Catharsis

Things I have learned--

I suck at communicating. I can practice what I'm going to say a million times in the mirror, but when it counts, I sound awful and illogical. Or worse--silent.

When I'm mad, I just need to get mad. I try to suppress the way I feel, but then it just gets all bottled up and pressured and then I explode. And the problem only gets worse.

Things just don't get fixed on their own. People don't get hints. People don't think alike. It's not a gender thing. It's just a truth of life. I know this is incredibly obvious, but I struggle with that concept. I assume people think the same way as I do and want the same things I do. I need to learn to either accept how people choose to express themselves or develop confidence in myself so I can tell people how I feel in a way that they'll understand.

People don't know how I feel because they don't ask. Which is totally fine. I shouldn't expect people to ask me what I want. I certainly never ask others those questions.

And that's something I need to change, because I can't change other people; I can only change myself.

I want to be more aware of other people's feelings so I can be that girl who is worth overcoming apathy for.

That's for me. Sorry, everyone.

And that was that.

Owl-wise, I think I'm doing pretty well.

Other-wise, I'm just the usual Megan, cranky, ornery, eating too much sugar and avoiding the Oxford comma.

I want school to just freakin' end. I've never hated school this bad. I want spring break and I want it now! I can't do anything about it except grit my teeth and endure four more days.

This is also hard and fast evidence that I am just as selfish as I seem. I'm whining about my own life, but I'm lucky I even have one. People are dying in Japan and the Pacific, and I'm a white college kid with a great job.

Anyway, enough of that.

All signs point to spring

Notice the mud on my shoes. This means that the snow is melting and making mud. And I'm kind of reveling in it, because mud is totally a spring and summer thing.

I'm trying out maiden braids from this tutorial {here}. Ya, I know it totally doesn't look as good, but I still feel like a "Sound of Music" character, which is pretty much the most romantic movie ever.

And I'm also trying to actually wear make up for once. {This} has inspired me. But there really is a reason that I've worn foundation for three days in a row (and counting). It helps protect my face against the sun! YAY! That means a sun exists! I still have no melanin, so I'm the whitest of the white, but I like my skin. I wouldn't change my fairness for anything.

Thank you!

I just realized that I need to give a big thank you to everyone who voted for me in last month's cutest kid contest! {here}

Needless to say, I won. Sorry that this is a little late.

And thanks to everyone who reads and follows this blog. It means a lot to me. If you love what you see, spread the word.

Loves to all!

We've got a lot of snow, and all the cold and wet makes me ready for spring. Come faster, I'm cold!

Ivy

I've had a little guest in my bathroom for quite some time now.

I don't mind it at all. It's like an indoor plant! But the repairman came and removed the ivy. I'm sad, but if we didn't do something I suppose it would have taken over the whole place.

Showered

Bridal shower = wonderful food, wonderful cupcakes and cake. Brittni arranged the desserts and they were mighty scrumptious. And pink.

Playing plant the kiss on the hunk.

Just a few naughty gifts.

Games (This one's kind of dirty. See if you can guess what it is... hahaha)

Wrapping paper dresses.

All-in-all, a bit crazy. But I'm alive. Now it's back to work!
