The Story Behind "No Spotlight Needed"

"No Spotlight Needed"

I have attempted to start blogs before and I've gone through dozens of names. This time though, it's different. A quick History:

I like to think I'm not too much of an attention hog. However, being a dancer, over the years I learned to love the spotlight. It's not something I developed, it's a part of my personality that was brought to the surface. Many times, my actions or lack of action was due to how I thought it would look to other people. Everything  I did was to make people like me. I didn't tell jokes to make people laugh, I did it to make people think I was funny. I'm ashamed of it, but often when I talked about Christ is was so people would think I was a good Christian. In all reality, I was drowning every day in doubt and fear.

Recently, I have realized how wrong this attitude is. My life should be focused on my relationship with Christ and what He thinks of me alone.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my time in the spotlight. But I don't need it.

Those who Shine from within, don't need a spotlight. And when all the glitter fades, there will still be stardust in her veins.

I also love quotes. This is one of my favorites and the inspiration for my blog name. Because, this time, I'm not writing to become internet famous or anything, I just need a place to get my thoughts and feelings out. If I don't, I just might go crazy.

Sincerely,
Cait

Get to Know Me!

So, if I'm going to be baring my soul and innermost thoughts on here, you should at least know a bit about me. First of all, here's a picture from prom:

Also, here's 15 facts about me.

1. I'm 18 years old.

2. I'm a freshman at Pearl River Community College.

3. I'm a sinner saved by Grace.

 4. I love my little Missionary Baptist Church.

5. I'm pursuing a degree in either Elementary Education or Hospitality/Tourism. (Hardest decision ever because they're such different fields.)

6. I have four beautiful baby cousins who I love to spoil.

7. I'm a HUGE fan of Musical Theatre.

8. I play the piano.

9. I'm a Ravenclaw.

10. I have a dog named Foxy and a cat named Pippin.

11. I overthink a lot.

12. I try to be an extremely positive person but it's not always easy.

13. My favorite number is 23.

14. I've never had a boyfriend, been kissed, or even been on a date.

15. I try to be very creative and crafty.

So that's the basics of who I am. But you wanna know a secret? Not just about me but about all people. I could list a thousand facts and it would only scratch the surface of who I am.  If you'd like to know who I am, you're just going to have to stick around. Because just like everyone else, I'm a work in progress and no list can really tell you the essence of me.

Love, Cait.

Documenting Life

I often say that what I want most out of life is to be remembered. I think this is why I so love to take pictures and videos. I simply love to document the things around me. Life is happening and there's so much to see and do at this stage in my life! I'm excited to one day go through all the old pictures with my grandkids and tell them story after story. To look back and see the thoughts and beliefs I wanted to share.
  Anyway, so that's what I'm doing here. I hope you'll enjoy the ride.
