I know I've said it a thousand times..

...but really, I just need to say something. I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I don't how how to say it, but I'm just going to talk. And if anything I say doesn't make sense, I'm sorry. I've written so many 'thought-provoking' and 'be yourself' posts, and I really, sincerely hope this one will be different.

Those 'be yourself' posts I wrote were shallow. And guys, it's hard to be you in this world, where most people are copies. So I will get tripped up sometimes. But I'm going to try. I want you, you who are reading this right now, to know that I don't wear vintage clothing, I get mad at my brother, my room is not clean right now, lowercase letters bug me, I'm on the computer too much, I procrastinate, I don't listen to popular music, I detest bad grammar, I haven't read the Hunger Games (can't believe I'm saying that...) and I don't have an instagram, facebook, twitter, pinterest, or tumblr. Our house isn't magazine-worthy right now, we don't have beautiful art on the walls, I have a wall in my room dedicated to odds and ends, I'm always changing up my blog design and room, and my room's carpet is stained. And now, I'll shock you... I don't watch Downton Abbey (but my mom loves it). And I'm not the person you probably think I am. I'm sorry for being fake. Please know that from now on, I'll genuinely try.



And you know what? I honestly never loved some a lot of the blogging trends. I think that if I hadn't started blogging, and hadn't been exposed to all these trends, then someone could have asked me “Hey, do you like (some trend, fill in the blank)?” And I would have been like “Eh...not really.” So please. If you don't like lowercase letters, vintage, whatever. Then please, please don't pretend you do. There's nothing wrong with discovering new trends and finding you love them, but ask yourself if you really do love them. It sounds super cliché, but guys, this is one “cliché” that I believe is very true. I'm sorry if I sound really harsh, and believe me, I've been wanting to write this for a long time, but was afraid it would sound mean. If it does, I apologize. Truly.

Now - I won't be posting like I used to (like, when I posted normally). I might post 3-4 times a week, or maybe I won't post for a month. I'll write only when I feel like it, not just to post. I've been doing that way too much lately, and it's very stressful. So yeah, don't be offended if I don't post for a few weeks here and there. ;)

 Thanks for reading, people. I'll see you soon. :)

{PS} Is the text on my blog too light and hard to read? I'm beginning to think it...

Just old pictures and a few rambles.

 

just some forgotten, old pictures

blank canvas. You might have noticed I changed my tagline to "my blank canvas." For some reason, I've always loved blank canvases. They can be made into any type of art you can imagine ... kind of like my blog. It's my spot where I come to share words and pictures and what I love, so I thought 'my blank canvas' fit pretty well. ;)

 

rain. I don't think anybody understands me on this, but rainy days are my absolute favorite. The (old) pictures above with rain made me so happy. It's not that I dislike sunshine, but rain and cold is usually my preference. What about you?

sunny.

 

yet another old picture...

I love him so much. :)

SMASH. I'm not sure if some of you guys have ever heard of SMASH scrapbooks, but basically they're little scrapbooks that you can put pictures, ticket stubs, pretty stuff, and basically anything else that you can put in a scrapbook. (Can you tell I'm not very good at explaining things?) They have a bunch of different themes, and loads of accessories. I bought the pink one a while ago, and I don't regret it at all. It's so beautiful, and I might have trouble filling in some of the pages because they're just too pretty. ;)

 

some of the inside of the pink one {not my image}

friday. I love Fridays. Having a full week ahead is such an amazing feeling.

I'll leave you with this.
