I'll Be Over Here..Alone With My Headphones On

I have so much work I need to complete..
BUT...Taylor Swift's new song 'Out Of The Woods' just came out! I've had it on replay since finding out it was released early, and NOT at midnight like she said!
I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED AND LOVING THIS SONG CAUSE AS I TYPE THIS BLOG POST IT'S STILL PLAYING :)
Listen to the full version here (instead of replaying the iTunes preview like me).
ENJOY AND WITH THE REST OF THE TAYLOR SWIFT FANDOM CRY TEARS OF JOY AND NOW WE ARE ONE STEP CLOSER TO HEARING HER NEW BEAUTIFUL ALBUM
And later today, when I have quizzes or tests, I'll just remember that I was listening to this awesome song and not studying and hope for the best! :)

ONE YEAR (on Tumblr!)

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of my Tumblr.

I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful 12 months and be able to now say I am friends with people from around the world!

How cool is that?!

There is nothing more awesome than saying your best friend lives in the UK!

From Florida to Arizona to England to Switzerland, I have been able to talk to beautiful people both near and far.

Communication is honestly so cool!

The way social media plays such a big part in our daily lives is radical to me! I love how it can be used to have such a positive impact on people!

During the past year, so much has happened. These experiences have changed me. My senior year of high school has come and gone, I’ve graduated high school, I lost a very important family member and I’m off to college in a couple of weeks. I’ve loved being able to express what I’ve been feeling and know that I’m not alone. Others are going through similar situations and it’s so wonderful to know I have a community of people who love, encourage, and support me. Also, through my Tumblr, I’ve been able to share daily activities as well as a mixture of inspirational quotes, style, and food that I love as well as media that I adore or quote often, childhood memories, posts I find useful or interesting, and thank goodness other people have as quirky a sense of humor as I do :) I am so grateful that this past year has only had a handful of negativity + doubly thankful that I am (hopefully) able to help promote positive thinking. 365 days is a long time. And honestly, life is difficult. But positive thinking is truly the best thing ever. And there just isn’t enough of it. There needs to be more. Definitely. Hopefully, with my blog I can help others learn that true beauty lies within themselves/their heart and I want to encourage others to live a life full of happiness and to love who they are, appreciate the world around them and become excited about the little things.

SMILE more // SHINE and be your wonderful self // INSPIRE people to fill each day with love and good thoughts.

Here’s to another year full of love, joy, and sunshine!

I can’t wait to meet (if only virtually) more people, enjoy dessert first! cause life’s short, and partake of gorgeous sunsets at least 52 times (at least once a week!).

YEAR TWO—LET’S GO! :)

P.S. Having a Tumblr has truly meant the world to me and I would like to thank each and every person who has stopped by my blog. If you ever need someone to talk to or message if you’re bored, I’m your girl! I’d love to chat :)

(You can also send me an e-mail if that's easier for you! :) Use whatever form of communication you wish to!)
