“How do we forgive ourselves for all the things we did not become?”

A blue theme for this week along with a classic: “Moby Dick” have you read it?

I can’t believe school is just around the corner (I go back on august 9), goodbye Netflix marathons and being able to read all day long.

Hello!!  Hope you all had a fantastic day.  I got to see some of my family for the first time in half a year, and it was so good to catch up with my cousin!  I missed her.  It felt so good to be able to have a quality conversation and be open with someone who cares about everything that’s been going on in my life.  Tomorrow, we’re driving to go to breakfast and then go shopping.  It’ll be so fun to just blast music with the windows down and scream lyrics and forget about our respective problems.  I took the above picture on our walk tonight.  A long walk through the arts district of Phoenix while listening to Lorde was exactly what I needed.

I had a relaxed school week as I was on fall break.  I’m not really looking forward to getting back of the swing of things on Monday, but I’m planning on going to a café that afternoon.  Usually, leaving the house motivates me.

I’m still loving The Secret History!  It draws you in from the beginning and is full of beautiful and vivid descriptions.  What fascinates me is it isn’t action-packed build-to-climax (i.e., no one is fighting each other, no one is sick, no one is even dramatically in love); the main characters often just sit around talking about Greek and getting drunk.  I think this is precisely what draws readers in.  Something unbelievable and frankly disturbing will happen and it’s brewing under a perfectly calm atmosphere.

Hope your day was relaxing yet productive and you took some quality self-care time for yourself tonight :))
