Thursday Things

First things first: My cousin was found safe. Yay!

Now onto why I haven’t posted in several weeks; Well, it seems I am having some sort of existential crisis and posting about things I like seemed so silly compared to the things I have been thinking about.  So why am I having an existential crisis? Because things happened to make me sort of examine this girl and her life. I don’t disclose other people’s bidness on here because it isn’t my bidness to share, so for the sake of privacy I will keep it vague. A very, very good friend of mine went through something awful and I have spent the past few weeks trying to wrap my head around when life got to be so…so….lifey. It shook me to the core and I had this intense moment where I felt like everything I had ever wanted as a child was flashing in front of me. I suddenly found myself asking so many questions about my life: what I am doing with it, where I want it to go, and who do I want to be in it? Heavy stuff, man. My existential crisis sounds way more upsetting than it actually is. It is actually a healthy and positive process that I am working through and probably something that needed to happen, I just wish it wasn’t brought on by real sad stuff. So while I figure out the foundation of my entire being, I will post a half-assed list of things this week:

These Treats

 

They are special edition and I am going to curb someone if they don’t make them a year-round thing. I bought my first about a week and a half ago and have consumed 5 bags since. Don’t judge me. My chocolate covered craisins are definitely better than your _________ (fill in the blank with whatever holiday treat you prefer). So lay off me! Jerks.

This Song/Video

 

Very moving stuff. The lyrics are touching, the bridge is beautiful, the video makes me want to hug everyone I encounter and tell them I love them. Let’s all just love each other and not breed hate, can we please?

This Song

 

Yup, two songs this week. I told you it has been a weird week and nothing conveys emotion like music, so I have been listening to a lot of it. Don’t read too much into this song. It just makes me happy and makes me feel like I can kick life in the junk and be awesome, and when you’re trying to figure out how to arrange a whole new life, you need to feel like you can kick it in the junk.  

These Shoes

 

I’m getting nuthin’ for Christmas! True story. Not because I was bad, but because I got an iPad for my birthday. Since it was spendy, my parents gave it to me as my b-day/Christmas present combined. Also, my brothers are all the worst and never get me anything. I don’t regret the decision at all because my iPad is my boyfriend and I love him, but it does make for a disappointing Christmas morning. I don’t need any more disappointment in my life, so I bought myself these shoes. I even wrapped them up and put them under the tree! Come Christmas morn I will open my new shoes and feel a little excited while my brothers tear into their stuff. Huzzah!
