I went back to visit my old home in Stony Brook, NY. Very bittersweet indeed. Here are some of the memories I tried to snatch up.
It's rough feeling like you've left a piece of your heart in so many different locations. It creates a constant sense of anticipation or perhaps a better way to put it is just a lack of peace. I'm in a transitional phase of life. Its awkward and uncomfortable. It's hard being a homebody who doesn't even seem to have a real home. But I accept it as a challenge and adventure. And an adventure it shall continue to be.

This girl and I have been friends since kindergarten. She's the type of friend that you could be apart from for 2 years and when you get back together, it's like nothing changed. Throughout high school, we were definitely partners in crime. We would stay out all night exploring, getting fried wontons and hot bagels, putting fake tattoos all over our bodies, and vandalizing our friends' houses. We also annoyed every person in our grade because we were always...well... obnoxious. Cara walked with me through some of the darkest seasons of my life and always knew how to cheer me up....with food, laughter, awkward home videos, and pranks :] Cara is the funniest and most loyal person I know. She has such an individual style and is never afraid to speak her mind. She teaches me to let go and not care what other people think. We all need someone like that in our lives. Though I wish we lived closer... I know that we will truly never be apart!!
It's 2013! I celebrated by taking a trip back to my home, Long Island NY. My current season of life has carried me to a college in Missouri and a family move to NH, so getting to head back to NY for some real pizza, old friends, and fantastic diners was the perfect way to bring in a new year. Above are just a couple of the moments I caught on instagram! One of my major goals for this new year is to continue to develop my blog. I just started only a couple months ago and have fallen in love with it! It's so fun and I've already learned so much. So with my blog this year my main goals are to ... 1. Simply stick with it! - as a full time student, posting on my blog could easily fall through the cracks since it (unfortunately) has to come second to my school work. 2. Gain followers - I'd like to hope for 300 bloglovin followers! And if I reach that, then I will set a new goal, even higher. I have a bunch of other goals I've set but I think my Simply Lovely goals are the most important to me! I'd love some help reaching my goals!
follow me on bloglovin! & does anyone have any tips or advice for a new blogger that I should carry with me into the new year?? thanks!!
