Slow Mornings

 Morning!

I think one of my favorite things about day to day life are the slow mornings. I stay up until ungodly hours of the night (and morning), and wake up at whatever time I wish. Somehow, despite sleeping at 3-4am nightly, I manage to wake up around 7-8am. I'm totally sleep deprived, but I don't mind at all. It's what makes these mornings so comfy; the burn behind your tired eyes, the feeling of the body waking up-- it's a feeling that I enjoy most on days off.

On this particular slow morning, I had iced coffee that I made the night previous. The overnight chill it developed was pretty good. I made six pancakes instead of the classic three, because why not? It's my morning, and I can take it how I want. Buttered those up and washed it down. Absolutely satisfying breakfast.

One of the best parts of slow mornings is definitely returning to bed. The body just relaxes and eases into itself. I think that I'll for sure enjoy my bedrotting this morning. Don't I deserve it? Well, I guess y'all wouldn't know, would you? That's the fun thing about blogs, getting to know a person through their posts.

I'm sure that y'all have realized by now that this blog won't be anything special or specific in particular. It's just a fun thing I wanted to do on the side of pursuing a higher education. I want to document my life, especially the little moments, so I have something to look back on. I think this is a good coping mechanism; my therapist will be proud of me. If it's morning when you are reading this, enjoy it. The beginning of a new day is truly something to behold.

The Chances of Tomorrow

 Hi! I honestly don't even know how to start this post. A blog is something that I never imagined myself committing to, but I see this blog not as a chore to continuously complete but an escape from the strife of the world. As an upcoming college freshman, I am about to open the doors to millions of new possibilities. I am itching to try them all. And as a chronic procrastinator, I love the concept of tomorrow. There's always another day in our seemingly endless vial of time to try something new. If it can't be achieved today, there will always be a tomorrow. I'm actually surprising myself as I write this, I'm not usually such an optimistic person. But I want to expand my person in ways that I haven't before, and this is my starting point. For anyone who reads this blog and follows along, thank you for being apart of the journey. xox Shania

Blacker Days

What's up!  It's been a few days since I last updated my blog. It can get a bit difficult to keep up with things like this in your day to day life, but I'm going to keep trying my best! Speaking of trying, sometimes it gets really dark on some days, and I struggle to keep my head up. Do you guys ever have those kind of days? Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one; when I speak with friends and family, they don't seem to grasp how hard it is to maintain an unhappy brain. But what do you expect with depression? I want to feel the light of life, but on blacker days, I feel lost.   I really wanted to keep this blog as optimistic and uplifting as possible, but I have to be honest. It is so draining to keep all the thoughts to myself. Sometimes the biggest smiles are the saddest ones.   But enough talk of my mental decline. I'm going to continue to romanticsize, to daydream, to hope, and to wait. I deserve the life that I have saved on my Pinterest boards. Doesn...
