Oh Hi!
Long time no see sounds like an understatement. I haven’t talked to myself on the internet in quite a long time. I’ve been spending a lot of time going out with my friends. What started as a one-time Anna Apple’s in town, let’s hit Capri became a weekly three-day bender for the past two months. It’s been fun, I won’t lie, but I feel like I’ve kind of lost myself a little bit. I haven’t had time to do anything I usually like to do, not blogging, not painting, not reading. I was in a really good rhythm with reading and I’ve been stuck on the same book since this supposed party girl era started. I’m almost done with it though, and I’m gonna get back to it soon. I’ve been a lot more joyous and outgoing, and that’s a good thing, but I don’t think I’ve been like, happy, to my core. I just haven’t had any balance. It’s made me feel kind of like a shell of myself.
That’s really the only thing I’ve been up to recently. Well, I did take a trip to Wisconsin, which in this phase of my summer meant we went bar-hopping and I got wine drunk at a wedding. But, Caryn’s wedding was stunning, and I had such a great trip. I’m so lucky to have friends from all over the country. I had the time of my life seeing Diana and Caryn’s hometowns, and seeing them with all my Fantasyland Girls.
During my trip, I got to visit my college program roommate’s hometown, see Chicago for the first time (flicked the bean!), explore Milwaukee, eat really good pizza, go to a real Wisconsin Culver’s, and see our beautiful friend Caryn marry the love of her life. I also got to be wine drunk at a wedding, true grown-up experience.
It feels good to be at my computer screen again, to start again.
I woke up early today, for the first time in awhile. For the first time in my life, I’ve been waking up past 9, and napping for hours by the afternoon. I want to get back to being me. I’ve stayed up till sunrise a lot the past couple weeks, worth it every time but maybe I’ll actually try going to sleep tonight. And I think I’ll start writing again. The sun is shining, and I’m going to work. My lunch is packed and my hair is done. I feel like me. I like feeling like me again.
From, Willianny
