i am broken and empty.

this weekend i found out i am broken and empty. i had an indescribable experience and was overcome with emotion that i had kept inside for far too long.
this weekend i felt something i had never felt before.
this weekend i made new friends. i sat alone in silence. i was no longer intimidated.
this weekend i cried with sadness and with joy.
this weekend i laughed so hard i cried.
this weekend i had an extremely slap happy night.
this weekend i ate too much candy and ordered a late night pizza that was completely unnecessary. i sang with true feelings. i loved wholely.
this weekend i played intense dodge ball and roughed it for a day.
this weekend i survived without the internet and stayed up way too late.
this weekend i was cold, but warm on the inside.
this weekend i found something that had been missing. i found You.
this weekend i slept in my clothes and i listened to the silence.
this weekend i ate jello and shockers, but not at the same time.
this weekend i was me and i found the me on the inside. i took a nap for the first time in a long time and it felt so good.
this weekend i had fun.
this weekend i learned, i pondered, i read, i understood, i contemplated, and i was unsure all at the same time.
this weekend was real.

this week do a random act of kindness. you will find that one little gesture has the ability to bring a big amount of joy.

a day just for me

(because sometimes we all just need this little reminder...take a mental note for yourself.)

i finished finals early today and decided to go shopping. i went to barnes and noble and anthropologie. got a cute shirt and a mini blue vase for who knows what! something new for me, you know for a new year. i spent up all my gift cards too. i got some girly teen books that are completely pointless and predictable, but provide mindless inner goodness.

a sad but true confession: so i was having a mini dilemma...i was feeling the need to eat some chocolate, but there was none to be found in the house. i had to go to the last resort...i broke into the bag of baking chocolate chips. so bad, but truly necessary. i mean a craving is a craving. totally worth it. Nestle's semi-sweet saves the day.

i have listened to this song so much...like it is probably becoming unhealthy for me to hear it over and over again...obsessed doesn't even begin to describe it.
