Four days so four things!
At least it's not as bad as last time.
1. SUNSHINE!!!!! after days of flooding and horrible weather-the sun is back. I think I said this already but it just brings natural happiness back into my life.
2. Spring officially began on Saturday so I made my usual trip to Rita's for a free ice. It was actually kinda cool to just hang out with my brother and sister amongst the craziness of March madness.
3. HISTORY!! I was back in a bit of a slump Sunday so I didn't do much all day until m sister came down at around 10 or 11 and started to talk about health care. I listened to some of the videos about this historic moment and I was extremely happy. I honestly believe that we are moving in the right direction and hopefully this day will be a pivotal turning point for us.
4. Planning for the future. I had a mini talk with my mother and actually just spent the past two hours trying to settle on summer plans. I have a couple great leads on some awesome internships.I'm also planning for next semester. I'm not quite sure yet where I'll be but at least I'm starting to get excited about it.

Day 6-29 (feb. 23- March 18)
First, I know I'm horrible at making promises...especially to myself. Ironically, this realization is one of the things that has made me happy. I tell myself this all the time but I rarely ever fully acknowledge it.
FRIENDS!!! I was staying with a friend, completely for free and she never asked for anythign in return. I also have been able to see a lot of friends recently. Some I've known since before high school and it's been really good to just be foolish and with them.
SUNSHINE. after the horrendous series of storms that hit this area last weekend, all of a sudden it's warm and beautiful again. A sunny day really does put me in the best mood possible.
KIDS. the kids I babysit are awesome. Yes, every now and then they say some questionable things but, they are 10 years old. I do everything from hw to boardgames and playing outside with them and I must admit that I've loved getting back to that part of my personality.
SAFETY NETS. Ok a huge part of why I haven't been writing or keeping in touch has been coming to terms with moving back home and dealing with family. I didn't want to do it but I got tired of lying and running away. Of course the situation is never ideal, but you have to face the music. As much as I felt that I needed to figure out things on my own without anyone to protect me, I can't help but admit how nice it is to know that there's solid ground after I fall. So yes, when I finally land that shit hurts-but I'd rather that pain versus the incessant unknowing of constantly falling through a bottomless pit.
