it's been almost a month since i've last posted... i'm not good with blogging about the day-to-day stuff and my days have been so busy that they seem to run together. it's hard to believe that it's the middle of july. that this year is more than half over. but what a year it has been so far..

i'm really loving living here. i like the simplicity of living without a lot of bills, working on becoming financially free. working at starbucks is fun and rewarding, i really am starting to feel at home.

i'm sitting outside right now, listening to weedeaters, birds, and the road. it's warm, but a breeze is blowing. our a/c is broken, the part comes today to fix it!!! i have about an hour before i want to leave for work. some gentle acoustic music playing..

my birthday is next week. i like being 22, and i don't see 23 being much different. life gets more amazing every year i live it. i'm thankful i get this time here. and don't get me wrong, it's not like i don't have bad days. sometimes i feel like i have more bad days than good ones, but the bad days get easier and the good days far outweigh any of the bad.

good always wins.

even if evil seems to triumph for a while.
even the wise cannot see all ends.

i'm so thankful for alex, too. i couldn't do this without him. he saved me from myself, and life is so much bigger now. more beautiful. the transition from black and white to color, from 2D to 3D.

found this today online. there's a lot of truth in that.

this has been a rambling look into my life, and i'm sorry for any incoherence. i'll try to write again soon.
