Inspired by a vanilla latte...

I took a bit of a blogging break (though I didn't know I was taking one...it just kind of happened) because my mind has been all over the place lately, and I can't seem to focus on anything. I had so much stuff going on all at once and then BAM, I had nothing to do and what does that result in? Netflix and cookie dough, yes.

And also being sad and alone.

Anyway, my point is, I haven't been myself lately. I haven't been obsessing over the very important things in life such as nail polish and Dylan O'brien. I haven't been butting into every conversation possible or taking selfies in the classroom.

But this weekend has been better. I went to a nice, quiet little cafe with a good friend, and also discovered that I am in love with vanilla lattes. (seriously, I tried one last week and I can't stop drinking them. I think I have a problem!) And then tonight at youth group, a young girl was talking about changing yourself if you aren't happy with who you are, and it inspired me.

Whenever bad things happen in my life, my solution always seems to be to shut down and block everyone out. But I don't want to do that anymore. I want to tell people about my problems and get some encouragement. It's really hard for me to open up sometimes, but I think it'll be good for me!

And also, I've discovered this: I need to stay busy in order to be happy. I love going from one place to another, rushing around, having places to be, things to do. And sometimes it gets a little overwhelming! Trying to juggle school and a social life, it's difficult! But it beats having nothing to do all day so business it is!

All I'm trying to say is that I'm going to start changing who I am. I'm going to be more positive and friendly and try to get the best out of life, because we are here for such a short time, so why waste it?

WAKE UP EVERYDAY AND

REALIZE THAT."
