seeing the world through rose colored glasses.

be soft. 
don't let the world
make you hard.
don't let the pain
make you hate.
don't let the bitterness
steal the sweetness.
take pride 
that even though
the rest of the world
may disagree
you 
still 
believe 
it to 
be a 
beautiful 
place. 

i've decided my favorite thing to do is clean stalls.

its therapeutic. 

before you decide i'm certifiably insane, let me explain. 

kathy can second this :)

there are very few places that we can just think without having to focus on anyone or anything.

i can't do it at school.

i can't do it while i do my homework. 

i can't do it when i go run, because i'm trying too hard to keep my butt going to let my mind wander.

some can do it while they drive, but i tend to hit things when i'm lost in my stream of consciousness. 

the best thing for me to do is to offer to clean the kids stalls and just move from 

one end of the barn to the other. 

i put my earphones in and listen to my cleaning playlist,

and just let my mind wander. 

sometimes i find myself solving problems without trying,

making changes without noticing, 

and adjusting my life without having to. 

there comes a time in life

when you have to let go

of the pointless drama

&the people who create it

&surround yourself with

people who make you laugh

so hard

you forget 

the

bad

and

focus

solely on the good.

after all, 

life's too short

to be

anything

but 

happy.

things that keep me up at night.

wanting something. 

like a cup of hot chocolate.

something that needs done. 

worrying. 

anticipation. 

the future. 

also known as 

that thing called college. 

jealousy. 

too hot. 

too cold. 

comparisons. 

expectations. 

tomorrows outfit.

planning. 

you.

the best things in life.

accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.
waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.
goodnight kisses.
making new friends while old friendships grow stronger.
singing in the bathroom.
sweet dreams.
hot chocolate with perro&creamer.
making cookies with your best friend.
watching a sunset.
taking long, hot showers.

things you might not know.

i like to drink out of mason jars. i love macaroni and cheese and french toast. i don't like to listen to music on cloudy days. i hate fixing my hair. but i like makeup. when i run, i run with my dog and my ipod. no other people allowed. i have playlists of music organized my mood. i love gray nail polish. my favorite quote: "the difference between trying and triumph is that little 'umph'." i like to go into stores and smell the perfumes. my favorite is midnight pomegranate by bath and body works. i've always wanted a henna tattoo. i brush my teeth twice in a row with two different toothpastes. i love exchanging cheesy pick up lines. i've learned to laugh at myself. i like pretty bras and panties, even though no one sees them. i love good hugs. i love sunsets. i like random dance parties. picnik is not photoshop. i will not get married until i'm at least nineteen. things that say "diy" frustrate me. and i have a hard time finishing projects. chas and i play the "tell me something about yourself" game almost every day. i love pinterest. leggings are not, i repeat, not pants. sorry. i like cats. and babies. bread is my weakness. my ctr ring has been on my finger for five years. crushing up an aspirin tablet and mixing it with water into a paste then putting it on a zit makes it go away. i like to sleep. and last but not least, i have no middle name. 

procrastination.

i have things to be doing. and i'm not doing them. i'll probably regret it later. and so, instead of doing my homework, i'm creating art. :)
