laughing in the face of fear

The birds were chirping, the sun is out, the trees are starting to come back to life…. it was a damn good day, friends!

I was laughing my butt off last night with my best friend, Morgan. We live in two different states and while we don’t talk to each other every day, we have an unspoken tradition of having a 2-4 hour long phone call weekly to catch each other up on all the craziness of our lives. We were joking about making a podcast about all the ridiculous guys we had been with or the horror dates we have been on. I mean, if Taylor Swift can make millions off dating guys and writing songs about them, I think a podcast would be successful…. Don’t get me wrong, to be 16 again and fall for the boy with cool rocker hair was great, but I mean… the stories we could tell!!! I spent some time looking at old photos I posted on Facebook, wondering why I thought I was such hot shit. This is my life now, laughing at my younger self. I spend most of my time now laughing. Call it sunlight induced but I’m a relatively happy person. I am also very serious. The wrinkles on my forehead are forever imprinted on my face due to hours of deep thought, but the older I am getting, the more I find amusement in my everyday life. I mean, 16 year old Alexandra was a brat. And I will fully admit that. Hell, I still am one. But a cute one. I am extremely argumentative and maybe a little bit too much to handle at times…. whoops, but I really like to pat myself on the back for mellowing out. Now, ask my roommate, as I am head banging to Papa Roach at 1 in the morning, with too much chocolate in my system and she’d laughed in your face at the thought of me being mellow. BUT, I’ve really chilled out! Totally believable, right???

LOOK AT THIS SWEET FACE.

Friends, I had the busiest weekend and got maybe 6 hours of sleep and definitely understand why people feel they need caffeine. I was hella worn out but I refuse the caffeine. First off, I don’t respond well to it at all. I don’t drink soda or coffee. I once took an Excedrin for a headache that had a bit of a caffeine kick to it, and let me tell you, it was more than just a kick to me. My heart literally felt like it was going to jump out of my chest and run out of the building. What’s worse, I was in a museum and I literally felt like bouncing off the walls and talking a mile a minute.

Just a visual reminder of how ridiculous I am. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Okay, so if you don’t already know by now, I am HIGH ENERGY, like all the time. I’m not a morning person at all, but give me enough time and some nice music and I’ll be back to normal. I’m basically the equivalent to a puppy at time, which sounds great because I’m just as cute as one, but also, slightly exhausting, or so I’ve been told. I honestly am just so excited for life and over dramatic about everything. And I mean everything.

Y’all, the world is so beautiful, we’re alive, we’re here, pizza is good hot or cold, you’re here reading my blog and I adore you. YES, YOU!!blog63,Stay tuned soon for some truly awesome news. I’m so excited!!

 

Have a great rest of your week. Do something good for someone else this week, and when you make a mistake, laugh if off. It sure makes the heart feel a little lighter.

Today’s Mantra: 

I AM laughing in fact of fear.”
