feel like a box of lucky charms.

lately there's been mini-downers: like raining in nebrasky, asian food withdrawals, & being new at this whole international relief & rescue major thing. honestly in some of my irr classes i feel like such a newbie.
me: independent music lovah, fashion addict, & pop culture enthusiast.
common irr major: northface jackets [must have], organic tea drinking, & hiker happy feet.

don't get me wrong i love my irr major & i think the differences are gonna push me to try and work harder. it's just sometimes i feel a bit out of the loop of things. i didn't grow up going hiking or knowing a lick of construction. and i'm okay with that. but today in infrastructure class when i couldn't freakin work a hand saw...yea that part sucked. to put how i feel into perspective it would be like a northface hiker being put in the middle of fashion week at bryant park. boo yah. take that.

so when i'm feeling down i:
a.) get food
b.) call someone i love

& usually one of those works. today both did.
made a spankin good burrito & talked to richard.

convo went something like this:

me: richie i feel so stupid. i couldn't even work a hand saw.
richard: your not stupid.
me: i'm not like them. i wear flippy floppies and read us weekly. they know
how to build things, and hike. they have such an upper hand.
richard: so who cares! i bet they don't know fashion or music stuff like you do.
by the end of the semester you'll know what they know AND fashion and music!
then who has the upper hand?

and this is why i feel so darn blessed. to have someone keep it real for me, put things
into perspective, and makes me laugh so hard making me feel glad to be alive. to have someone know my shortcomings and love me anyway for nothing but myself is a freakin fantastic feeling. these are the kinda moments that add up and turn life into something meaningful. into something bigger than myself but about someone else too ♥

p.s. truth that keeps me going: God is good. always was, is now, and will always be.
