Clickable links? My-oh-my this world is craz-ay.
Hey so I just found a blog that I thought I'd recommend... It's called the PetiteElefant which I'm linking.... HERE: CLICK ME I"M WONDERFUL! Seriously though, this place has everything. Ok well it's a girly one, but for girly peeps it has everything. Today is just a rainy day and I've had to cancel all my plans and now, well, I'm just planning on making "citrus scrub" and things of the beauty/organicy/weirdy variety. AND ENJOY IT. And also hopefully finish some things on my list... So y'know that's what's up. Just thought I'd share what I'm up too...

WARNING! GUY CRUSH BLOG NOW FLEE!
Soo... Read the title. Just in case.
Honestly I had my first more serious relationship-thing this year. We weren't even officially dating but it was just more grownup. Not kid stuff.
I had one relationship-thingy previously (I have relationship definition issues if you haven't noticed) and it was always so serious. On again off again serious deep talks with emotions. When it ended I was so torn up and crying and crap but then y'know I moved on. We're exes and friends.
But now that it's over again... Well, this time it's so different because it was serious but I know will be friends when uni is in session again it's just this time it's the casual easy flirty physical (sorry guys) and like all the other stuff. I just feel empty without talking to him and I miss---
I just feel empty?
Terrible. So terrible. I shouldn't still be writing all this stuff and complaining and being so freaking self-involved. I'm sorry.
I mean to just say a sweet: I miss you.

Update-y Blog..
Hey! What's up? When was the last time we just... talked.. Been a while eh? Like, ever, on this blog.
So. To remedy: talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Done.
No seriously, a few things have changed in my life recently:
1. I started work today. Not my "all summer" job, just the job I'm taking before my real one starts.
2. I officially have been out of school for a month now. Classes have been over anyways.
3. It's starting to look more spring like here!
4. I'm still going strong on my "eat better" campaign...
5. My friends graduate in 9 days! NINE!!
aaaandddd:
6. My best friend gets home in a month from yesterday!! (not that I'm keeping track or anything...)
So yah. That's what's up. In summery (haha, I joke): work, no more school, spring, health, friends! Aren't those all things to be happy for? I sure think so!
Let me know in the comments what you think are worthwhile things to take note of and be excited for :)

Thoughts..
So this is one of those thinking-as-I'm-writing blogs. Ye be warned. Only those who are willing to subject themselves to the oddity that lives in the world inside my head.
Hmmm. So I'm not really "depressed" per se. I'm just not happy where I am. I mean, I'm fully aware that I should be happy. Don't get me wrong. This is all very -- how do I say ---- "#firstworldproblems" applicable. And I know and accept that. Accept that I shouldn't care, or no, that I shouldn't find fault and issue with the life that I should in actuality be grateful for...
That was a lot. Take a moment. Good? Ok. So here's the deal, I just don't feel like I "fit" with my life. My life when I live with my family that is. It's just not "me" and I'm trying to accept that this is nobody's fault and that y'know my family is fantastic... just not for me. But, the sad truth of the matter is that deep down - and sometimes not so deep - I blame my parents.
They're not understanding. But that's not to say that it's completely my fault I was raised in a way that speaking your mind and expressing yourself was always encouraged... It's just that around here I don't fit very well with the way everyone else's expression works...
I don't know if any of that makes sense or if you can relate... I hope for your sake - if you can relate - that this feeling of displacement encourages hope. You're not alone.
Or maybe that's just something I'm saying to encourage myself that "you" who relates even exits.
Nah. Let's go with option 1. That's it for rambling thoughts, sorry this was so poorly written & altogether depressing. Next time lets make it happy yes? *cue talking to self?*

An updated To-Do list...
So here's what I still need to do... Do you guys want to do this? I think all of these are good things to just do. Actually take advantage of them and DO them. Force yourself whenever you're bored to get up and actually DO something. But something good. Not just y'know walking downstairs or something...
Note: I might start adding things. As I have with #130&131. I think this is good so that I can look back and see everything that I've accomplished this summer and have it not be over in the first 3 weeks or something y'know?
002. Walk the scenic route.
003. Give away the bus/gas money you saved, by walking, to someone who needs it.
007. Stay up all night.
008. Learn the cheesiest joke ever and tell it to strangers.
009. Climb a tree.
011. Pick flowers for your house.
012. Call your grandma, aunt, mom, or someone you care about but haven’t spoken too in a while.
013. Tell them you love them.
014. Volunteer your time for a cause you care about.
