Dear April

Judging from the previous month, I had high hopes for you, April. 

Since I am writing this in December, I will highlight the month:

  • Social Media break still in full force.
  • Productive at work- able to focus and accomplish what I need to
  • Spring has sprung- tulips, nicer weather and rainbows
  • Binge watched Greek
  • Beautiful views on the river
  • So many books read and so many book hangovers
Clearly, going back through my planner, April was a good month. I think the social media break was a very wise choice for me at this moment in time. I was on Tumblr, but I somehow do not consider that really social media; its more of a diary of things that I love. I haven't been super active on there in the past few years and they didn't really change to much over the years and as I went back through my archive, I realized that this was a true sense of blogging or what did they call it, microblogging (?) and there was no rhyme or reason to what I was posting, it was literally anything that was making me happy. A LOT of what I posted 5, 7, or even 12 years ago, I still loved now. I guess my interests really haven't changed all that much over the years, which says a lot about my true self. 

Towards the end of the month, I was feeling comfortable in my skin, with my life and I was happy with my life. Covid is still happening and while that was still a concern, I had been single for over year and I wanted to try dating again. I sat with this idea for a week, listing the pros and cons, and seeing if this is really what I wanted to do. I had some tough times after I broke off my engagement with dating and while the pandemic came at the perfect time for a break from dating, I think I am ready to try again. 

Thanks for being the literal bright spot in my year so far April. I am going all in next month and I hope you can keep up May.

Miss you: Clothes Edition

Hi friends, 

So this post is a visual love letter to outfits/clothes I don't have any more. I wish I had more forethought to save these things because I would wear 99.9% of these now. I guess hindsight is 20/20 and I did love these outfits when I had them. 

Do you regret getting rid of a certain piece of clothing years later?



















I regret not buying this 









I also regret not buying this dress




















































If only our closets could be infinite.
