a L i t t l e B l u e

You know when

you feel a good s t r e t c h

coming on, so you go for it,

 but can't quite get it to

the e x t e n t  that you

e x p e c t e d so you end

up a little disappointed?

That's kind of how I have

felt about life the past

few days or so . . .

At least you always

feel s o m e w h a t better

after a stretch than

if you hadn't stretched

at all, right? :)

C r e e p e r S t a t u s

I can honestly say,

 I have never wanted to be

 a s t a l k e r so badly before. :)

Now I want to be just like her.

B i t t e r s w e e t

Usually I steer clear

of writing when I am

even slightly fuming, 

but I feel like I just had

a w a v e of life lessons 

tossed my way and I 

need to get a good

grasp on them before

 they fade away.

First of all, that

was so uncalled for. 

To stand up there

in front of the whole

class and openly refuse

to participate in the 

presentation until 

asked to do so by 

the professor and then

continue to throw not just

the project, but everyone 

individually under the bus

and saying the only thing

you got out of it was 

really good c o o k i e s?

Sadly, that just goes

to show more of

your own character

than anyone else.

Originally I felt 

like I wouldn't take

much from this small

group communications

class since I already 

work well with pretty

much anyone I have

ever crossed paths with.

However, it turns out

that sometimes no matter

how hard you try or go

out of your way to 

make things work, some 

people just won't be p l e a s e d,

and that is perfectly fine. 

All that matters is

that I do my best and

what I learn from it,

what I have learned

from my first year 

of college actually,

and how I plan to 

a p p l y it to the 

rest of my life. 

After staying a 

few minutes after

class with the rest of 

my group to clear things

up with the professor,

the guys and I all walked 

out to the parking lot together, 

and when I said "See you later-"

like we always do, I quickly

realized my mistake "-maybe . . .

 If not, good luck with life!"

College has been kind of  

mega b i t t e r s w e e t like that. 

It has given me the opportunity

to get to know such a wide variety

of f a n t a s t i c people, and then 

just like that... they're gone. 

People seem to be coming

 in and out of my life a lot more

 lately, not even just at school.

Although it makes me

semi-sad, it has also

helped me realize that I 

need to be careful not to

take a d v a n t a g e of anyone

at any time in my life. 

People are p r i c e l e s s,

plain and simple,

and I feel like I need

to pay more attention to

everyone I have the

chance to get to know, 

even if it is only 

for a few minutes,

it will be worth it.

Y o u 

are worth it. 

Also, sometimes when I got bored in class I would make a paper crane and stick it on a random car. :)

P h o t o W a l k s

Spring semester is

just about wrapped up!

I have two finals, 

two essays, and one

last presentation all 

due by the end of 

Tuesday and then 

I will have officially

completed my first 

year of college! 

This means s u m m e r 

is literally right 

around the corner,

and I am completely

s t o k e d for everything 

I have planned already!

One of the l i t t l e things

that I absolutely love

about Summer are 

all of the s p o n t a n e o u s

p h o t o   w a l k s  my sisters

and I go on whenever

a few of us happen 

to be home at the 

same time, and I 

just had to share 

some of the pictures 

we got on our first mini 

a d v e n t u r e so far!

M o r n i n g A i r

This morning,

the first thing I 

did was open my 

window to let the 

c r i s p  morning air in

so I could listen to 

the birds as I started

on my psych homework.

That right there

is  s i m p l e  happiness 

and definitely blog worthy. :)

In fact, I 

haven't been 

writing much 

because I started

off my blog with so

many deep thoughts

and good posts that I've

felt I couldn't post

until I had something

even better to say. 

But I've decided 

that isn't realistic,

I want this blog to

truly  r e f l e c t  who I am,

and  I want this blog to

also be something 

I can look back on

and see how I have

ended up where ever

I will be with  w h o e v e r

is there with me. 

Also, with Summer 

just around the corner,

you can expect 

more  p i c t u r e s,

starting today! 

F e e l G o o d A n y w a y

Life can be

quite difficult

sometimes, 

especially since 

people are such 

complicated, 

l o v e l y creatures.

 

We depend on 

one  another for 

stability and strength,

to learn and to love, 

and to simply 

                                     b e   t h e r e.

Unfortunately, 

no matter how much

you trust someone, 

(or even how much 

they trust you,)

it isn't always

e n o u g h.

Perhaps

if we're lucky,

we might find a few

people in our life who 

will choose to stay

by our side, despite all 

the fragile differences and 

d i s t a n c e s   that develop

 inevitably over time.

The tricky part is, 

we might not even realize

that they are there, 

because we don't know

what it would be like 

without them. 

(If that makes sense?)

Until then,

I am just as  g r a t e f u l

 for every person that has

drifted in and out of my life,

for I have no doubt that

they have each given me

an opportunity to better myself

whether or not they realized it.

Sometimes it might have 

been because I had to 

pick up the  p i e c e s,

or they made me 

realize that I 

deserved much more.

 

The very best though

are the ones who made me 

a s p i r e to be more like them

in one way or another. :)

T h a t M o m e n t W h e n . . .

. . . you realize your life is 

headed in the right 

d i r e c t i o n

in just about every

possible way.

If you haven't had

this moment yet,

a s k yourself why

and just do whatever

it is you need to

to get there.

Because although

I now know I

have a lot of

h a r d  w o r k
  ahead of me, I almost

cannot wait to see

what is around

the corner in

my life after

this realization.
