Inspiration: 8.21.13.

 

Current State :: Moving. Organizing. Cleaning. Moving is one of the most irritating processes one has to endure. I never realize how much stuff I have until I have to pack it all up and then unpack it. So much JUNK. I don't even know how it accumulates since I try to keep my space as minimal as possible yet, here we are. Tossing and donating like crazy. Meanwhile, my mom decided if I was moving my rooms needed to be completely painted before I did so. So, here I am, taping and painting my life away for the past couple days so today's post is pure inspiration. It's what I need right now to stay sane until everything is back in order again. Enjoy. Oh, and happy hump day (weekend come fast!).

Today: Inspirational Monday.

Happy Monday my darlings,

I hope you all have a great start to your week! I know Thanksgiving is coming up already next week so I'm hoping to do a special post for that but before then, I have scheduled 2 exams, 2 papers, and 2 maybe 3 mental breakdowns before I leave for vacation this Thursday so I'm hoping for some sanity throughout these next couple days! Meanwhile, I've been updating my tumblr like crazy, in avoidance of actually studying (I know, procrastination at it's finest) but that's luck for you right? Also, it's probably not the smartest week to do so, but I've been thinking about starting my own Pinterest. All my friends rave about it and I visited it the other day and got some great ideas from it so I'm hoping to get that going in the next couple of days. What do you all think of Pinterest? Would you follow if I made one?

Well, I've been up for almost 21 hours now and my exam is in 3 hours so I need to go get another pot of coffee going. Oh college life....

Optimism.

Taking a quick break from writing a paper for musical theater on West Side Story. Fascinating, I know. I was about to throw my computer at the wall when I decided to take a quick look over at Tumblr and found this cute doodle by one of my favorite illustrators, Marc Johns. This is the epitome of optimism.

I would call myself an optimistic person in general but sometimes, life really hits you hard and everything seems to go wrong for what feels like forever and then the little things tend to creep in that just make you sigh and thank God you're still breathing. This picture was my sigh of relief today and really put a smile on my face during the 10 minutes I took to recompose myself. So, from personal experience, take a step back darlings. Enjoy your surroundings and just take a deep breath. It really does do wonders to clear your head and put things back into place. I usually tend to realize that I freak myself out more than I should and pretty much everything is doable, so I shouldn't stress myself out so much. 

Now, I hate to leave you all with such a short post but, this paper isn't going to write itself unfortunately. Back to work!
