Hello, hello. I haven't been on here in the longest time because I couldn't quite figure out how I wanted to run this blog. I feel like I want to have some sort of goal for all of this writing and I think I've just now found it. Lately I've been faced with truckloads of tough choices and a great deal of emotions. For those of you that don't know I'm a senior in high school and am finding myself to be in a position where grades, social life, and sanity are coming at a standstill. It's insane the amount of pressure that my peers and I are being placed under but you know what? I don't even mind. 

Last week I had a little cry sesh over the fact that I couldn't bring myself to come up with how to analyze a passage in Great Expectations. Yes, I actually cried over that. The next day I realized that its something we all go through, getting stressed over whatever it may be but hey when you wake up tomorrow morning you've just go to make like Elsa and let it go. 

Another epiphany moment was a car ride I had with my dad. He knows, like most everyone else, that high school is sort of a dead end for me and I haven't really enjoyed all the immaturity and rudeness. However, this wise man got into my brain and planted the seed of opportunity. He told me that high school happens once (thank the heavens) and that I should take advantage of the opportunities that only high school can give me such as prom, sporting events (I shut him down on that one, not a fan of high school sports unless a friend is playing in them woooooops), and spending time with the people I actually do like. It sounded a lot better coming from him but he helped me see that constantly looking forward makes you lose every other aspect of you life and I think life is too short and much too precious to be wasted. 

That being said, I've decided to make this blog all about everything. I don't know what I want to be one day. I don't know which college I'll go to or who I'll be friends with or where I'll be living. All I know is that I'm ready to take the next step and actually live my life instead of waiting for tomorrow to roll around. This blog is going to be about places I want to go, fashion I'm into, food, my love of writing, life in general and I really would like if you, those of you reading or maybe I'm just talking to pixels, got something out of this. I want to be the voice I never got to hear when I was younger. I want to be an inspiration and even if no one reads this I'm still making myself proud by taking a step towards a dream I've had for a while now. 

Thanks for reading this horribly mundane post. I really do appreciate it. Tonight I'm hopefully going to do a post about college applications and how to whittle down your choices!
