I can't find a wall to pin this to. They're all coming down since I found you.

He broke down everything I put up to keep him out. I never thought it would wind up this way, I never did. And, the fact that I was lucky enough to be given this chance... it's indescribable.

He's everything I never thought I would find.

"That day she was amazed to discover that when he was saying 'as you wish' what he meant was 'I love you'. And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back."

He's my best friend and I know he's going to be there. I feel so lucky and so wonderful.

Beyond all of that, everything's just been really busy. I'm taking 5 AP/IB courses, Tri-M president, the patron manager for the literary magazine, an honor society member, tutoring middle schoolers, taking cello lessons, trying to find time to practice, in the local youth orchestra plus another local orchestra. I'm not complaining, because I love every second of what I do, and I would not trade everything I have this year for anything. I thought I would hate it and at moments I really do, but I think that I know, somewhere deep in my heart that I was meant for this. I'm smart enough. I know that. I can handle it.

"We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right! We may look like sissys, but watch what you say or else we'll put out your lights!"

Everything beyond school is going well. I have an audition on Wednesday for all-county and that should be fine. I'm trying not to get too worked up. I'm trying to decide on a book for my english paper and I've narrowed it down to a few, so that's going to be rather important to focus on this week. Other than that, I seem to have a decent week ahead of me.

"Werewolf!"
"There wolf. There castle."
"Why are you talking like that?"
"I thought you wanted to."
"No."
"Oh, okay. I'm easy!"

Life has moved on around me and it's strange to think that I haven't noticed too much. I've let go of a lot recently and it hasn't bothered me too much. I'm not too sure why. Maybe I've just finally realized that in the long run, things don't mean that much. At least, not these things.

Don't you love the random quotes throughout the journal that really have nothing to do with anything? They're some of my favorite movies. Who knows what they are?

They make me smile.

Hope y'all are doing well!

XO,
her.
