Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Laughter that floats in the empty house making my heart giddy with excitement. Inside jokes bonding us close, making us forget the whole world exists. Late night talks- laying everything imaginable on the table. The splash of the pool on our painted toes. Sisterly smiles which are extremely mischievous. Tiny unimportant moments quickly becoming lasting memories.
This is a summer of love.

A Quick Thought I Needed to Scribble Down

Procrastination is my enemy. I hate it. Seriously. I wish it wasn't even an option. The horrible decision toys deceptively with you, making you believe you really WILL get that job done later. But the newsflash is.... ITS SO MUCH HARDER! Putting important things off makes me feel like I am merely existing versus living. It makes me feel like sludge. Because the whole time you are not accomplishing the needed task, a lump sits on your stomach like a tumor. And a bad taste lingers in your throat like strep throat.

The opposite of that is the whole work-ahead-mentality which make you feel like you have Kicked-butt! Such a better option! I have learned that you really have to train dedication. It doesn't last if your parents are making you do it, or your teachers, or your friends. Staying on task comes from self-determination. I have learned about myself that I love the results of powering-through. The sense of accomplishment is so much better than the procrastination route.

Porch Swing Required

Growing up teaches you a lot.
People in the end matter more.
One must learn how to cope.
No pain, no gain.
Experience is the greatest teacher.
A perfect moment can never be re-created or exactly duplicated.

Today was the longest day (light) of the entire 365 days.
A very poetic day.
I wonder why more songs haven't been written about it?
I wish everyday contained as much daylight as today did, it makes the 24 hours seem longer (in a good way).
My gift from June 21st was the first real feeling of summer since my trig final on June 3.
I can't recall the exact moment, but at some point today summer felt real.

Expiration Date

Today, I was in the grocery store picking up some Velvetta Cheese for my mom.
Cool right?
I noticed the expiration date for the cheese was August 30, and i thought to myself... Wow.. I will be a senior in high school then!
Instantly the wheels in my head seriously started rolling!
Time just goes so fast!
This summer will probably be the quickest summer of my life.
I work. I sleep. I get sick. I go to Asia. I love.
Pretty jam-packed if you ask me.
Therefore, with the little moments I have that aren't penciled in I need to have a plan.
As my beautiful teacher once told me, "You have to find a time in the day to let yourself be creative."
Hence blogging.
This will be my summer escape from the madness.
I will chase rapture.
Prove I'm an everyday lunatic.
And attempt to piece words together to write about the every-changing roads I'm winding.
