Feeling: so happy!! ヽ(^◇^*)/
Songs: TV Girl - Everything Blue & After - The Element

GOOD NEWS!!!!!

I just got an email from the text hotline I applied to and......I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED!!! AHHHH!!
I'm very nervous because it's something new and out of my comfort zone. I worry that maybe I won't know what to say to help someone, or what if I say the wrong thing? But there is a 15 hr training I have to do before I become a full-on counselor, so I'll def be learning how to maneuver things. I also have to remind myself that human connection through conversation is a huge key to helping others. Some people just need to vent and feel heard (-: I'm extremely thankful for this opportunity because it gives me a chance to learn more about mental health, how to communicate with others about it, and how to approach those who are potentially in a crisis. It's work that will set me up for the future ᵔᴥᵔ

Life has been so busy lately! My mom went on another business trip so I've occupied with taking care of the house, the dogs/cats, and my little sister more than usual. I have plans with Bryce, Mark, Korrin, and Kiersten tomorrow, which I'm SUPER excited about because we all haven't been together since high school (like 6 years ago)!!!! On thursday I'm going to a fancy steakhouse with my boyfriend, Corey, to celebrate his birthday - He's gonna be 24! Then on friday I might have plans with another friend AHH! THEN on saturday Corey and I are meeting up with the friend group at a karaoke bar to further celebrate Corey's birthday ٩(๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)۶ I CANT WAIT!!!


I've been so obsessed with watching Hannah Montana recently omggg it has taken over my life!! It's been fueling my Miley Cyrus addiction significantly. I'm on S2 E16 - the one with the Jonas Brothers & omggg I forgot how much I LOVED them! and I realized how genuinely funny some parts of the show are! With the recent Billy Ray Cyrus mess going on, it is sad seeing him as a fun and supportive father in the show. I get random flash backs of that inauguration performance he did... big YIKES!!!

That's all for now,
bye!!

Feeling: sleepy
Songs: Mac Miller - Stoned & SZA - 20 Something

“And the water, it’s shallow like the lies that she tells
Can’t run from your shadow, can’t hide from yourself
She hates when she cries when she’s all by herself
and she’s always all by herself
She hardly talks in conversation
But, but when she do
All her words get lost in translation
No, she can’t move
‘Cause she’s paralyzed from fear that she fantasize.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello hello! I hope you’re doing well (:

To be honest, I could be doing a bit better. This seasonal depression is kicking my butt and making it real hard to get out of bed in the morning. But we prevail!!!

Did you get snow this season?? It was a fairly warm winter this year, but we did get a few inches of snow and a deep freeze that is kind of not normal for where I live. I’ve always talked about living in Wisconsin or Michigan with my family, but then I think about having to drive in the snow - scary!! ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ Even though it was super icy out on the roads, Corey and his dad picked me up so I could spend the snow day with my man! We built a derpy looking snowman and threw a few snowballs at each other. His dog Katy LOVED the snow omg she got the old lady zoomies!!!

Been playing a lot of Stardew Valley with the friend group (-: it’s been so much fun making goofy characters! Tori, Laurel, and I are all hyper focused on romancing our desired characters and it’s hilarious that our boyfriend’s team up to brainstorm how they’re gonna ruin our chances. Corey keeps saying he’s gonna break Sebastian’s legs so that he can’t do the spring dance with me (≧◡≦) since getting my new pc, I've also been playing a TON of sims 4! My little sister was hanging out in my room the other day and ended up just watching me play (-: she thinks it's so cool! I've been letting her play after I pick her up from school, she really likes creating and dressing up her sims like it's virtual barbies

I submitted an application to become a volunteer crisis counselor for this text hotline a few weeks ago and I still haven't heard much back. I really hope I get accepted so I can gain some experience and have somethin' good to put on my resume! Hopefully I hear something soon

In other news, Mac Miller’s new posthumous album “Balloonerism” is incredible. I’ve been listening to it constantly since it came out! I definitely feel like I’m listening to some things that I maybe shouldn’t be, like his lyrics are very raw and vulnerable so would he really want us to listen to all that? But at the same time, those vulnerable moments resonate the most with me. My favorite songs from the album are Stoned, Mrs. Deborah Downer, Funny Papers, Manakins, and Tomorrow Will Never Know.

Some upcoming things:
- Reapply to master’s program
- Get oil changed in my car
- Deep clean my room/donate things
- Schedule eye exam/new glasses & contacts
- Download CC for the sims 4

Anywhoo, I hope you're safe and doing well wherever you are!

Feeling: lazy, but very happy •ᴥ•

Honorable mention: Billie Eilish - Therefore I Am

Hello new blog page, lookin' cute!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!! I hope you all had a fun, happy, and safe transition into the new year (-: I'm currently typing this from my brand new PC that my boyfriend and his dad got me for christmas AHHHHHH!!! So beyond grateful oh my GOD!! I can finally use all of my pc gear, like my pink keyboard and mouse! I think this gift and getting my new Doc Marten boots were my top favorites this year, I'm a little scared to break in the boots though ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)/ﾞ it's my first pair of docs and I've heard horror stories of people not wear enough cushion and ended up getting crazy blisters! Christmas was really good this year, I had several dinners and gift exchanges going on which felt a little hectic, but I really enjoyed being with everyone. My aunt and uncle got sick on christmas eve, so I'm bummed I couldn't spend time with them BUT they did drop off gifts and my aunt got me a tiny travel size tarot deck keychain - AHH HOW CUTE!!

Speaking of tarot, I did end up doing all of my last minute christmas/end of the year traditions, like doing my Year-Ahead tarot speard which I will display below! I also watched the Santa Clause movies and saw christmas lights with Corey , which was just as fun and magical as last year ♥ the holidays are extra special with him in my life now (I will never miss a moment to obsess over my man, he is my world!)

New Years was super fun! Corey and I went to a little party with our friends ヽ(^□^｡)ノ had lots of sangria, laughs, and took too many pictures lol We exchanged our secret santa gifts, it was fun seeing our friends open up everything ♥ Corey got a drum key and a funny shirt! I got a really cute scarf that I've been eye-balling! I got our friend Bryan a fun murder mystery game! It was so nice hanging out with everyone, it's hard planning things due to work and other responsibilities amongst everyone. Bryan and Tori almost didn't make it due to some ridiculous work stuff, BUT thank god they were able to pull through cause I missed Tori SO MUCH!!! That's my girl!!! Having our girlie trio of me, Tori, and Laurel was perfect to bring in the new year - I love my girls ♥ the sucky part was how early I felt like Corey and I left, which was 1AM. We were able to present our Sopranos in Minecraft powerpoint (the theme was 2024 hyperfixations) first, but couldn't stay to watch everyone else go because we had scheduled an Uber ride home before the party. That uber ride was kind of 35 mins of hell due to how much I had drank that night, I just quietly sat there counting down the miles and minutes until we were home. As soon as we got out of the car I got sick on the side of the drive way for like two seconds. Corey was shocked and said it was "gangster" how I didn't get sick in the uber LMAO one thing I did learn from my night of fun and recovery is that LA Colors Gel Eyeliner holds up through A LOT! My eyeliner was still perfectly fine after going through what felt like war lol thankfully after some Liquid IV and sun shrine on my skin I was back to normal :-P
