Soap Addiction -__-

Cue mom's voice in my head: "But you don't need soap! You can't even use most soaps!"
...But they're so preeetty. Observe these specimens from BubblesUpByBethieB:

Strawberry Chiffon


Just Peachy


Apple Crumble


Cherry Red


Vanilla Freeze

Mind. Blown.

Stressin' like a Dessen (heroine)...

...that did kind of make sense.

Everyone older than me must think that I'm worrying about such trivial things. I know I will think that in a few years. I mean, how much of this will matter in ten years?

But I can't let it go because I don't have that kind of perspective yet. There are lessons that people have to learn by experience. I just have to make sure I enjoy life in between stressfests, because they'll happen no matter how trivial they may seem later.

Happiness is...

These past few months, I've been complaining way too much. What with all the summer job worrying, the lack of momentum, and the social awkwardness (nothing new here), I've hardly taken the time to appreciate everything around me. Here are a few things I've enjoyed today:

--Today was the best biking weather I've seen in a very long time. Sunny, with a light breeze. 75 degrees. It was so perfect I actually biked around for 20 minutes just enjoying the weather. Although this may be because I was hyped off sweet potato fries.

--I broke out my pink flower sandals for the first time this year. Happy happy fun fun :)

--The tumblrs I follow are amazing. It sounds cheesy to say that they're inspirational, but they really are.

I mean, there's still a lot of ungrateful angst in the background, but I'll just not focus on that now.

Books Books Books

I don't know why it never occurred to me, but there is a real live bookstore just two minutes away from my residence. My 10-to-18-year-old self would be insanely jealous of me right now. I don't know why I don't camp out there more often.

Rebecca Black - Friday

Friday is not nearly as fun on this side of the prolonged nap known as the "nightly sleep." That's the only reason I could come up with to explain why I am posting this song. (Plus, I may be starting to like it? Mere exposure effect gone horribly wrong!)
