it was so hard to return part two.

this weekend was near-perfection.

good music [miniature tigers, where have you been all my life?]

good food [ravioli. quesadillas. aebbelskivers. toasted sandwiches. slurpees.]

good friends [hannah grace. lyndee lenae. nikki marie. aaron patrick. justin matthew. jonathon william. jeffrey scott.]

good fun [music. the cantrells. graywhale. salt lake.]


it was so hard to return.



yesterday was very, very difficult.
i think the reason why was a mixture of missing family, the stress of the end of the semester, and the blizzard we experienced on sunday.
i found myself listening to "displaced" on repeat [bad sign] and dreaming of ecuador and getting out of this town.

but in spite of its difficulty, i
1. saw a heart-shaped patch of snow on the sidewalk.
2. witnessed a good deed.
3. received a picture of a flying unicorn from a good friend.
4. rejoiced in the blue, sunny sky.
5. wore my huge, ugly sweater to the library.
6. enjoyed some almond m+ms.
7. realized the end is near.
8. felt excitement for the future.


i guess there really is a silver lining behind every cloud.
