I took two pictures. I’m not wearing make-up. I think I look better with it on, but that it strips me of my identity. It makes me feel cloned. My mom thinks I look just like my dad (I feel twelve when I type ‘mom’ or ‘dad’). I’m only beginning to realize what it means to be an adult – while stressful, it’s a lot more manageable than I expected.

I’m that one girl who is always trying to see things as glass half full. Don’t worry, I know this kind of person to be annoying too. I’ll probably lose my member’s only jacket for this one, but: we positive people love to be really cynical every one in a while. Behind closed doors of course…

I have vivid memories of seeing the cashiers in the grocery store as a child and thinking to myself “I want a job where I get to press buttons that make satisfying noises.” This my friends, is an example of BEING NUTS.

I don’t have the willpower to settle for less. My ego is the dominant one in our relationship.

I have an obsession with cardigans and pumpkins, springtime. I love baking scones.

When I start having an anxiety attack, I remind myself of how lucky I am to be alive. It makes everything seem so trivial. I’m going to die one day. Maybe finishing college in four years is not a big deal. DUH.

Let me know if laying on a bed, lights out, sun down, candles burning, music pumping through your veins, sounds good to you. We may be able to arrange something.

    Candles and cardigans are both severely underrated.

    We should be friends.

Blueberries. Big, fat, pop-in-your-mouth blueberries. Fresh, organic, hand-picked blueberries. Cold sour cream blueberry pie (watch for the recipe this week!). Whole frozen blueberries in 1% milk.
