Hello 2022

 Hello my lovelies, 

I did not realize it has almost been a year since I last blogged. It's kinda crazy to me that I only posted once last year. I had two draft posts with five words waiting to be fulfilled for your beautiful brains which I never got to finish. It is hard being a perfectionist writer because I want to feel confident in what I write and it always flatters me when I get compliments. It is still unbelievable after all these years that people enjoy my blogs! Thank you for reading as always. 

While I am typing this, I am starting my 2022 Spring semester of college! I realized the other day that I graduated in 2019 and it still feels like last year. Time flies. Time also doesn't feel real at the same time because so many things feel like they have happened yesterday when it was a year or two ago. How crazy? 

Last year had amazing memories and travels. I went to North Dakota, Minnesota, Florida, Maryland, and Texas last summer. I got to see family I don't see often and create really fun memories to look back on. I also got to read a lot of books. I set out with the goal of reading 30 books last year and I achieved it! Now you must be wondering: what books have stayed in your head? 

One book: Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. This book destroyed my heart and made me bawl like a child but I loved every minute of it. It has such beautiful writing and you don't have to know mythology to read this. I absolutely loved it. I adore Patroclus with my heart. 

Fun fact: I have a magnet on my mini-fridge in my dorm that says "I mourn the death of fictional characters" and it is true. Last week, I finished a book called They Both Die At The End... I also cried to that book. I set my goal this year to be 30 books again because it felt like the perfect amount so I could be a college student and bookworm! Cheers! 

January 24th is Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day which is honestly one of my favorite days of the year. The Moebius community feels like a bonus family and it would mean the absolute world to me if you wore purple to smile with your heart. It is an indescribable feeling to see so much support on that day and I love spreading awareness for this. 

Lastly, I am 21 now and turning 22 next month (you know I will be playing Taylor Swift). I reread things I post sometimes and laugh at myself because I do not know the future. I have had this blog since I was 16 which is crazy to me. I can't believe it. 

Everyone is growing every day and our minds change. We are all having our own ups and downs in this world and as always, I want to reassure you that you are never alone. The world can be feeling like it is on your shoulders and there is nothing you can do except lock yourself in. It is okay to be sad and I am still trying to learn that is okay to ask for help. 

I am really grateful for the people in my life and the patience and support I have. There isn't really a message in this blog to take with you but I just wanted to update you all on my life. 

Hopefully this year I will have more than just this posted for you. 

Thank you,
