Lys's Sneak Peak

By

                                         


Alright so I’m here... finally made it here. At this point in my life where I’m living the city girl dream, where I’m a full-time working adult, and where I’m partnered with one of my good ole college pals and writing this introductory blog post... WHY? Throwback for a second, when I was in high school I wanted to be a motivational speaker. Yes, me wanting to go out there and inspire the world... BUT at that time in my life I felt like I didn’t experience anything THAT serious to be a motivational speaker. Then I graduated high school and the tables turned. 

Now, before I go in and tell you how and why the tables turned, just know no matter what I’ve been through, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way because I wouldn’t have ended up living the life I’m living today. Now, my story isn’t insanely drastic, but it’s a STORY let me tell you. Know, no matter WHAT your story is, it’s YOUR story. Doesn’t matter how big or small, it makes you YOU. 

Some of you probably have an idea what I’m talking about. Some of you have absolutely no clue. Just to give a little sneak peak, I grew up Catholic, went to Catholic school for 11 years, raised to be the perfect little Catholic girl... you know the whole no sex before marriage thing. In a way,  trained to be this perfect child and should only be in relationships with white catholic boys... ALL that fun stuff. Then I made a left turn ...LITERALLY... went left field if you’re picking up what I’m putting down. My honest, innocent, young self at the time decide to be truthful to my mom (only parent in my life at the time). Now that’s another story. My 17-year-old self was then punished, disowned, and shamed for the curiosity of my sexuality by the only parent I had. Now, there’s a lot more to say about that. But, the reason why I joined this blog is to maybe, finally let my story be out in the open. Or maybe even to come to terms with my story. Not only that, but to show others that it’s MORE than okay to be YOU no matter what YOU is...

Pals That Blog

By
The Jess & Lyss friendship goes WAY back to our college degenerate days. We both joined the same sorority our sophomore year of college, had the same major, and of course jammed out to the same music. We became closer, made the wildest of memories, and eventually had Jess & Lyss therapy sessions together. We live very similar lifestyles but at the same time, we have VERY different experiences that have shaped us into who we are today. These experiences have brought us closer together to form a friendship neither of us would replace. This blog was originally a one man show. By adding another blogger, we aspire to reach a larger audience as our ultimate goal is to motivate others. Live On is now reconstructed to share our stories, our DIFFERENT stories, that we hope one day someone can benefit from. To let someone know that they are not alone. To encourage others to keep on going. To maybe even save a life. This world is full of obstacles... challenges... but hey, we're in it

A Christmas Miracle

So if anyone knows a little bit about me, I grew up just with my mom. My parents divorced when I was three years old and my dad got remarried and had three kids. Now, my brothers were never really in my life until about a couple months ago... why? God only knows. I was just a kid... of course growing up I   favored my mom because she did stick it out and raise me this entire time. But it wasn’t fair to me. I wasn’t really allowed to be a part of my brothers lives. Now the big question is why? I could go on and blame my dad and his wife but the real answer is that I couldn’t tell ya. Time went by, I got older. The oldest brother actually reached out to me. It was like he knew it wasn’t my fault, because it really wasn’t... I wanted to be there... I prayed about it every night. All I ever wanted was to be around and have that brother/sister relationship, be that good role model, be there for THEM. Like I said a couple months ago things changed. My dad reached out, he apologized, he start

New Beginnings

To start,  A check in... How are you? How was your year? Most importantly what have you learned and what are you taking into 2021?  I have to ask myself the same questions. How am I? Fine. How was my year? Crazy. What have I learned and what am I taking into 2021? You have to take care of YOU first. I am taking that along with good, positive vibes into 2021... no matter how crazy this next year may be. I don't really know what to expect this year, I guess no one does. I think it will definitely be another year of change and adaptability. Which isn't always a bad thing, it just may be a challenging thing. But who isn't up for a good challenge every once in a while? To be better, these questions are important to ask yourself, in my new outlook on things at least.  - Everything is so uncertain in life. I can't even put into words how crazy that thought is to me. We wake up everyday without knowing what could possibly happen, good or bad. I have a hard time accepting this.
