To Be Friends or Not To Be Friends

The summer after senior year and the tough decisions that make themselves. I’ve had the same group of friends since third grade. It started with me, Maroon, and Lilac. In fifth grade we met Cornflower and the four of us became a solid group. We added more people throughout middle and high school, ending up […]

Homecoming 2016 and First Place

Homecoming this year was way different than Homecoming last year. Last year I was so angsty and preoccupied with trivial social issues. This year was way more chill. (Check out my post from last year here.) Like last year, we didn’t go to the dance. Unlike last year, we wanted to (it’s senior year, you […]

I’m Back!

It feels like FOREVER since I last blogged. I’ve missed it so much. Honestly, there’s something so freeing in writing down mundane, day to day events. And I love the blogging community. 🙂 I’ve missed you guys! I realize I have not posted anything in over a month. Yikes. Here’s what’s been going on: Kid’s […]

Uncrushed

I don’t know what the word is for falling out of love when you weren’t really in love in the first place. Or the word for slowly not liking someone you’ve had a crush on for a long time. Maybe someone should come up with that. There was this guy I liked sophomore year. I’ve […]

Band Banquet

One of the most fun things I think about band banquet is dressing up. I love doing my hair and makeup, especially when doing it with friends. Fashion’s not my strong suit, and I feel like I don’t own a lot of cute clothes, but every once and a while I find something to wear […]

Chameleon Friend

I had a weird experience yesterday. I was walking with my friend, whom I will call Lucy for the sake of this post. We were leaving first period and going to second and we started talking about schedule changes. I had a change to make to the math class I’m taking next year (I’m doing […]

All Alone

I grew up listening to stories about how my parents met. My mom was 16. My dad was 14. He was a freshman in high school. She was a junior. They went to the same church, saw each other at youth group every Wednesday. They started dating soon after my dad’s 14th birthday. They dated […]

I Am My Own Person

I’ve got my own life, my own plans, my own emotions and desires, but I have to schedule my life around what my family is doing, and change based on their whims and choices. I just want to have my own life, make my own schedule, clean the bathroom when I have time to clean […]

It Was Just Music

So lately I’ve been struggling to work out my feelings for J. I still like him, I like spending time with him, talking to him, making him laugh. The question at hand is, does he like me? (Sorry for the cliche teenage girl post. I can’t help it.) J never seeks me out. He never […]

And The Story Continues…

As I’ve shared in some of my past posts (they are titled “Homecoming” and “High School Drama…”), my best friend and I both like the same guy, whom I will call “J” for privacy and clarity reasons. There have been instances in the past where I’ve tried to let my feelings go for the sake […]
