Life, lemons and fortune cookies

"Sometimes life doesn't give you lemons and thus you can't make lemonade,
 but don't be STUPID! If you want some lemonade don't wait for the hand out, go out there and get what you need to make that amazing lemonade"
-Jenn

This is a true quote from the heart, friends. And I spent a lot of time revising it.
Today is a day, like any other day. Thats what I tell myself when times are hard.
BUT....
Today just doesn't feel like a day. Its been a day-mare which is clearly equivalent to a nightmare but only in the day.
Ya ever had one?
Good, stay away from them, they are highly toxic to the soul and to productivity levels.

Positive pshychology tells me I can choose to be upset or be happy, and I want to thank them for at least letting me CHOOSE. Hence I choose to be upset. What of it?

Fine, heres the positive about the situation. Although this is a really crappy situation and I feel violated and extremely uneasy and I cried so hard last night I became dehydrated and I still have the post puffy eyes even after a nights rest, I can't ignore all the great people who have reached out to me at this time. My Daddy-o, Kirby, Megs, Hadley, Eric, Erika, Erin, Tyler, Molly. The whole caboodle really. And if you haven't, im not mad because I probably haven't had the chance to inform you about the situation. But really its hard to cry when everyone just wants to help. And for that I am forever thankful for all the grand and great that surrounds my life.

Also it became clear to me that every thing is going to be ok, because this happened to me today


I walked up to my spot to study. MY spot. I claim this thing every day all day by leaving my stuff at it. Anywho there was a fortune cookie on the desk this morning?!?! Of course it was for me. 
And what did it say???



This! 
Clearly the higher powers of life have my back. 
Thanks life, for letting me freak out a bit, but letting me know its going to be ok

Shout outs for days!

Shout out to my fam bam!

First Landon, happy birthday boiii. 17?! I remember when I turned 17, it was a big deal. It feels like you are getting close to me in age but thats not possible silly!! 

 It seems like only yesterday your snaggle tooth was raging! 
No worries though, ugly childhood stages are great for personality growth,
hence look at you now!


AND.. 
Look how strong you have gotten! Brooke has no chance now! She just has to take the abuse now!
But don't too big headed about it!
Because obviously you cant take down everyone... yet (aka me). 
But work on it, next time I come home Ill give you a fair shot. 




Speaking of which Ill be coming home beginning of May lets go do some of this shi-nan-na-gans!





NEXT shout out to my Little Sissy wissy tissy. 
The woman is going on a mish to Argentina and leaves very soon!
SO proud of you poo and I know it will be an all around growing experience for you.


ANDDD
lastly shout out to me! 
So proud of myself for graduating la universidad!
So much hard work and hours drooling over schooling. 
But I made it... 
Well almost, lets hope nothing happens in the next few week that would result in me not graduating! 
I have owned this spot at the library for many years now and for sure there are some attachment issues that Im going to have to work on after I graduate. 
Don't worry desk Ill come visit you every so often. 

This is the face of a college student. puffy eyes, fish mouth, and emotionless, and a constant battle to keep my peeper eyes open. 
Will I miss it? 
I mean maybe. 
I always thought the puffy eyes could someday be mistaken for a great botox job. 
And lastly, the hat has made it through all my college days too!
He was so well behaved.
Proud of you hatty on my head!
