Day 6. January 6, 2009. This is a new picture mixed with an old one. Then and now. I’m just really missing Italy today. I miss traveling and really feeling like I was really living life the way it should be lived. I know I’ll go back. I jotted this down earlier today:
Why would I ever feel like I can’t do what I want to do? I want to travel the world and meet new people and study lives and eat different food and climb mountains and lay in foreign fields and sleep under a different sky and experience life in a different way and take pictures and write about it all. A lot of people don’t need that. But I do.
I do.

Day 5. January 5, 2010. Nothing of large importance happened today, or nothing that I can talk about anyway, so this picture is just a fun one. MY CAT’S FACE. That’s all.

Day 4. January 4, 2010. Yeah, so this isn’t the best picture of me. What of it?! Today was my very first day of school this year. I simply can’t believe that I’m already starting the second semester of my Junior year. Where has the time gone? I’m incredibly excited, but a bit sad at the same time. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t going to miss high school. A man named Bob played volleyball at our school today. He’s famous, because he travels around America playing volleyball and telling us kids to stay away from alcohol. The neat thing, he’s a one man team. He, by himself, completely mowed down our school’s girl volleyball team. Our team is really, really good, keep in mind. He even at one point had every single junior and senior boy, all at once, playing him on the other side of the net. He still won. It was really neat, and it just goes to show you really can do anything you set your mind to. Enough with the cheesy. I came home and found this baby laying on my bed. Sabrina Ward Harrison’s second artistic Journal, Brave On The Rocks: If You Don’t Go, You Don’t See. I shrieked with excitement. My brother is coming over for dinner tonight. I’m glad, because I’ve missed him. Can I just add how wonderfully my life seems to be going lately? I’m changing, growing, becoming. I can’t help but smile.

Day 3. January 3, 2010. Today, I was standing in my room listening to Roslyn by Bon Iver and St. Vincent. I hovered above this candle and felt the warmth against my face. I took in a heavy breath through my nose to smell the beautiful scent. I watched the flames dance. As I let that same breath out through my mouth, the flames flickered, and almost died out. I watched again, as my warm breath lightly blew on them. Once again, they flickered; but after a second, burned just as bright. I let them be for a long while. I thoughtlessly began to blow on them once more, harder this time. I was going to extinguish the flame. Then, I stopped myself. I felt one with these flames, for a moment. As if they were somewhat symbolic of my life so far. Twice, it’s almost ended. Twice, I’ve flickered and almost burned out. I walked away from the candle and watched it from my bed. I’m going to let it burn and burn and burn until it goes out on it’s own. No winds will stop me now.

Day 2. January 2, 2010. I’m surprised I haven’t forgotten about this whole thing yet, haha. I, once again, haven’t done much of anything today. I didn’t want to feel like I completely wasted the day, so I went into the kitchen and made somewhat of a real meal. Productivity! I really want to watch Xena, but this obsession is becoming a bit dangerous. So, I’ll watch 500 Days of Summer, instead.

Day 1. January 1, 2010. What a way to start the year! Laying in bed and watching Xena all day. I’ve got a good feeling about 2010, I’m telling you.
