hello!!!! so here is a life update for the first time in like a month

it is mid summer break rn and all of my vacations are out of the way finally. i say ‘finally’ because so far summer has felt a little less relaxed than id like it to be - my vacations were lovely but i am very much looking forward to sleeping in my own bed, showering in my own shower, and just seeing my best friends that are leaving oh so soon either up north or to the tippy tip of florida!!

seattle was every bit as enchanting as i dreamt it’d be and i fell under its spell the second i got out of that train - even at 2am after a 35 hour train ride and what i could only describe as a hell of a trip to the station. i always feel homesick on vacation but lemme tell you i couldve stay in that city forever.

this most recent trip to california was not as dreamy but quite sweet in its own way. it was a typical family trip - the kind i’ve been taking for years. our cousin bailed on taking us to six flags but we did get to explore downtown los angeles a lot - we went to the last bookstore, little damage (cute but so OBVIOUSLY GENTRIFICATION??? do not recommend going more than once. felt very guilty. bought from like 12 little food carts to make my conscious a little clearer and also just because they’re my favorite part of LA), and the broad where we got to see the infinity mirrored room!! we also went to the most adorable italian restaurant the day we spent at newport that i just fell in love with. our trip was a day shorter than expected so no luck with the broken relationship musuem - but my fingers are crossed for a trip to california with my reno-bound friends so hopefully we’ll catch it or the neon musuem in glendale then. but i am also just excited to see them more this summer now that i’m home for the summer for good. i’ve missed them - especially during this last trip to cali - and am so pumped to see them even if it’s just our regular trips to coffee or cute lil restaurants!!

bailey leaves first though so i’m throwin her a lil goin away party on the 31st. we’re goin to be pen pals when she’s in cali and i’m SO excited bc how frickin cute is that!!! just a lil something sweet to always be lookin forward to. plus it gives me a reason to buy cute stationery hehe who knew college would transform me into a studyblr girl????

i’ll need to get/make vincent and ni-ni cute going away gifts for their apt/dorms up there too but they’re not leavin til a bit later so i’ve got time. but i have MONEY NOW WHICH IS SO COOL. for so long my life has just been a cycle of having to pay my family back for everything thats been goin on lately. and now im free!!! and have the time to cook and read my books and everything i’ve been dreaming of for so long

on a bit of a negative note though i have been feeling so incredibly angry lately. ppl have rly treated me so badly lately and i’m so sick of it and i’m so sick of a lot of what i see online on snap and twitter and instagram that i just deleted instagram altogether and deleted basically everyone except my bffs off snap and am really contemplating deleting twitter soon too - its just hard bc like hello?? memes?? but i feel like so much of my self esteem has come from how my feed is lookin at that point in time and like how wild is that??? that is not the kind of life i want to live!!! also: my family doesnt ever want to take me out to drive ever. very annoying. i just want to learn already. ive had my permit for 7 months. but maybe now that things have simmered down things will get better. we’ll have to see.

but altogether i’m not really complaining. lifes alright right now. im enrolled in all my classes for fall semester. im sorta on the hunt for a new job but not too stressed about it. ill have to fill out some scholarship paperwork in the next few weeks but its not so bad considering. lifes alright.
