I guess the most important events in my life lately have been dealing with my gradual growth and change. Most consider this a normal, day by day activity, but let me tell you something, I'm anything but normal. I usually despise change when I am forced to deal with it and I usually avoid it at all costs. I mean, seriously- I have used the same lotion since birth and if you don't believe me just ask my closest friends- I constantly smell of baby lotion! Now don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to all changes and I even love some... especially if they are for the better-- I just often find myself stuck between what I had and what I now have, which makes for a series of strange events. I suppose that changes are inevitable, but for some reason this past month has been change after change after change.
I recently got into a car accident and ruined my first car, as well as, joined the "team rands" in ruining cars! YAY! Obviously, because of my lack of car my father and I spent hours trying to find a decent replacement....okay, he spent hours, but I declared yes or no! I had only one criteria... it be the same car I had. Most, I understand, would take this opportunity to find something new and different, but I just wanted my little white car back. Thankfully we found a little red car that pretty much looks the exact same, but was actually a steal! A little newer and a little nicer is always a good time! I'm enjoying the new car and even though I don't know every thing about her yet, I figure we have time!
New car leads to new hair, right? For the past... oh I dunno- since I was eighteen I have had practically the same hair style. Black, with emo side swoop bangs, and straight. My hair, I often say, is my safety blanket so for me to change it is a pretty different and big deal. It is the same color and even the same length but I have always wanted the bangs that Katy Perry has and practically every librarian in the country. Simple, yet modern. Completely nervous about the ordeal, I had a co-worker work his magic in my bathroom and I must say, I adore the change. However, every comment (other than my mother's) was, "it's different...." with an awkward pause and a slight smile. Thanks for telling me it looks like crap in the most sincere and nicest way possible. Haha. Just kidding. I think it will take some getting used to and my roommate, I know, will never like it- but it's there and I am gonna enjoy the changes. P.S. My mom was actually the first to say that she likes it... strange.... really strange....
New hair, new car, what else? Little things here and there and yes, I am completely overwhelmed. I usually take things a step at a time and for some reason, life isn't allowing that type of philosophy anywhere near by. I hope that life calms down a little bit because finals and my massive research papers are just around the corner. Did you hear me life? I am a little stressed, back off! No, I'm handling everything one day at a time and my free spirit is getting more and more practice. I plan to spend my free time this week sitting outside on the lawn reading my new book and listening to this song....
and maybe snacking on some chocolates. It's time for spring and even though I detest spring clothing, I am determined to enjoy the new summer sun. Bring it on, life, bring it on.
Other than that, and my slight failure at being a student at the moment, I really have nothing new happening to me. I hope this catches up those of you reading this blog and hopefully next time I will have something of more substance prepared! haha.
As I close this blog I do realize that my life is practically nothing compared to other's out there struggling to survive, so I must say... my life is simple in comparison and I am blessed that each day I can get up and do the things that I desire. I wouldn't be here without my family and friends and I sure as heck wouldn't be here without my stubborn personality. I am thankful that my life consists of getting new hair cuts and not searching for lost loved ones. To those I can do so little for, in my own sense, I am praying for you.
<3 Katy
