantasy and Classic Lit. I didn't used to be a huge Fantasy fan, but I've slowly been getting into that more recently, and I enjoy classic literature but sometimes I have a harder time getting through it because of the old language.   

You like kittens.

I loooooove kittens!! ^.^

You are 19 years old.

Ah, am I though? The world will never know... ;)

You enjoy watching period dramas.

Indeed! Indubitably! Anything Period Drama is quite my cup of tea! 

You love Winnie the Pooh.

Aww Winnie the Pooh is my childhood! I will always love Winnie the Pooh!

You like the Broadway musical "Newsies".

I actually have never seen the Broadway version, but I would like to! I've watched the Disney version, and while it's not the worlds most amazing movie, I do enjoy it. The dancing is fun, and there's nothing wrong with a room full of dancing newsies ;)

And there you have it!! Thank you for questions peeps!! I'm sorry that I've been so inactive lately!! I'm going to try and get on a better schedule soon! Hope you all have a fabulous day!! xxxx, B

I am Indeed, Alive + What do you Assume?

Hello to all my fellow peeps out there!! Yes, I am still alive, and yes, I have successfully not blogged in almost two months! 

So I'm hoping in the future to establish some kind of form of schedule on my little blog, but life is crazy, peeps. Work and Summer School and more work and lot of other things tend to get in the way a little bit. 

But anywho! Since I'm kind of jumping back into the swing of things, I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and do a post that's been hovering around the blogosphere for awhile now. I want you all to comment any assumptions you may have about me and I will answer them in my next post! This seems a pretty appropriate post as well seeing as how I am rather new to the blog community and I'm sure you'd all like to get to know me a bit better! 

So feel free to comment whatever assumptions you can possibly think of and I will answer them as best I can! :D Hope you're all well!! xxxx, B

I'm a Writer

I am a writer (yes I know that was the title, hush)

I have been a writer for as long as I can remember. I remember "writing" books at about age six, by just drawing the pictures for the book, and then narrating them myself. At eight, words began to be added. When I was fourteen, I began my first actual attempt to write a novel. Unfortunately, that particular book didn't make it very far, thought I didn't lose the spark for writing. After that however, I went through bit of a lull, as I just felt such a lack of inspiration. The need to write was still there, but the ideas weren't. 

Then, about two years ago, I met my best friend, and she urged me back to the page, and reminded me just how much I missed writing. And then I finally sat down, and I wrote!! And I wrote, and wrote and wrote! And the ideas came back, and characters began to appear, and worlds reopened, and the plot bunnies multiplied! And let me tell you, there is no greater sensation.

All this long history is to say, I can never exactly remember a time when I didn't want to write. When I didn't feel the need to write. When I didn't have characters and entire worlds bouncing around inside my head. When I didn't feel the need to get the stories out of me and onto a page. 

And I can't imagine ever being without that feeling, without the need to write. I mean, to you normal non-writer people out there, what do you think about? Your brain must have so much free time! It's simply unfathomable to me that there are people out there who are not planning their next plot twist, or fangirling over their own characters, or deciding who to kill next! *que evil laughter*

Writing is part of my being, of my identity. Quiet shy characters, and incredibly snarky sass masters, and villains and heroes all rolled up into one person. Just little me. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Writing is my passion, and I'll always love it. 

I don't really have a specific reason for writing this rambly little post. I guess it's sort of just to express how much I love the little writer in me. The creative piece of my brain that is wandering through castles in Scotland, or dangling her legs off a rusty fire escape, or exploring Neverland. The little part of me that is always devising new scenes and thinking up the perfect word to use. The part that will forever be a writer :) xxxx   

In Which I Begin a New Venture

And so it begins! It's January, the beginning of 2019, and hopefully, the beginning of a new venture! I've been thinking about starting this blog for awhile now, and what better time to start it than the New Year! 

I suppose I should begin by introducing myself. My name is Bella, and I'm a photographer, a fan girl, a writer, a social introvert, and a great many other things that would take far to long to list. I love Jesus, and hope to show him in my work, writing and everyday life. 

I can be a bit crazy at times, and I probably use too many gifs. I'm a bit low key obsessed with Downton Abbey and Period Dramas in general. Chai tea lattes and coffee shops make me very happy. I probably listen to too much music, I kinda have it playing all day, everyday. *shrugs* ;) 

All things videography and photography are my passion, so you will be seeing quite a bit of it. Hopefully this blog will be a spring board for sharing my work. I aspire to someday create films, but for now, I think sharing on this blog will be quite satisfactory. At the moment, I have no professional camera *sad sigh* so I make do with my iphone. But someday, my friends! 

If you wish to know a little more about this crazy authoress, I shall direct you to the 'Tis Meself! page :)

I guess now I have to hit that orange publish button. So here we go! Aesthete Journals becomes a real blog! I'm so happy you are here and I do hope you stick around for the ride!!
