Some days just aren’t your days and that’s okay. When everything changes and things go wrong you just smile and carry on because you never know your wonderful day could be right around the corner.
True happiness is seeing your dad after he has been gone for a month! βπ (Taken with Instagram at Meridians Cafe and Pizzeria)
The biggest lesson I’ve learned this year…

I am nothing special. Just a common man with common thoughts, and Iβve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone whoβs ever lived; Iβve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
Today when I was babysitting one of the boys was crying after I put him to bed. I walked into his room sat beside him and asked him what was wrong. I saw these big brown watery eyes look up at me and he said “I’m mad at my dad for finishing all my levels on the zombie game”.
I wanted to tell him that if this was the worst thing in his life he was pretty well off. If he didn’t have to face leaving all his friends, best friend, boyfriend and family to go to college he didn’t have anything to complain about. If he didn’t make sacrifices and missed out on activities for his classmates it would be fine. If he didn’t run himself into the ground by doing a sport that he loved but was hurting him at the same time he would be completely content.
But I just looked at him and told him that I was sure it was an accident and his dad meant to fix it because his dad loved him very much.
Childhood was so much simpler.

This day went from amazing to not so great way to fast. Its funny how days do that sometime. At least I got to swim for a while though, it was a gorgeous day!
Such a long banquet but so worth it seeing everyone get recognized. I finally feel like a senior and even though my season wasn’t what I wanted I could never be more proud of everyone. Especially my distance girls. I’m always going to be a cougar even when I’m running on a different team. (Taken with Instagram at Ventura High School)
I just got kicked out of Issy’s room (a second grader I babysit) because I’m too old and not cool enough to play barbies…being 18 definitely has its down sides sometimes.
10 tickets to graduation.
My mom brother and sister can go and that’s it. I just wish that everyone else I love could be there too.
