So I thought for my first post on here I could give kind of a backstory of me. I guess you might wanna know at least a little bit about the person ranting....no? Well. I'll do it anyway ;)
So, I'm Savannah Love. My birth date is January 30, 1994. I was born and raised in Southern California, but lived/went to school in Northern California for a year.
So... I guess you could call me a "California Girl"
Or maybe that's just Katie Parry.

About 7 years ago, I was diagnosed with depression. About 7 MONTHS ago I was diagnosed with anxiety as well. I was having panic attacks, and could barely drag myself out of bed. I have struggled with a lot in my life, within myself, as well as with other people, and I've seen a lot of blog posts that have really helped me in one way or another. So, the other day, while I was talking to my best friend, she suggested to me that I start my own blog..... ------------>
I think it will be really helpful for me to write things out when I'm overwhelmed with feelings, whatever feelings they may be. If I can help someone else along the way, that's an added bonus :)
I'm not usually a very open or trusting person, but I'm hoping to change that. I get embarrassed easily, but I don't WANT to care what others think. I'm on my own path to happiness and I'm doing all I can to not get lost on the way, or let anyone distract me from what matters. So, here I am. I now have a place to rant my feelings away. I think it will be fun. For me at least. Keep reading if you dare...
Aren't we the cutest? |
My family means EVERYTHING to me. Though they sometimes drive me nuts, I would do absolutely anything for them in a heartbeat .
I hated high school. I actually hated all of school except the one year of college I have under my belt. I am a very friendly person, but I really only have a few people that I consider myself very close to. Once I love you though, you probably can't get rid of me. I love too much, but that's not ALWAYS a bad thing.....right?
I am way too obsessed with Disney. That company just gives me all kinds of feelings and I just can't get enough.
I mean, look......anything Disney is just too perfect.
I'm very religious, but that doesn't mean I'm not friendly with people who aren't :) I recently returned from serving a mission for the church I was raised in, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon church. I served from April 2014 through April 2015 in the Utah Salt Lake City South Mission!
These are the boundaries when I was serving, they've since changed quite a bit. |
That's where my heart has been ever since...Salt Lake City, Utah.
I haven't always been an avid believer that there is a God, and that He loves me, but after all of my sufferings and learning experiences, and a lot lot lot lot LOT of prayer, I finally came to realize the truth, and that is what has helped me become who I am today.
I have a hard time letting things go, which is something I am working on. I get hurt easily, but I also forgive easily, sometimes way too easily. I'm sure many will agree that once you've been hurt purposely, a lot, there comes a point where it's hard to not always assume the worst; that everyone is TRYING to hurt you. Again, something I'm working on, and honestly I have gotten a lot better at handling this, which is definitely a step in the right direction :)
I was born to perform. I may not be the best there is, but there is nothing I love to do more than get up on a stage and perform. The thrill it gives me gets me through this crazy thing we call life. I can't explain it. You other theatre geeks will understand what I mean.
