the world's at your fingertips

day 15

Today my brother became a teenager.

day 14
she thought she was the nighttime
floating out in space
but she discovered she was sunshine
when she saw his face

inspired by this amazing picture my boyfriend took over a year ago:


Today has been pretty awesome for the most part. In order to graduate from high school I have to retake health and P.E. (since I did them in junior high at my previous school and therefore the credits did not transfer when I changed schools), so I sat down and did another health lesson. I think there are only three left! I also typed up all my P.E. hours, which is pretty much anything that resembles physical activity. I have many photoshoots listed as P.E. It's awesome. After I worked on other posts and today's 365 I got a horrific headache, so I had to cease my activities, but literally once I started eating dinner, it went away. Who ever heard of food stopping headaches? Hmm ... So later tonight I shall finally clean my room and finish my creative writing assignment.

Haha, I'm sure you all wanted to read about the monotonous details of my day.



I feel like I have grown exponentially photography-wise since starting this project (and we're only on day 14!). My photography is finally something I can (for the most part) be proud of again, but I know it can be even greater. Given the option, I think I would much rather be behind the camera than in front of it. That way I could create art without having myself get in the way as much. But then again, I'm always afraid of directing models, afraid of coming across as rude for telling them what to do. (Also afraid of having them do absolutely crazy and ridiculous things.) I hope in the near future I'll be able to photograph other people every day so that I can grow even more.

for now we are young

Happy Saturday everyone! As I'm typing this, there is a kitty cat in my lap. It adds an extra challenging element to blogging, but at least my arms are warm and my heart is happy.
Today has actually been a pretty productive day. I made a to-do list for the long weekend and I love crossing things off it.


I might have gotten a little carried away with the doodles, but oh well. And even after I took this picture I was able to cross off more things from my list. Something I have discovered about myself is that I am particularly happy when I'm productive. But I think that's true for many people. It's nice to have lazy days, but no one wants to mope around the house being bored. Making to-do lists, even if they are small, makes the day so much more exciting and bearable.



I was so excited to jump out of bed and get to work, and I got some things done that I've been putting on the backburner for a while. Can't wait for tomorrow to be able to cross more things off my list!

day 13

I intended to take a different photo, but when I remembered my neighbor's tree fell down in a windstorm (I remembered when I couldn't get to her yard because there was a tree in my way), I knew I had to take the opportunity. In the little "cave" I'm sitting in, there were cute little bunny footprints in the snow. How adorable is that? I should have gotten a picture ...



Matt got me this scarf nearly a year ago while he was on a mission trip. It's definitely my favorite scarf. :)

Oh and hey guess what? It's the weekend!
