RIP Robin Williams

Today we lost one of the world's most beloved actors. Robin Williams was pronounced dead at 12:02 p.m. on Monday, August 11, 2014. The actor's rep Mara Buxbaum had said in a statement that Mr. Williams "Has been battling severe depression of late." Depression is something that isn't easy to overcome. It takes a lot of strength and fighting, and sometimes people don't believe that they can overcome it. I just wanted to tell you that you CAN, you DESERVE to be here alive for so many reasons! There are tons of people who want you here, to see you smile and be happy! I am one of those people! Right now if you are hurting, please please please reach out and call someone. Don't be afraid. Believe it or not there are people who love and care about you. Who want to help YOU. "Suicide is a perminate solution to a temporary problem" -Robin Williams. Today heaven celebrates the welcoming of their new angel. Robin was such a talented artist who brought laughter to our childhood. He will be missed by many, but he will not be forgotten. Thank you for all the joy you brought to us through your movies. Sending out my prayers to the Williams family at this tragic time. May your sould rest in peace Robin Williams. <3

My 1st vlog!

The other week my friend had invitited my sister and I to go on a little beach adventure with her. We went to Ventura beach which is about an hour away from where we live. I've been to many beaches since I do live next to the coast, but Ventura is one of my favorite beaches in California because it's not as crowded as other well known beaches. They also have a place called Main St. with lots of cute litte thrift stores and shops to browse at. I decided this is the perfect opportunity to try and vlog my day at the beach! So I editited and posted a new video this morning about my trip so you should go check it out! Please like and share it! :) http://youtube.com/alliedarling137

Encouraging Thoughts

Hello Darlings! I feel like it's been a while since I've blogged but it has been a hectic few weeks here. So as some of you may know I am a dancer, and if you didn't know well... surprise! This week is when we take everything that we create and learn in the studio the past few months and take it to the theater where we start fix the finishing touches. Now as I may have mentioned earlier that it can get a bit hectic throughout first dress rehearsal at the studio, to moving to the theater and all, but as dancers or even as athletes we must keep a balance within ourselves. Some people can get anxious during this whole transisiton and it's not healthy for a performer. You need to be focused yet calm and most importantly just have fun! These words of encouragement isn't just for you, but for me as well because I go through that also. So I hope that whether you have a performance, a volleyball game, an exam, etc. coming up just keep a steady mind. Everything will turn out great! :)
