Last year, I posted one of my favourite posts that I've ever put up on this blog - the Emoji Tag. The tag began with Troye Sivan who came up with the idea. With the Emoji Tag, you pick five emojis that best describe who you are as a person and then you explain why you chose that emoji. After that, you tag three people who you want to take part in the tag.
A lot of things can change in the span of one year which is why I thought it would be a great idea to do this tag again to see how much I've changed as a person. Here we go!
Thought Bubble Emoji
I can say that, in the past year, I've grown more reflective. Taking a step back and reevaluating the situation at hand has helped me a lot. It's allowed for me to really process the situation and react to them properly. Reflecting has been very good for me and my walk with God as well. By reflecting on the situation, seeing and understanding how God is working in my life through the situation that I am going through becomes easier. As a result, submitting and surrendering to God becomes easier for me to do.
Sprout Emoji
I can definitely say that I have grown a lot over the past year. I've been through quite a lot that has allowed for me to grow more as a person. The growth that I am talking about here is not the physical growth, but the mental and spiritual growth.
As some of you might know, I am quite an anxious person. I started experiencing panic attacks in my third of year of high school. I become anxious quite often and having frequent panic attacks didn't really help my deal with such an academically stressful year. Two years later and I still get anxious from time to time, but I've learned how to handle my anxiety much better. I think that there is growth in that sense.
As for my spiritual growth, I can definitely say that my spiritual walk with God has grown. Over the past year, my relationship with God was tested multiple times and each trial I faced would be harder than the last. My faith in God was shaken, but in spite of all the difficulties I faced, I always found myself going back to God. Because of all those tests, I learned to turn to God more and to constantly communicate with Him through prayer and my devotions. I have been trying to work on that and working on it has definitely contributed to my growth as a Christian.
Three Eighth Notes Emoji
Not much has changed with my relationship to music. I'm still into music. I listen to music everyday and I would honestly sing every single moment if it weren't so tiring and annoying to some people. I'm still into musicals and if the previous sentence didn't tell you that, then I don't know what will. I sort of know how to play the piano and the guitar, but please don't make me do it. What I am trying to say is that music takes up a lot of my life. If my life were turned into a pie chart, music would probably have one of the biggest pieces.
Cry Laughing Emoji
Since I last did this tag, I have been laughing more. I guess I've just been placed in a lot of funny situations or maybe I just like to laugh a lot more now. It is just so great to laugh and I enjoy it a lot (but who doesn't like to laugh?). I love it when people are so happy that when they laugh, they are crying already or you can't hear them laugh anymore because they are hitting those Mariah Carey whistle notes already. Also, apparently, my laugh is funny. I take pride in my laughter so here's an emoji to represent it.
Notebooks Emoji
I'm the type of person who loves to buy notebooks even if I already have five other notebooks in my drawer waiting to be used. I think it's because I love writing on notebooks, taking notes, and just writing in general. I've developed a habit of always bringing a pen and a notebook with me when I can. While at a coffee shop, I would listen to music, bring out my notebook, and write down all my ideas. I could honestly do that for hours and be completely fine with it. That could honestly be my aesthetic.
Those are the five emojis that I am going to be using to describe myself for this tag. Doing this tag again reminded me of how great of an exercise on reflection this tag is. Looking back at the past year and seeing how much has changed personally makes me happy. To see how far I have come makes me excited for the future that God has in store for me. I think it is important to note also that if you feel that you haven't changed much in a certain period of time, don't feel disappointed at yourself. You are a work-in-progress; God is still working on you and will continue to do so. Just do your part in the changing process to the best of your abilities and God will do the rest.
As I mentioned earlier, the Emoji Tag involves tagging three other people to take part in it which is why I am tagging Elisa Aquino, Cat Ao, and Bella Ante. They are all bloggers so all their links will be below! This post was quite lengthy but I hope you still enjoyed reading it. Also, I am really sorry about the drawings. I am not skilled at drawing but I just wanted to try out the new blackboard that I got for this blog! Anyway, I have loads planned for this month. I have got loads of blog posts and photos that I cannot wait to share, but that is all for now!
Until Next Time!
