Currently in bed writing this post, with a stocking cap, fuzzy pajamas, and fuzzy socks on while my little stalker puppy lays out in the window sill watching people walk by. It’s a good day.
While I have ultimately decided that I can’t survive in any climate that gets colder than 70 degrees, I am continuing to fill out applications to schools all over the country… 7 down, 23 left to go! It’s been a fun time but wow, so exhausting.
Yesterday was a “snow day” and while my clumsy ass slid all over Fayetteville, it was nice to have a day to myself. I caught up on laundry, cleaned up my room, lit some candles and watching old Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant movies (My Fair Lady and A Touch of Mink). Hemy-boy is quite the little snuggler and I loved laying in bed just relaxing with him. We don’t really have these moments much anymore because when by the time we get home at night, we’re both exhausted and just go straight to bed.
So, interesting thought. Someone recently read through my blog and told me that compared to in the beginning to now, I used to be so much happier. It kinda took me aback, and after reading old posts, I have to disagree. Slightly.
When I started this blog almost 4 years ago… I had just turned 19. Oh to be 19 again (not). I was a sophomore in college and felt as if I was really finally coming into myself. I had lived “on my own” for a year before and was ready to take on the world. I had bangs (what the hell was I even thinking??) and was freshly tatted up (BAD ASS!!!) and felt, very young. 
Fast forward, I’m 21, my bangs have grown out, I’ve added more tattoos, much to my Yiayia’s dismay, I’m living alone, I got a little pupper, and I’m just more aware?
I don’t think that I’m not as happy as I was, but I think I’m mostly in this stage where I’m ready to go but also, I’m a wee bit nervous. With every school I apply to, the more tabs I keep opening up looking at different cities and all they have to offer. This small town gal may indeed be moving to the big city, but more on that later….
Today’s Mantra:
“I AM appreciating all the good in my life.”
Love you even when you’re shivering from the cold.
