seeping summer

Wednesday, August 14, 2013


i hate sharing information about my life, for some reason it makes my skin thin and i feel extremely vulnerable ... this probably explains the vagueness of my blog.


but i learned something extremely valuable the past year i need to share.


i am not going to go into details but the girl with brunette hair, that dreams of traveling the world every two minutes was no longer there. it just took me a while to figure it out.


you could say i was numb to the world and people around me.


you may remember this post.
the year leading up to this post was amazing, i loved almost every second of it. but i just never realized how lost i was getting and how confused i was along the way.

then two months before that post it hit me how lost i had become. i laid in bed and cried myself to sleep almost every night, and i'm not a crier. (let me tell you the only time i had ever cried myself to sleep before was when Riley my beautiful dog died over two years ago)

Something wasn't right, i new i wasn't happy and i had become so lost in the maze of my life i didn't even remember what it was like to truly be myself. I forgot what hope, happiness, and laughter meant to me, i was lost in someone else's definition.

then one morning i woke up before the sun and i felt that that the air was different, than ever before. (sometimes you just know your panda express fortune cookie, that promise change, is about the come true.)

this summer has seeped 
into every crack of my soul.

i didn't realize how broken i was until i was free, until the cracks started to be filled.

and thank the heavens for the seeping because
i found myself. 
i found hope.  
and i am surrounded by more love than i thought possible.


i don't know what i did right but i am surrounded by amazing people. they leave me feeling real, raw, and boundless.
just like the people around you should.

every morning i wake up before the sun and know that the brunette girl is back.

May. 




 










It amazes me how many times I can go to the same places on this island again and again and still be amazed. 
But then I realize that I will probably never get over this place
and that God truly created perfection--thanks may.


Siera the two weeks were perfect. 


And congrats to you and Adam you are perfect for each other..

Tide pools thanks for making me feel like a mermaid.


Carnival thanks for the smell of deep-fried-instant-clog-your-arteries-cholesterol-rising food and ring of fire I feel amer-i-can.

And Then God Created Perfection 
April Edition













one of the best months I can remember.
I lost some of my loved ones to the mainland but
I gained some of the greatest roommates I could ask for.
I swam with the sharkies.
Camped on the beach.
Saw the wild dolpins.
Snorkled in the crystal clear hot tub temperature water.
Surfed so many fun waves.
Sneaked into the funnest resorts.
Celebrated easter and made glittery eggs.
Finished my sophomore year of college.
Fell in love with San Fransisco.
and 
Now Si comes tomorrow.
It's perfect.
Now lets pray I make it through the next six weeks.


xoxo,

And then God created perfection
Meet March
it was quite the month.
(excuse the poor quality of a few photos..
 blowing up iphones photos is somewhat less than ideal).



















                                                                           









It rained droplets and sunshine
we jumped and we floated
laughed and smiled
the leprechauns came and the Irish were lucky
fiesta time and Dorito tacos
locks of love, hunger banquet, and invisible children
sushi time and chocolate waffles
brown hair and sun burnt skin
slip n' slides ... double or nothin'
late night SRD sessions
hot tubs and mopeds
disney resorts that are straight heaven sent
farmers markets and mango trees
big bird and the crew back together
and wayy to much ice cream and mochi
may the odds be ever in your favor.

xoxo,
