I know have written about my dog before, and frankly, there are endless topics and stories related to her that I could exhaust here, and I won’t stop now. Over the last weekend, I threw Piper a birthday party. A … Continue reading I Threw My Dog a Birthday Party & This Is How It Went
And like a daydream, another hazy year is gone in a blink. Before you jump onto that description and read further than intended (one of my favorite sayings about writing is: “It’s not that deep), let me explain. When I … Continue reading Twenty
Let me begin by informing you of the randomness of this post idea. My birthday is in November (Scorpio season is the best season), so this isn’t some upcoming occasion that I had on my mind. And yet, I’m always thinking about birthdays- not just mine, but my family and friends’ too. I have every birthday in my planner, and enough postage to send homemade or funny store-bought cards (usually of puppies or old women) to my loved ones. Today, I was reminded of this birthday appreciation because I heard someone say, “Valentine’s Day is my second favorite holiday, after … Continue reading Birthday Joy
I am currently reeling in the events of the weekend, and the entire month of November. I began my series the day before the first of the month, and now that it’s nearly over and the series has ended, I am reminded once again how quickly life sneaks away. The individual hours may seem long (in class or at work especially), but the days as a whole move at a breakneck pace that keeps me gasping for air while running uphill. I do my best to slow down and breathe, but it’s easier said than done. Isn’t everything? My series … Continue reading 19 in 19: Summary
Well. Today is it. I have been planning for nearly twenty-something days for this moment, but actually if I’m honest, I’m unprepared. I’m not ready to turn nineteen. I’m not ready to grow up. I’m not ready to start my … Continue reading 19 in 19: Trust the Universe
I have been blessed enough to have lived in one home growing up. I lived in a house with a woodland backyard and a safe neighborhood. I lived right outside a city where the people smile at strangers and everyone … Continue reading 19 in 19: Internal Home
I developed a life-threatening allergy to peanuts/tree nuts when I was two years old, and have remained allergic even into my nineteenth year. This means that I’ve had to carefully examine restaurant menus and beg the chef to be extra safe with the processing and handling of my order. I’ve had to read the back of every single label, scanning the teeny tiny print to find out if the harmless looking cereal bar will make me go into anaphylactic shock. I’ve had to have my own separate brand of cupcakes at birthday parties, and sit at a different lunch table … Continue reading 19 in 19: Pop-Tart Cake (Healthy v. Happy)
There are certain things and people that I just absolutely adore to be around. They fill me with joy and bring me energy and radiate positivity. They make me laugh and smile and feel like a better person. They give, … Continue reading 19 in 19: Beware Energy Vampires
I’ve developed a sort of hobby that turned into a lifestyle, and it may a bit abnormal or “freaky” for some to accept. Call it the free-spirit, contemporary, mystic, nonconformist maybe, but I don’t think it has to have a … Continue reading 19 in 19: Feed Your Soul
I am turning eighteen years old. This is one of those “milestone” birthdays, even though every year you survive another revolution on this earth should be celebrated as a milestone. Eighteen is a big number for a girl who still remembers the outfit she wore to her cousin’s play when she was six years old (my fashion sense in 2004 was remarkable). Eighteen means something. It’s an adult number. I even have to get my license renewed. Compared to the little hill of seventeen, eighteen feels like a mountain. This is the year I graduate high school. This is the … Continue reading Eighteen
