Rainy Days & Nights, Lydia, and Happiness
Every single song on Lydia’s new album is beautiful, I cannot even express it in writing. I’ve been anticipating and hoping so much for them to release another album, and a few days ago I was probably the happiest girl knowing that I didn’t have to hope any longer. Their music has always had such an impact on me, I’m not exactly sure if it’s the lyrics that are so beautifully written and which I can relate to, or simply their unique sound. Lydia will forever be one of my absolute favorite bands for many, many reasons. They’re playing a show about two hours away from me next week, and if I could make it somehow it would mean the absolute world to me. I think seeing them live would make them that much more meaningful, I’ve waited for about four years!
On another note, today I stayed home from school because yet again, I have had a horrible migraine going on four days now. :( Although I couldn’t have picked a better day to stay home, it’s been pouring constantly all day and it’s definitely helped me just relax and unwind from this busy week. On a brighter note, last week I ordered a bunch, (maybe too much) of fall clothing pieces that are essential this year. Today two of the shipments have arrived and can I just express how excited I am to soon be breaking out the fall fashion!? I love everything about it. Most of the clothing I bought is for my trip to NYC, so that makes it even more exciting!
Besides this migraine that I can’t seem to shake, I’ve been in a really, really good mood today. I’ve been thinking optimistically so much lately about a few situations, and have decided I need to keep this outlook to move forward through them. It’s definitely working, and I couldn’t be any more happier & content.
This is where I’ve been most recently spending any amount of free time I can get! It’s even more gorgeous in person, but it helps me escape for awhile, and just think about things without stressing.
So much to talk about!
THINKING ABOUT: How long it’s been since I’ve been on here, and just how much has happened since!
LISTENING TO: The Rocket Summer - Break It Out
FEELING: Content
LOOKING FORWARD TO: My birthday, and everything else included in these next few weeks/months!
INCLUDED TAGS: My birthday plans/New York City!, school recently, college plan, & random thoughts.
I’ve been so busy these past few weeks, I’ve barely had much free time to go on here much, sorry! :( Soooso much has happened since I last posted an update! Mainly very good, although some not but which I did learn a lot from and will continue to be experiences that help me grow as a person. Anyways though, to get straight to the good stuff..I’m going to NYC for my 18th birthday (November 16th)! I cannot express to you just how excited and anxious I am to be visiting again. For those who don’t know, the majority of my family lives in New Jersey, although most of them work and own businesses in Manhattan. Most often when we travel to visit them we only have a time span of a few days limiting us to only see family in NJ and not travel to the city. I last went to NYC in 2008, and since then I’ve had such a longing to go back. It’s a bit hard to explain, but when I’m there I feel a sense of being “at home”, both NJ and NYC. With most of my family up there, it just doesn’t feel the same being here in Florida. There are SO many opportunities and just all around excitement that the city has to offer to everyone! Before this ends up being extremely detailed, long story short, for my 18th birthday my Mom and I are flying up for 7 days, half being spent in NYC and the other half being spent with my family in NJ. This will be the absolute best birthday I can ever, ever ask for, I’m so thankful for everything involving this trip! In addition, I cannot wait to get away for awhile. There’s been quite a bit of stress happening lately, mainly school with a mix of a few other things..but it will be the perfect opportunity to release this stress and just remember where my heart is, which most certainly is in that city.
I’ve also determined my final “college plan” if you’d like to call it that, and all I can say is that it is one which I am now definite on, and will continue to strive and stay motivated until I reach it. (p.s.- It involves NYC too!). It’s so surreal to believe, but I believe that once you set your heat solely to your goals, you will reach them. It has been the biggest dream of mine, and as cliché as it may sound- you only live once. & You need to go where you feel your heart belongs. Which is why I am now set with my current college plan, because all the other ones I have considered, did not include where I believe my heart belongs to be and I was not as passionate as I will be towards this current one. I’ll have an entire post dedicated to this subject too once everything is definitely all set!
So all in all, that’s just a short summary of what has been happening lately! I’ll be leaving on November 18th for my trip, and that day cannot come any sooner! In the meantime though I’ve been having the best time shopping for the trip, I absolutely love everything about fall fashion (besides the $$$ being spent at the rate I tend to shop). I’ll try my best to be on here more than I have been, especially on days my school work isn’t too heavy! ♡ What have you guy’s been up to, and do you have any special fall/winter plans? :)

Emotional Bag Check - Secretly a Music Site
I’ve been on this website for about 30 minutes now, and to know that you may have made someones day a little bit better by simply sending a song & short message is a great feeling.
Who ever thought of this idea is lovely, and this website should definitely be better known!
I think I may just be
The biggest overanalyzer. I’m constantly thinking “if this happened, than this would have occurred, and if that occurred, than that would lead to this, and if that happened it would have led to this…”. I don’t mean it in a sense that I regret things, or that it’s a terrible trait to have either. What it depends on is if I’m overanalyzing a rather bad situation, because in that sense it’s best to accept what has happened, and that it cannot be changed, and most importantly thinking about it too much will not provide me a better feeling. Or on the other hand if it’s a good situation, than not to think too much into it, as it results in my hopes rising, and then further leading to disappointments. When to begin with, it was a good situation that made myself happy! My mind runs a mile a minute, and sometimes I wish something could shake me, ‘till I stop and realize that my thoughts are getting the best of me. It’s the littlest of details or the littlest situation that can make my mind wander for hours or even days. I am always thinking “what if that little detail never happened, where would things be right now?” or “if this happens, what is going to happen in result of that?”. You can easily say that I’m definitely one who thinks before they speak, and most certainly before I take action. It’s not a bad thing at all, but what’s bad is that sometimes that thinking needs to be reminded to slow down, and to just listen to what I feel is best, right at that very moment. To always be reminded that good and bad experiences will occur continuously as a cycle, which all provide me with growth as a person. And that I know in the end, I will be thankful for each and every one of them.
