For spring break, my friends and I went across the country to NY,NY.

And it was beautiful.

We spent days walking around the city, seeing things that the locals would want to see while also taking time to be tourists. I cannot tell you how many tea shops we stopped in and how many dumplings I had. It was so cold the entire time though and some people would joke about how us Floridians made room for them to go down their on their spring break.

 My favorite day up there was when we stopped in the Natural History museum. I could have spent at least a day in there looking at all the animals and displays they had all around. I wanted to read everything.

                        

Goodbye, New York

2014

Its been awhile, since ringing in the new year I've been running around like crazy.

I quit my job, but thats a whole other story that I dont even want to get into again.

I'm taking this time off of work to relax and experience and give myself time to fall in love with stupid little things again. 

One week I went to Savannah with a couple of friends and it was such a beautiful day

 We spent time in forsyth park and met a man who has been to 20 different states since January with his pet cat that kind of just chills out on his shoulders. And we went into some of our favorite shops and got way too cold so made the short trip home.

2014 is bringing some great adventures and ideas and revelations. What I'm most excited about now is New York on the 17th for a week and whatever else this year wants to throw at me.

It honestly scares me how much changes in less than a months time.

This group of people meant everything to me, and now, for whatever reason my relationship with some of them is dangling on a thin string. I'm hurt. 

What are things going to be like in six more months? Am I even going to talk to them anymore?

Lately..

If I could photograph everything with my eyes, I would have so many more stories and love notes to write about my life as of lately. I am so completely happy with where I am. I am at a place of peace that I never knew could exist. Although it's taken a lot of heartache and deliberate mental punches to my face, I'm happy to be here. I feel as though I can do everything I've always wanted to.

I wrote a short post on leaving my ex boyfriend. It was so very hard to do. I had so many emotional ties to him. I was dependent on him financially, I had no idea how I was able to get by after him. I needed to leave him though. I felt worthless and numb when I was with him. I wasn't allowed to be 20, I had no room to grow as a person. I left him in May, and since then,I've been getting closer to the friends who had always been there since I met them. I've done so much in just a few short months. 

My favorite boys, Eldred and Diggie and I took a trip to Savannah, we explored as much as we could in just one day. We spent so much on Savannah bee company honey and Tea from the Tea room. I really wanted to go into the Paris Market, but it was closed by the time we got there. Next time!

I've gone a few counties over with the same two people and explore Glenn st Mary Nursery. We stayed there a few nights, I saved a turtle, saw deer, rabbits and beautiful old buildings. I was able to breathe fully for the first time out there.

I've gone to Big Talbot Island with Diggie and we climbed on all of the fallen trees, held baby hermit crabs and just basked in the sun all day until we went back into town and got candy from a local shop called, Sweet Pete's.

I couldn't ask for a better summer. I'm blessed and in love with all of the wonderful things that have come into my life.

Happy August, Y'all.
