Last day of summer, once again. It’s a weird feeling every year. I can’t even be that sad that it’s ending, I haven’t done much. A couple little trips, that’s something. It was kind of fun while it lasted. I was going to watch the sunrise today but I woke up too late. I usedContinue reading “last day of summer”

portland, oregon
Trees fly past us and my eyes are captured by their beauty as if I had never seen a tree before in my life. As if I had never even seen the color green. The rain is making the scene even more beautiful, even if it’s making my boyfriend slightly more anxious on this drive.Continue reading “portland, oregon”
sushi restaurant
I stumble into a sushi restaurant in the nearest big city to my hometown. About 30 minutes away. I’m alone and I have a panic attack parallel parking on the skinny street. Although I am fairly decent at parallel parking; I would say it’s the party trick that I rarely get to prove. Just merelyContinue reading “sushi restaurant”
frankenstein again
I am currently sitting in a cafe reading Frankenstein for the third time. At the age of 19, I think reading Frankenstein three times might be a little much. Especially when it’s not necessarily enjoyed by that 19-year-old. That being said, a lot is being learned still. The things being learned are not just fromContinue reading “frankenstein again”

repetition
Maybe this is just becoming a place where I can write out my difficulties in life until they seem like lessons; until I can make the negatives turn into positives. I think that’s the reason I love writing so much. It’s the only thing that can repeat and repeat and repeat and I never getContinue reading “repetition”
the moral of the story
Sometimes I just need a break. I need to sit back and be able to view the world in a beautiful way, the way it’s supposed to be lived and observed, rather than as a stressful and a never ending routine. A couple weeks ago I took that break a couple states away in sunnyContinue reading “the moral of the story”

On June 11 I received an email from FutureMe. A website that allows you to send an email to your future self. I vividly remember driving to my boyfriends house when the notification popped up on my phone. The memory of writing this had completely disappeared from my mind until I saw the title ofContinue reading “a year ago”
attachment
Recently I’ve come to a strong realization of the way I tend to get very attached to things, people, ideas, quite possibly anything.

An item IContinue reading “attachment”
