 Haunted Plantation  This Halloween my friends and I are going to a haunted plantation house that is abandoned. It is located in the Bayou in Louisiana.  It is 5 days before Halloween.  My friends and I love old haunted buildings.  We have been buying supplies when we aren't going to our college classes.  We go to old abandoned buildings and investigate the back story of the history of each location.  On our investigations we record and make videos that we upload to our social media accounts which has started gaining traction over the years. We have stocked up on food, drinks, batteries for our flashlights, and other necessities. My friends and I are 20yrs old and it's our second year of college.  We are taking film classes and psychology classes along with basic classes. This week feels like it is dragging. We are ready for the weekend. Halloween falls on a Friday this year. I pack up Thursday night. After our classes Friday afternoon we go to th...

 Some people in life aren't meant for you. You will constantly have people coming and going in and out of your life. Not everyone is made for you. That is okay. Do not blame yourself for others actions.  Sometimes it isn't that they are bad people.  There are times people just grow apart.  Sometimes you lose contact to not ever hear from them again.  Others it is a learning experience. There are ones who don't respect boundaries.  Others might use you. The ones who prey and take advantage of you. Some who lie. Others who walk all over you.  Don't change to fit in. Don't bow down to others. Don't think you deserve bad because you don't deserve bad. Let people have their opinion of you and ignore them. Keep being the best you for you. There are good people in a world full of hate.

 Don't let others be the reason that you aren't happy in your life.  It's true when they say misery loves company.  Many are going to talk badly about you, start rumors,  and gossip about you. Don't entertain them.  The more you entertain them they feed off of it. They thrive on the attention.  You're giving them what they want.  They want a reaction.  These type of people usually think the world revolves around them. Some like to play the victim for more attention.  These people have narcissistic behavior.  They live for chaos and discord. Don't give them control.  You are in control of you and they are in control of themselves.  We can't control anyone's behavior other than our own. It's okay to defend yourself and move on.  You've got the emotional dumpsters who will dump all over you and not listen to you. That falls back under the category that they think their problems are either worse than yours and other things. Th...

 Have a wonderful September beauties!! May your goals and dreams become a reality.  I hope that this month is a happy one for you.  

 Want to help support me buy one of my books on Kindle or on Amazon in paperback.  .99 cents on Kindle.  Another way to help support is share this with family and friends. You might have family or friends who like to read. They can also share it. https://www.amazon.com/author/amystark  https://www.amazon.com/author/angelicamy

 Self care is important for you.  Taking care of you for you is important.  You won't have energy if you spread yourself thin and take care of everyone else but you.  It is not selfish.  Whoever tells you that is lying.  Stop listening to those people.  Do things like take a relaxing bath or shower.  Sit outside.  Take deep breaths. Be lazy for the day if you choose to be. The chores aren't running away and will be back when you decide to do them. Read that book, buy that outfit,  do your hair the way you want,  eat your favorite foods, watch shows or movies, or treat yourself to nice things. Do stuff that relaxes you. Give yourself time to breathe because sometimes life is full of stress and struggles. Take a deep breath and exhale the bs in your life. Make time for you.  Tell people during you time that you cannot be disturbed. If you have kids you might have to wait until they are at school or asleep.  For you parents o...

 Sometimes people say they'll be there yet they aren't there. Tell you that they will help and expect something in return or not even there. Got ones that are there when it's convenient for them.  Sometimes you check up on people and they don't check up on you. Phone works both ways. Coming to see each other works both ways. People need to stop with the excuses. I understand life gets busy and things happen.  That doesn't mean you can't take 2 minutes out of your day to ask family and friends if they are okay or tell them you love or care about them. Life isn't promised to us. Have them BBQ 's, picnic,  go out to bowl, play games, sleep overs, movie nights,or whatever.  Make time for each other. Help one another.  Support each other.  Build each other up. Don't have expectations.  Don't expect things in return.  Be an ear to listen.  Show up or be there when it counts. Tell them you love and miss them. People aren't mind readers.  I...

