Dramamine

This is a post that I have been putting off for quite some time now because I have known the caliber of the task. A few weeks ago I hoped on a cruise ship and embarked into the beautiful Mexican Riviera. It was the most relaxing week of my whole entire life! Words can't effectively describe how serene the whole experience was. I read the book Into The Wild [which changed my life], I took a fair amount of Dramamine, ate way too much food and pretty much spent the week dancing to the beat of my own drum. Now I will bombard you with pictures to demonstrate other enjoyable aspects of my trip..
This is Lovers Beach, it was pretty.

I was a sucker and gave into nearly every solitary thing that people tried to make money from. Even the glass bottom taxi, I thought it was quality. This gentleman swindled me, which was irritating but funny.Yes this is the glass bottom taxi, very classy. We did all kinds of sensational things like snorkeling, rock climbing, zip lining and repelling. It was cool but Megan's face in this picture is even cooler. This adorable little place called Yelapa won my heart.Meet our tour guide who strangely resembles Usher. I was a fan of this guy, he did cool things. In this picture he is offering to give us a free shot of strong alcohol. Thoughtful right? Lastly the cruise ship was filled with the neatest of things.

I Can Keep Rhythm With No Metronome

It's a must, a cheer shout out has to be made. Last week I officially completed my last cheer activity![Which is bizarre because it has basically consumed my last three years] It was all very bittersweet and a few tears were shed. Allow me to get a little cheesy here and tell you how amazing the experience has been for me. I know what you're thinking.. A bunch of girls waving their arms around, wearing coordinated outfits and yelling nonsense can't be all that important. Well there might be some truth in that but there is so much more to it then the eye can see. Often cheer was a little out of my element and I questioned my motives but now that I look back at it that was one of the best things for me. Not only did I have some of the funnest times while on this team but I became friends with so many amazing girls. Girls that I would never have had the opportunity to meet if it wasn't for cheer. I really will miss these guys, check out the evolution!

Here Comes The Sun

Nothing can more adequately describe my mood then the song Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. Hence it has been played on repeat for roughly two hours. LIFE IS EXQUISITE, Happy Sunday!

I've Been Having Good Days

My life has been so crisp lately, I don't know what to share in fear that I won't do it's loveliness justice. Every possible aspect has been at a peak and I couldn't be more pleased. Here are some of the silly perks.

  • Going camping with some friends
  • Apples and peanut butter
  • The Post-It notes that have taken over my television
  • Beating people who trash talk me in words with friends
  • Simple architecture
  • How hard my friends and I laughed at these hideous pictures taken while at girl's state basketball

  • Going rock climbing
  • These stunning shoes
  • The way this song makes me feel
  • Sleeping in my car during school
  • The pillows in my hotel room

Adolescence's Valentine

Welp today is Valentines day and quite frankly I'm a little sour about this holiday. The only thing that I am less fond of at the moment is Justin Bieber but we will save that spill for another post. Let me break it down for you.

  • It is a nice day for people ages 5-12, while still a child Valentines day is pristine. All that matters is free candy and decorating goofy boxes. It's also not too bad for those who are married, other then the fact that it may leave a small dent in one's bank account. Yet for those who are in their adolescences its nothing but dull. I feel like its a day celebrating a bunch of hype that many of us don't even understand.
  • The term "single awareness day" is used way too much. What a foolish thing to say. I'm pretty sure if you are single you know it every other day of the year it doesn't take some silly love fest to point that out.
  • Don't get me wrong I think that love is a many splendid things or at least I imagine it to be, but a part of me finds it a little discouraging that we must dedicate a day for people to declare their love for each other. Shouldn't we be doing that every day?
  • Valentines day gifts kill me. Who decided that an over sized stuffed elephant and a box of stale chocolates was a suitable gift for the love of your life? By no means do I think that a heart shaped balloon and pre-written hallmark card isn't kind but really lets put some thought into things.
Enough of this, Happy valentines day folks may all your crazy love fantasies come true!

If all else fails resort to some classy matching tattoos like so

My Small Corner

I look at my blog and I laugh. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to follow up on the random and pointless things that I post. Honestly what kind of a person wouldn't be thrilled to know what piece of art made me smile or the fact that I lost my lucky ring breaks my heart? I guess sometimes I sort of feel guilty in a way. I know I can be one of those people who posts things that you read and then say wow did I really just waste five minutes out of my precious life looking through that? Then I think again, it's my blog right? It's all about me, which is strange. I mean I know I could be one of those normal people who writes about their tender love affairs or how touching their grandparents stories are, but I save that stuff for my journal. I've turned my blog into a place where I put beautiful things, in all shapes and forms that I can't help but share. Take it or leave it I suppose.
