cried like a baby at spirited away, kind of learned how to sew, did a lot of self-improvement, caught up on Parks and Rec and Bob's Burgers, started watching Twin Peaks, went shopping at a thrift store near my house, went to an robotics and programming camp because nerd, got a letter telling me that I was accepted for a scholarship that I wrote like three essays and had about 5 panic attacks to get, got realllyyyy into the world cup, did some more art/writing, ignored crippling anxiety to submit some of said art/writing to zines, was happy and sad and enjoyed feeling feelings vividly, became more confident, volunteered at my library and met a buncha cool people, picked flowers, listened to a lot of podcasts, went to my first ever ONE DIRECTION concert with my friends which led to me figuring out that:
a. i like pop music because i like to danceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
b. being a snob about music is literally such a waste of valuable time that i could spend saving the world and being happy
and a few other things. also- I got back into reading books the way I read them when I was younger:
sorry for the totally lame photo quality but top to bottom:

towards the end of the summer, everything just started blurring into one long hazy day:

how were your summers, I really wanna hear about it in the comments!

Sounds like youve had a veryyy fun and productive summer!!! Ooh Bossypants is a good read. Being a music snob is the worse (google jake bugg vs one direction. I still i like jake but *sigh*) ive become obsessed with Fifth Harmony and a 16 yr old canadian acoustic guitarist/singer named Shawn Mendes and im usually the type of person to listen to old or obscure indie bands my friends dont know about. Dancing is funnn

Precisely why I had my epiphany:
ReplyDeleteWanna see a perfectly cognizant, fully-spectacular, Son-ripened-Heaven?? … yet, I’m not sure if we're on the same page if you saw what I saw. Greetings, earthling. Because I was an actual NDE on the outskirts of the Great Beyond at 15 yet wasn’t allowed in, lemme share with you what I actually know Seventh-Heaven’s Big-Bang’s gonna be like: meet this advanced, bombastic, ex-mortal Upstairs for the most extra-groovy-paradox, pleasure-beyond-measure, Ultra-Yummy-Reality-Addiction in the Great Beyond for a BIG-ol, kick-ass, party-hardy, robust-N-risqué-passion you DO NOT wanna miss the sink-your-teeth-in-the-smmmokin’-hot-deal. Cya soon…
