Today was the first time in a
while that I read all the past entries on my blog since I first made it.
During the first few months after making this blog, I was going through a phase
where I wanted to change the way I viewed life. My original intention was to
express everything I thought was beautiful through my photos and thoughts. At
first I was sad that I had gone off track from that, but then I realized that
it all comes instinctually now. My appreciation for life doesn’t need to be
noted. Now, I just appreciate. My views on traveling, fashion, and nutrition
are all the same which is reassuring that I am, in fact, staying on course for
who I wanted to be. I am pleased to say that I have successfully been living my
life the way I originally wanted to. A lot can happen in nine months, and a lot
has, but at this exact moment in my life, I am happy. Very happy actually! I
have made wonderful friends here in California and with this new beginning, I
have actually truly become the person I’ve always aspired to be.

and simplicity of life. In Colorado, I would drive to the mountains thinking
about who I wanted to be. Now I get to walk on the beach thinking about the
person I have become. California is a beautiful place and I have been able to
experience things here that I never could have if I stayed in Colorado for college.
Music is also still a huge part
of my life. I’ve yet to become the kind of person who always has headphones on
their ears, or who up to date with their music, but I do still love it! Music is
the art of the soul. It is the one thing that everyone can love and understand;
it can bridge cultures and repair friendships. I listen to all different types
of music, but here is a list of some of my favorite songs right now (in no
particular order):
