I finally had a breakthrough moment and got motivated to do as much math review as possible.. I guess sometimes it takes one of those stupid stress spirals (the "omg i'm gonna fail at life everything's bad oh no" things) to get some motivation.

School starts tomorrow. Sigh. I graduate in 2 years. I got 10 months before next summer. I can do this, again. I've done it 2 years now...

"I've been trying to find the way about myself, It ain't easy / I've been looking for a hand to hold the cards I've been dealt / I've been trying to find the way to help myself 'cause I'm bleeding / I've been trying to find me, I've been trying to find me"

Found another good song.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzOGocXy9Gw

I took a martial arts (was supposed to be Krav Maga but it's apparently a mixture of literally everything) class today. It's definitely fun, useful, and TIRING. My GOSH, I'm not in shape. Think I'll continue with this.

Here's my annual icon change. Enjoy it. Muahahahahaha

I got my learner's permit today!! I drove my mom to the bank and around town a bit and apparently I'm pretty decent for only having driven two hours before then. (Those two hours were legal, btw, it was in one of those cars labeled "student driver", you don't need a permit)

Updated my photography thread again! I'm so happy I got to have the opportunity to go to the lake this week. I had SO much fun and I would 100% do it again. I am, however, very much dreading the DMV tomorrow.

Happy 4th! I'm gonna disappear off the face of the earth for the next few days

I never knew I'd be saying this this year but.. I'm doing better than I've ever been. I'm happy, things are going right for once, I'm more myself. I have energy, and I'm enjoying life. So I'd like to say - though it seems impossible, there's an end to the madness. Keep going. <3

How is it not common sense that you must stop for trains? Why does the drivers' manual have to spend 5 pages covering that?

Well, I've had a fun week. I went to a harp camp and made more friends than I've had at one point in time during my entire life. I'm just sad the week's almost over D:

Taking myself back a couple years with this. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed this, but also, the MEMORIES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoawtTeleCA

So I just had a very small tornado hit my house while I was standing outside, other news from Oklahoma at 12

An entire day of very interesting storms. We're okay! Oklahoma BARELY avoided two Moore-level tornadoes today (at least, I don't THINK the one I didn't get all the details on was that big... we did have several concerning ones tho), but we didn't get out of flooding rains.

I have to say, watching Brooklyn Nine Nine is possibly the best decision I've made in a while

I'm not gone, just busy.

Do ya ever just feel like throwing a years' worth of accumulated thoughts on a page and trying to phrase them right? It's way harder than one might think, to convey the things you feel in a way that people will understand. I'll always admire the people who can just DO that.

For anybody who might need it today. One day, you will make it through whatever you're going through - and it'll all be worth it. <3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vDdx1dba6c

No dishwasher, no kitchen floor, no gutters, and a new roof that's shedding asphalt... whoopty-freakin-doo, such fun times
