Quick snapshot:
*Tumblr has made me it's bitch because it's like facebook,twitter,and stumbleupon had a threesome and fused all their best genes to produce this glorious, glorious site. (get one, join the habit, and follow me at chrisholla )
*A close second is TOMS. My TOMS shoes showed up and they are so glorious and I'm already planning on a second pair #awesome addictions
*I got a ton done on my internship - I have one thing to write and then just scheduling things, altering as firstlink asks me to, and promotion!
*I GOT A CAR. I will admit it is a bit of a piece; the gear shift is incorrectly marked so I can't look at it or I end up in neutral, the gas peddle is a smidge temperamental, the butt is high so it is an adjustment to use, it is definitely beat up, and perhaps it smells ever so faintly of pet (I have it on a febreeze regime to fix that) and driving it makes me feel like a newb again, I nearly hit the garbage can, the mailbox, some teenagers, a car, and that's it - on the plus side - it can only improve. Watch out FM area - you've been warned.
* I got my hair cut ...I think that was this week. It's truly a new me - only I've been all off on working out cause with all the packing there is not much room anywhere so I'm excited to get up to school and get back to the fantastic wellness center.
Despite all that updating goodness the actual reason I am writing tonight (besides putting off washing the dishes) is because I found this fantastic quote/pic that hit a chord with me, especially in light of this year, summer, and week
This week in particular I went through a lot of changes, physical, emotional, and other, less easily described aspects. In particular an old friend contacted me and we got closure. We said kind goodbyes, and thank you for the memories and this week when I look back at the pictures, even those riddles with previous heartbreaks and former friends and it didn't hurt, because it didn't matter anymore. Like this saying illustrates I've left those pieces of my life, and heart behind and it has been so much easier to feel the sunshine without them.
In addition, as my old friend and I discussed, I couldn't and wouldn't be who I am now and I wouldn't be in this great place if I had stayed stuck in those relationships and friendships that didn't work, and often brought out the worst in each other - staying for the sake of staying seems so foolish now, though I can never see it at the time I hope next time I'll recall this saying and leave those pieces and move forward, into the sunshine.
Hoping you love and sunshine in your future!
P.S. any MSUMers out there, watch out for STLF this year on campus we got big things planned, starting with some sweet freebies at orientation! Look for our table!
