    Hello and welcome back to Liveliness my amazing readers.

    This post is about blogging. Fancy that. A blog post about blogging.

    This post is for the three readers that will see this post. Hello, how are you? Go ahead and introduce yourself in the comments if you like.

    Blogging is hard. Mostly because hardly anyone reads my blog. I don’t say that to guilt trip anyone, it’s just a fact. I thought that by now I would have at least a few subscribers, but I have one subscriber. And that one subscriber is me.

    Sometimes I feel like I am speaking into the void, but I keep writing to have a creative outlet, for the off chance that I might connect with someone, and because it gives my days off of work some purpose. For example, writing this blog post will save me from at least twenty minutes of scrolling through YouTube shorts, although I do love them.

    One of the best things about blogging though, is the free AI image generator built into the word press posting software. It has leveled up my game with post images. It summarizes what I have written in the post for me and creates a prompt to make an image that encapsulates what the blog post is about.

    Anyways, if you want to help me on my blogging journey, let me know what I could do to improve my blog posts, I would appreciate the feedback. And let me know what kind of blog post you would like to read in the future.

    What I’ve been loving

    I have a new Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil that I have been liking. It has cleared my skin more than Cetaphil, Neutrogena, or CeraVe, so if those brands aren’t working for you I would suggest looking into Beauty of Joseon.

    I also have this new gold twist ring that I have been loving. It is part of my everyday basic jewelry and goes with everything.

    Weekly Inspiration

    For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

    Moses 1:39

    God’s goal is for us to become immortal and have eternal life. He is good at his job. A reason that you can choose joy in this life is because you are looking forward to what is to come.

    ❤ Have a good week.

  • Ramblings/Lyric Commentary

    Through Me (The Flood) by Hozier

    “Try measure loss, measure the silence of a house
    The unheard footsteps at the doorway, the unemployment of the mouth
    The waking up, having forgotten and remembering again
    The full extent of what forever is”

    By far, my favorite part of the song Through Me (The Flood) by Hozier is the lyrics, “The waking up, having forgotten and remembering again/ The full extent of what forever is.”

    It’s so beautiful to me. It’s a perfect reminder that life extends even when it seems like it’s done. That death is not the end and we will all live on.

    Sometimes I listen to this song in the mornings on my drive to work and I fully relate to “waking up, having forgotten… what forever is.” And this song is the reason that I remember it again. What a way that is to start the day, remembering that you will never run out of chances to be who you want to be.

    For those of you who don’t know, I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And we believe that we will all live on after death. Forever. We are all immortal beings and are simply on earth to learn and to grow. Death is just how we move on to the next stage of life.

    One of my favorite sayings is ‘you live and you learn’ because it is so true. There is nothing we can do except for living and learning. I especially like this quote when it is applied to making a mistake. It says to not worry. That life will keep going when you make a mistake. And you will learn from it. You will get better. It is like when you fell and scraped your knee as a kid. You live on, and have learned one way that things can end up in you scraping your knee so you can be more likely to avoid it in the future.

    That aside, I also like how the song points out trying to comprehend the extent of what forever is. Forever is a LONG time. It’s literally forever. It never ends. It’s like a circle with no beginning or end. Or two mirrors facing each other which reflect each other forever.

    I feel blessed and privileged to be a being that will never end, and am glad to share the world with similar beings!

    I hope this post gave you a little reminder of what forever is! ❤
