"Because when you Stop and Look Around

Besides getting Mono this summer I've been slacking on my summer goals, which makes me sad.

And the alarming part is, summer is halfway over!

I think I'm in a stage of mourning...my last summer as a kid. No job, no bills...

But at the same time I'm really excited to progress and discover new things about myself as I head into my Senior year of high school.

But still...I'm really scared.

But excited. And happy.

And confused.

Meet Rachel...We like to get dressed up, drive around, and take pictures.

It's one of the many things I love about her.

Because taking pictures sort of makes me really happy.

Oh and Mono...

Sucks!

Been feeling like an outsider today. Somewhat invisible. So depressing, right?
It happens.
Went to a church event and came home feeling more drained than ever before.
Dating, boys, obnoxious girls, and a slight case of anxiety stressed me out.
Numbing myself from all the pressure.
I've always known I've had a greater perspective than most girls.
Maturity is what some call it.
I'd just like to think I'm more sensitive and have a deeper soul.
I thank my older sisters for that.
So watching those girls today, I knew I couldn't stay sad for long.
I could never mimic or behave like them just for the sake of getting a guy.

Brain is fried.
Been doing State mandated math testing all week, and I can think of no other possible way of torture.
In all honesty, i'm not your most dedicated student.
I wish I was.
I'm finding my way. Maybe one of these years I will be uber organized and excel in all my classes.
Well, at least most of them.
But for now, i'm enjoying the last few weeks of school, and my "relaxing" sophomore year.
Next year will be a doosy. Preparing myself.

TGIF.

I'm a mess.

My hair needs a serious hair therapy session.

I spent the whole weekend watching episodes of 'Vampire Diaries' online.

I'm so lame.

And addicted.

...To those fabulous lazy days.

No shower until now.

Today, I was "trapped" on youtube for what seemed like 6 hours.

Wait, I think it WAS 6 hours.

Looking up Brandi Carlile and Ingrid Michaelson's live performances.

4 words people.

THEY. ARE. AMAZING. LIVE.

I want either one to be my 1st concert.

Both would probably blow my mind.

My favorite song

Ingrid Michaelson- The Chain.

It made the list to "My Life Soundtrack"

admit it, you have one too.

Kisses,

Elle
