brisk mornings

while i am always an early riser, i'm rarely out and about early unless i need to be. mornings are coffee, news, house&paperwork times. with an 8am lecture i am at at the bus.stop at 723am every morning standing in the coastal fog.

with that i have become very fond of scarves and blazers a`la men at paris fashion week.

tulle much fun

if less is more, just think how much more MORE would be!

fun night:

relaxing day:

morning:

g. daddy and i are very similar. we have to have our coffee and paper in the morning. it is a ritual. there is something peaceful and calming about waking up before anyone else and sitting in silence while you catch up on the world around you as the caffeine electrifies your neurons.

something to think about.. people do it all over the world. the difference between americans and europeans has become ever so evident to me lately. from how they take their espresso to the types of new journals they read. i like constants a lot. in fact i love them. but sometimes seeing the same thing from a different angle is cool too.

makin cuts

something i have learned: if you walk out of a room and are worried the friends you just left are talking about you; those people are not helping you to be the best, feel the best, and do the best.

as i have gotten older i have learned that those friendships you had to maintain because you saw eachother at lunch everyday, or sat next to them in english class, or kept just because you've hung out for years does not mean you have to go out of your way, feel uncomfortable, or worse off compromise your feelings and morals for someone who would not help you change a tire at 3am or be someone you would have your kids call "aunt" or "uncle."

with free time being a rarity more and more, who we spend time with becomes more important. i'm not saying send a notice of termination to someone you once shared so much with, but also don't let these people be anchors around you on your climb to success. being civil, polite, and gracious in public (and even in private) is a must, but that is about it.

just like we used to make cuts to our flip cup teams to ensure a win,

sometimes you need to make cuts to your social teams to ensure a future of health and happiness.

the sun is finally shining

{finally the sun is out and i dont need 3 layers just to be moderately comfortable. with the dreary weather behind us, school already riding my ass, and a new year here with new goals and new drive i'm ready to purge my inbox of all my dreary pictures as well...i kinda miss the cozy-ness days as excuses for couch cuddles, but the energy i have to go out and seize the day more than makes up for it.}

{the holidays are fun and all, but with all the gatherings, and the lack of plans, organizations, routines, etc.. i mildly have a panic attack and am so happy they only last a few weeks. the rush of thanksgiving-new years is a perfect time for fun, family, and friends...but nothing in excess is healthy. after all, gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins.}

{i love these pics, but it isn't my fault they aren;t in color...as much as it kills me, there is really no theme. ocd meltdown.}
