Smart.

One of my major goals for when I have a family is to teach my kids the importance of reading. I have this idea that if my kids come home from school and see me reading, they'll read too. If I were to be watching tv, they'd pick up on that bad habit. Read and they will too.

Reading makes you smart. Promise. 

To the future man-of-my-life: you have to love reading. It's a must.

 

Read and they will too.

Slow down.

I miss this.

Yeah, I'ma make that.

Happy.

How many times have you heard someone tell you that being happy is a choice? A billion. It's a lie. Kind of. Being happy is kind of a choice but there are some things I do to be happy when everything else is telling me to be sad.

• Read- forget who you are by becoming someone else. But then I get sad again when the book is over because I miss the friend I found inside the book. Book+blanket+popcorn+tea=happyhappyhappy
• Eat ice cream- self explanatory, really.
• Walk, run, or bike- because eating ice cream all the time will kill me.
• Sleep- I have ridiculously awesome dreams where I see all my friends and go on adventures. Why would I ever want to be awake?
• Listen to Brand New- instant happiness.
• Do something that reminds me I'm a person- Cliff jumping, see how long I can hold my breath under water (supervision highly recommended), drive fast, hike.
• Be with my family- this is an instant cure all.
• But most of all, I think about how I'm the only me that has ever existed and because of that, I am awesome and there is nothing that can make me less than happy.

The end.

Pretty.

Super skinny with perfect skin and hair is not even a real thing. People that are and have those things are not real. So wasting time on caring about what people that don't matter think about you is letting yourself die too early. "Don’t let your youth slip away. it’s leaving you every second." -Axel Marazzi

But I do want to learn French. And Russian. And everything else in the world. There's nothing wrong with improving yourself if it's truly for yourself.


I like food and not caring way too much. Seriously. I love myself. But yes, I'm a hypocrite. Shut up.

Ill.

Blegh. It's one of those days.

Stop.

Do not waste your time over thinking and start doing. We are dying every minute. We are turning into dust.

This gives me the heeby jeebies. .

Harry Potter ♥

Yesterday I finally finished the seventh Harry Potter book. That book is quite a tear jerk-er. I'm not afraid to admit that it made me cry lots of time.
 My sister told me that I'm weirdly obsessed and that a 29 year old should not be this addicted to Harry Potter. I'm not even 29. But 20 year olds are still allowed. So I will be as obsessed as I want. Which is a lot obsessed.
We've grown up together. I'll never forget my fictional friends.

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
