Feeling emotional today 

Took forever today to get all dressed up with my NEW BRAND I've always wanted these Jeffery Campbell spiked litas and I got them for like 35 BUCKS on Ebay  I paired them with this Lip Service asymmetrical pencil skirt and my backless brown crop sweater from I think Target???

I'm wearing my rose bracelet and owl necklace from my fav thrift store; early 2010's staples I've always wanted to have. I'm all dolled up with pretty hair like my mom's, gal make, and retro clothes...and I just finally feel like I am the woman I always imagined I'd be as a little girl 

All of this happening while I'm driving to the café downtown in the town I grew up in--the café being where this ice cream shop/diner I loved as a kid us
ed to be--and all my favorite pop music from childhood starts playing  Tongue Tied, Everybody Talks, Midnight City ...meanwhile the most beautiful winter sunset lights up the logging hills of my hometown, yet keeps the streets dark enough for the Christmas lights on every streetlamp and old buildings to shine...When I tell you I almost cried...

Then I step out of my car and get SNORTED AT by these two girls. LMAO. I loved it.

Sitting in the cafe right now, thinking of the how many birthdays I had here when this place used to be that old diner. My birthday is tomorrow, and I'm turning 22. Where do the freaking years go?? Not that I want to go back; childhood was beautiful and also horrible. I had little responsibility, little awareness of the world, and my Dad...but I also was navigating a difficult girlhood with one of the most miserable mental illnesses I would never wish upon my worst enemy, OCD 

Thankful and proud of myself tonight 

Forgot to take pics of my outfit bc im silly  heres my make and hair and a pic of the beautiful sky