 There is a right way and wrong way to give constructive criticism.  It is all in the way it's delivered and much more.  If you are picking away at someone that is not the right way.  There is no need to destroy someone.  You can do it in a way that doesn't come off as rude or abrasive.  Also make sure the person might be in the right head space because they might be going through something and it may do harm than good. I am going to list examples of what not to do and maybe the other way you could be helpful rather than destroying a person.   Example- Your book is so bad and your grammar is horrible so I won't ever read your work again.  (Don't say that. Maybe say, You might want to take a look into your grammar errors and due to that it did or didn't take away from the story plot. Or if it is bad say something like this book just wasn't something I cared for.) Example- Your music sounds like garbage and your sound is killing my ears. ( You ...

 When working on your dreams and goals put it into effect. Make small goals to work towards it. Put yourself out there. Do what works for you. It isn't going to work if you aren't trying.  Just keep trying and try again even if you fail. Let others help you if you need help. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Small things may happen until you get the results you want. You can make it a reality with small goals and hard work. If you don't try or do anything them it will always be the same. If you fail it isn't the end. Yes, it might be hard. The only person standing in the way of your success is you. You can do it if you choose to do it. Have some hope and faith in yourself that you can accomplish your dreams and goals.

 Don't let others walk all over you. If you let them walk all over you they will continue to do so. Don't bend over backwards trying to please everyone and make everyone happy. That is not your job. Your energy will end up depleted and you'll be left wondering why you feel exhausted all of the time. It is their job to make themselves happy as it is your own to make you happy.  Yes, it is okay to listen and it's okay if you vent back and forth. It is not okay when they don't listen to you.  It is not okay if they don't ask you if you can handle listening to what they have going on. Emotional dumping is not okay. It is okay to set boundaries.  It is okay to tell people no. It is okay to ask for help. It is not okay for people to treat you bad. It is not okay for people to gaslight you. It is not okay for people to make you feel less than what you are.  You are allowed to feel what you want. Your feelings are valid. It is not okay to keep excusing bad behavior....

 Do what makes you happy in your life. Don't rely on others for your happiness it is not their job to make you happy.  If you don't like something work on it, set goals, and keep trying.  It is okay to fail. Try again.  Work on self care. Take care of your mental and physical health.  Take naps. Read books. Listen to music.  Sit outside for 30 minutes a day. Relax in a bath or shower. Eat the food you like. Cut people who don't care about you or love you. Cut people out who aren't supportive.  Surround yourself with people who want to talk to you, call you, text you, and make time for you. Ones who actually do ask how you are doing and check up on you. You're not to old to go back to school,  get that job, write that book, write that music, create new things, or to learn new things. Change be scary but sometimes it is necessary so we can grow and not stay stuck. Do small things to work your way up. Believe in yourself and give yourself a chance. D...

 Have a wonderful August.  May all your dreams and goals come true.

Volume2 New Release  https://a.co/d/dpIhkyR  

  Secrets of the Ancient Family Volume 1 Secrets First page. Chapter1 It's a dark stormy night and everything looks so ominous. The clouds look dark and purple with a foreboding look. I am sitting in my bedroom with my girlfriend's watching horror movies and the electricity goes out. I light candles that are sitting on my nightstand next to my bed. It is the week before Halloween, and we do a movie marathon the week of Halloween every year. It has been a tradition for the four of us for the past 5 years. "What are we going to do now?" Anna asks me. "We can drink wine and tell spooky stories, " I tell her. " I thought we could talk about the Halloween party, " Jade said looking over at me. "Have we even sent out invitations?" Layla ask me. "I sent them off a week ago. We need to go shopping and set everything up the night before." Layla and Jade will both be bringing their boyfriends to the pa...

 Signs all around  It may be a song A feeling  Something you see driving down the road  A conversation with a friend  In a book you read  A walk in nature  These signs may be a warning  Might be a reminder  Could be a number of things  May come in a dream  Don't ignore the signs  By-Me
