Lavender Cupcakes
I am officially on summer holiday, which means each day has unlimited potential. Today was dedicated to making Lavender Cupcakes- topped with honey butter icing:
I actually picked the lavender fresh from our backyard. It made the whole kitchen smell so delicious.
I love the beauty created while cooking & baking. It mesmerizes me. How batter spun in a KitchenAid mixer can contain...

self discovery: I actually really love a room full of strangers. strangers that I then get to know
I like the what-everyone-else-finds-awkward get-to-know you’s. the initial conversations, the first impressions. I find it all rather exciting. I like the opportunity to go in somewhere completely unknown, I don’t mind doing it alone. it makes me feel most fresh, independent.

34 little notes found in a box tucked under my bed. Saved from the first boy that ever loved me. They were always waiting under the desk for me, each day I went to Spanish class. I was 15 years-old. Already confident. Already independent.

I’ll miss your guillotine...

Thank God It’s Thursday
Last final in a little over an hour.
Which means I practically made it. Even though I went into this year signed up for 7 classes. 6 of them being major courses. What kind of psycho? Seriously. It makes for a long list.

That moment you can finally laugh and say HOPE IS BACK after a two-week funk.
It’s a little giggle in your throat. A skip in your step. A soaring mind. A light heart. Hope is back, and the past two weeks of blah are what make me cherish her even more.
I love. being. happy. I love. being. free. I love. being. me (again)
