Once

Once there was a girl who was tired of school. She was tired of feeling frustrated, especially with classes and especially with people. And she had zero motivation to do anything besides be an adventurer.

She had thoughts in her head that she wanted to say to people, that she probably never would, and it's fine because some of them should definitely stay in her head.. And places that she wanted to see with her very own eyes, that she might not ever see. But her backyard is pretty beautiful and she could appreciate that too!
Regardless of all of that. Regardless of the fact that sometimes she was lonely and sometimes she was filled with pure joy. Regardless of the fact that she was tired of being on the team, or not knowing some of the answers, or stressing over things that don't matter. Regardless of all of that, and so much more, she couldn't help but hope that some day she would make a difference. Someday she will change lives. Someday she will create something beautiful and someday she will bring peace and love and happiness to those around her.
Once there was a girl who, despite the world around her, held on to faith, held on to hope.
And her heart was full, and her mind was constantly running circles around everything.
And no matter how hard she tried, that mind could not slow down enough to allow her to do any else besides lay in her  bed and ponder on everything around her.

Why I Drove to Washington By Myself

Okay first things first....I went to WA to see my friend Liz. Look how cute she is! She got a grown up job and moved to the *cutest* little town in WA and I miss her, so I took a few days for myself and went on a trip to see her. Secondly, I want it to be known that I DID invite a friend to come with me. I have a good friend who I would have loved to have join me on the trip, but when he couldn't come I was sad but didn't bat an eye. Here are the reasons that I invited him: He is excellent company. He has a great taste in music. He is friends with Liz as well. I thought it would be fun if he came. The end that is all. I didn't invite him to make the trip cheaper, to help drive, or to make me feel safer. It would have been fun if he could have come, but either way I was going to go. I drove to Washington by myself because I could. Because I am saying YES. Because I am done waiting for "someday".  Someday when I have more money, or

Every Day Is A Battle

Every day is a battle. Some days I win and some days I lay my head down at night and think "I will try again tomorrow." Life is hard and it was meant to be that way. But even with that knowledge and understanding it is still sometimes a struggle to get through. I am at the point where everything is bothering me. And it is little stupid things and the worst part is that in the back of my head I know that I am being ridiculous. I know that I am over reacting and that I should not be so irritated by these things. But I am. I am bothered by stupid little things. And I don't really know what to do to make that go away. I don't want to push away these people in my life because they are good people. But at the same time I get so angry when I am there and I just cant figure it out. School is crazy right now, and I just started working again, which is great but also rough because that is one more thing I need to worry about. I have a great group of friends that I love spending
