I've been spending a weekend with my grandparents for Christmas, and it's been enjoyable as always! I always cherish the times I have with them. How has all of your Christmas breaks been going? Mine has been good; I've read so much, haha. Today Grams, Mom and I went out to eat at Godfather's, our tradition. We do this a lot, and Mom[...]
I've always had trouble with blogging. Or I should say, continuing to stay motivated with it. I love to write, and I definitely love to blog, though I would rather write fictional stories any day. But I just love the beauty of writing and the impact that words can have on somebody's life. Fiction or nonfiction. I like to read both, t[...]
Unpacking. I just finished unpacking after spending a few days with my grandparents for Thanksgiving. Every time I'm with them, I find myself always having a great time and, honestly, I never want to leave. But there are of course things I love about being back home, and I'm glad we came home today so that we still get a weekend befo[...]
I just finished watching the Scott Peterson movie. The one about how he got arrested for murdering his wife. I can believe sinful things like this happen because I know it's a sinful world, but that doesn't make the pain and disgust at it go away. And it shouldn't.

Tonight we decided to go into town to get food because that's what happens when Dad is gone, and Mom doesn't want to cook. I didn't complain because this healthy person loves fast food. I was reviewing my summer goals the other day and noticed I was supposed to blog everyday. My immediate excuse for that is well, it takes time to typ[...]
It's human nature to want to be special. To want to be remembered. To want to be different. To want to be the first at something. The only person super good at something.... Gotta love jealousy. I'll tell you a secret: I can be a very jealous person and want a lot of glory for myself. I can get very jealous very easily when people te[...]
Tomorrow is the last day of school. I can't wait. First, summer. Duh. But I need to renew so much. Academically this year has been great except for my horrifying art skills, but per usual, socially it has been much harder. Some days I feel on top of the world. I feel like I'm finally dealing with my emotions, and I feel like I'm totally c[...]
