happy to see you again september

welcoming september with a lot of hope and relief that time is starting to pass. what's happening in my life this september:

1. phoenix for labor day weekend (great start to the month with vacation right off the bat)
2. first tests of the semester... (meh)
3. maybe finding a new job? 
4. miami!!!
lots to look forward to this month. i've deleted my facebook (not sure this will last, but hoping so) with the realization that it doesn't matter. at least in my life, it just tends to cause problems. however, WHERE am i going to put my pictures? guess that means theres going to be a lot more photos on here!

looking forward to the weekend and sharing some of my favorite spots in phoenix including food (of course), and other fun stuff!

Today's a Good Day, Despite Unfortunate Circumstances

Its the third day of a new school year, my second day of attending class (oops!).  After an amazing summer, going back to school comes as somewhat of a disappointment- starting class, losing some of that sweet freedom, and once again losing the person I care so deeply about to another 3 months of a long-distance relationship and the struggles that come along with that. I haven't gotten on here in awhile or posted anything new, I was just looking back at some older posts and remembered this "A person who truly loves you will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is". This gives me hope. I know that's how I feel. Everything lately seems so morbid and sad. The beginning of a semester should come as a new beginning, but it kind of just feels like I'm being trapped. Despite all of the downers, today was a good day. I noticed myself, sitting here on the couch doing homework, smiling.  Just the thought of myself smiling subconsciously boosted my mood, I can make it, I can be happy on my own. Someone once said, "the most important relationship you can have, is the one you have with yourself". How true, afterall, you have to spend your entire life with yourself. You will never HAVE to spend that much time with anyone else if you don't want to.  It's time to push aside all of the unfortunate circumstances in my life and enjoy it. The rest will come. And those who love you will be there for you no matter what.

We Feel Fine...

Watch this video:

His website is really cool, wefeelfine.org
But today I looked at it, being Valentine's Day, and was sadly disappointed at the number of people who feel "loved" in the world today.   The website shows how the world is feeling on a daily basis, it's very interesting.
