Some truths that I've been humbled by recently:
The world is sometimes a mess, but kindness helps.
It's okay to admit when you were wrong.
It's okay to admit when you were right.
It's okay to disagree.
It's also okay to miss people who you haven't talked to in years.
Being unabashedly yourself around people is empowering.
And what you dislike about yourself, other people love (and so should you).
Being single is all that and a bag of Skittles.
But being a hopeless romantic doesn't equal weakness.
Singing is always a good idea, especially if you're out of tune.
If what you're doing is making you miserable, leave it.
When your voice falters, you're probably saying something right. Keep going.
Diets are depressing.
Family, friends, good food, daisies and The Beach Boys are happy.
Vulnerability is terribly hard and terribly worth it.
And the One Who holds the stars also holds us.

All I Know is a New Found Grace...

In all honestly today feels like a snow-cone, backyard bar-b-que,

dancing in the sprinkler, kinda day, but see... it's only January. 

Bummer. But still, it's sunshiney, so I have no room to complain,

because if today were a song it would be laid back, upbeat and

one you listen to on repeat, because it has a killer bridge, 

which we all know is the raddest part of a song.

 And here's another random thought:

we don't know what the next moment will bring.

We could be knocked out of our socks with 

something wonderful

and magnificent

and surprisingly...

perfect.

 

Peace out, cub scouts. :)

Happy Things

The past few days... well, I suppose since the New Year, I've been as happy feeling than I can remember in I don't know how long. God is awesome. I think this is a good start to my year and all I can hope is that the whole year may be this carefree, for all of us. <3

So, to commemorate such a feeling, I will now post everything that strikes my fancy as... 

happy. 

(Pink makes me happy.)

Cooking and eating pancakes. I have full bragging rights to say I make some pretty awesome chocolate chip pancakes. ;) 

Wishing on stars. 

Writing someone you haven't talked to in forever.

Dancing in the kitchen to your jam. You knooow what it is. 

 Mine is "Hey, Soul Sister" or literally any song by Barry White...

Reading poetry that makes you smile and daydream. 

All the feels. ;)

Watching that silly, romantic comedy that still makes you swoon.

Or watching a total tear-jerker and then laughing at yourself

for being such a girl. ;P (Or guy, if I have guy followers...) I didn't mean to exclude y'all from the conversation.

Now this is awkward. ;) 

Take pictures outside and post them for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE.

I plan on doing this very thing later. Yay! :)

 Being ridiculously excited to be alive today. It's pretty cool or rad... or whatever. ;) It really is though. We are alive. We're given the chance to live, breath, cry, laugh until we cry or laugh until we cry. The point is... we're being given a whole lot. Today. Let's be thankful and enjoy it, why don't we? :)

 

 

 

I think that just about sums it up. ;)
