thank you for a moment of starting over
when your eyes are opened to a new day
and the tears of yesterday
the anxiety
the feeling that it will never be better
are washed away
in the morning sunlight

my summer list
So I remembered recently that last year I made a list of all the things I took away from Sophomore year. But I really don't want to do that again because I feel like this year I just relearned all those things lol.
Plus this past year was insane. And now it's over and so I'd like to keep moving forward into a slightly less crazy summer.
And I have goals.
Obviously I have the big goals. Get a job, write my college application essays and get those in, get ready for the summer program I'm attending, start plotting/writing my next story (so far it's just got an aesthetic board on Pinterest but that's plotting, right??). But I also have some smaller goals. These aren't so much goals as they are "Things to Do to Recover from the Monstrosity that was Junior Year." The year was so go go go, and I want to get myself back into the habit of doing the little things to take care of myself and sort of reconnect with life and just slooow down.
Here are some of them:
//find new coffee shops near me
//bake
//go to the beach
//laugh
//climb a tree
//make tea extra hot and feel the steam on my face
//branch out music-wise
//drive with the windows down
//write and enjoy it
//exercise
//eat healthier
//let my hair grow long
//go to bed earlier
//light sparklers
//read
//go to the fair
//spend more time with my favorite people
//sit and breathe a while

Hello June
It's the end of another month. IF MONTHS COULD JUST STOP ENDING PLEASE THAT'D BE GREAT THANKS.
SOO much happened this month, I don't even really know where to start. I'll start with life.
LIFE THINGS...
Life things.
There are too many.
I finished my exams successfully. I finished Junior year of high school and went to graduation where my brother was promoted to high school and a lot of my friends threw their caps and tassels into the sky. The last week of school was a rather emotional one, just thinking that this time next year it'll be me leaving.
I spent a lot of time out with friends. I got elected into the student executive council with some of my closest friends and that's getting me really excited about next year. My brother turned thirteen. I helped put on the last dance of the school year, which was SO much fun.
This month was a month of endings. Lots of endings.
ALSO on a lighter note, I've applied for a job at Starbucks! Really hoping that works out.
And I made the most AMAZING strawberry cake cookies on Mother's Day.
WRITING THINGS...
Lol what are words.
I did no work on writing, but one exciting thing that happened is, I think I have a plot for my new story!!
So I'm very happy to have worked that out after like a thousand years.
BOOKISH THINGS...
I've started reading the book of Psalms.
I read The Help!! It's amazing!! Anyone who likes BOOKS please read it, and if you don't like books, shame on you, a pox upon your house, dishonor on your cow.
Not really, just read it cuz it's wonderful.
I also finished The Girl With No Name, and THAT was seriously amazing too! I haven't read a whole lot this school year just for pleasure, and the fact that I finished two incredible books this month is making me happy. If you watched my book vlog these titles should sound familiar.
I went to the library yesterday and got Heartless by Marissa Meyer, and I'M SO EXCITED TO READ THIS!! To all of you who have read it: what did you think??
I'm also rereading Cinder because love <3
MAY WAS...
