this is what summer looks like to me.
teetering stacks of thick, familiar books.
glaring bright sunlight reflected off salty, cool ocean water.
sparklers illuminating a warm summer night.
waking up cozy in the morning light under fresh sheets to no alarm.
time to create, to paint, to write, to live, to breathe.
following the signs to the beach, barefoot on the scorching sand.
a steaming cup of coffee in the morning in a cool house.
fresh strawberries washed clean under the kitchen sink.
windows down, radio on, feeling the rushing air tousle your hair and buffet your hand out the sunroof drives.
i'm way past ready.

currently + rambles
In case anyone hasn’t noticed, I’ve been a bit absentee
lately. I’m super sorry. I’ve been in a bit of a dry spot. I haven’t been
feeling lots of inspiration and I’ve been very busy and blahblahblah everything
else you’re already used to hearing from people after a break.
Well, this just a post to say I might be taking a bit of
a break for a few weeks. HAH. I’m actually not laughing I’m kind of sad :’) Loads of work are waiting
to be done before the end of the semester and work is a thing and helping figure
out wedding plans with my sister and so if I have any extra time it will
probably be spent reading. I might be popping back in on occasion, but I just wanted
to let you know. Also, tons of tags are happening to me, so THIS IS REALLY HARD
TO NOT SPEND TIME ON BLOGGING. But I will contain myself. Here’s a little splurge
for you lovelies though since I’ve kept you waiting for so long.
Music: Disney playlists on repeat, lots of Classical and
Baroque era music for my class (so beautiful actually- these composers talents
amaze me), twenty one pilots (sometimes I think I’m not in the mood for them, but
then I listen to one song and I can’t stop halp), Lukas Graham lsadfk, For King
and Country
Reads: Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift, We Cannot Be
Silent by Albert Mohler, The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes, Galatians, and
currently, The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, and Stars Between the Sun
and Moon by Lucia Jang.
Smells: coffee always, the scent of stale smoke on the
breath of person sitting beside me lol why, the musky comfort of my bed, the pleasantly
unfamiliar smell of a new friends home, OUTSIDE AND GREEN. And mint chocolate chip
cookies cause I can. Earth.
Eats: Frozen pizza and cookies. #healthyliving Eggs constantly. Coffee. Clementines. Yogurt and granola. And chicken. And wraps.
Wears(?):
shorts and a tank top this afternoon what!!!!! Mostly just nice stuff
for work (blegh). Leggings and a tank right now. Tomorrow I don't know
what I'll be wearing, but I'm determined to look good cause I have a big
test and feeling good about how I look boosts my confidence level x394.
Thoughts: if I do not have love I am nothing. I need to
start a war room or wall in my closet. Basically everything on my twitter feed.
I forgot how brilliant Doctor Who is (s/o to a friend for the reminder via
sleep over;). Also forgot how good it feels not to set an alarm even though it
was an accident. I got my license today *flskdfj* This article.
Feels: Civil War is coming out in less than a month and I’m
already crying. I don’t want my sister to move out and I don’t want to think
about it either so I just push it out of mind because who has time for feels
about that? How God speaks to us through his Word!!!!!!!!!! 2 cool. Tears
because summer is so close yet so far. Driving alone with the windows down and
80 degree weather and radio on. Yes.
So, that’s it for now! If you want to keep up with me
during my break go follow me on Twitter and Instagram! Pinterest is also an
option. I miss y’all!!!! S/O to Melinda at Called to Belong for tagging me for this "what I'm doing now" thingy. Hers was full of gifs and definitely way better than mine, so go look it up! Anyone else who wants to do the tag should do that. ^-^
ps // I got to guest post over at Silver Mess (which is one
of my fave blogs- Rachel is the coolest) so go check that out!!!!!! It’s about
a day in the life (of me lol)
