I’m so in love with him. You get to thinking it’s weird to still be in love with bands after you’ve passed 18 but it’s so not. It’s so in. I’m so in. Lany is forever ever that band you see live and it changes you a little bit. Maybe altered your life course for the better a little bit. I think I needed a music obsession, something to cherish like that again. I saw them live for the second time after 7 years and had to mention it here. Lany is just so ?????? It’s easy to see that Paul was born to be a performer. I will never let it go. Here’s to THE NEXT SHOW

I’ll miss you double xl

She was spring— the birth of new beginnings.  She was sunflowers and honeycomb, the richness of black soil, lively and emotional. She was light-footed as baby’s breath, a forget-me-not, pruned to perfection. But there she lay, her buttercup hair tangled, lips poppy-red, her neck stained violet. A passionate necklace, given by unforgiving flaxen, permanently scorched against her white-rose skin. Thyme and rosemary shaped her bones, and they will wrap them in a warm embrace as she returns home to the earth. Marigolds and orchids decorate her resting place, and although the reverend said she can’t go to heaven, she has created Eden.

January: 4/10, bangs too short, waves too high to swim, still had mandatory masks (which is good for us but not fun), but ayeee saw my mission pres + wife yay

February: 5/10 surf comps, bdays, anxiety, went to therapy for it, and vday (I’m single)

March: 7/10 Mr. The Rock visited and blessed us with his presence, went back to the temple, watched Clayton’s season bachelor, the best st. Patty’s day, CULTURE NIGHT, hosted some baby chicks in our hale, Jess quit elephant shack (fortune smiles upon us for that)

April: 6.5/10 got pranked hard (lice), conference, took a friend to the hospital, big sleepover at salty breeze, Rach quit the luau, my Taylor Swift birthday, bday szn again, Kualoa, Easter, the new caf opened, the 90s dance purr

May: 7/10 got Covid first time, embarassing. Harry’s House dropped (would have been a 5/10 for the month but Harry’s album saved it) abortion rally, a lot of social work in action which I loved, gun violence 😭, caught a disease in my finger- the worst pain ever, this month was a fever dream.
