$up,
The past couple of weeks the weather in London has really taken a dive and it is only going to get worse... (insert worried emoji). It makes me look forward to going back home for winter break, and I was already really looking forward to it. It's actually really strange how much I am looking forward to winter break. I don't really remember feeling that way the last time I went away, but then again I guess I wasn't really that far to begin with.

I am so excited to see my family, I miss them dearly. I wish that I could come back for thanksgiving because it's my favorite holiday, but of course they don't celebrate that in England. A lot of English people don't even know what it is (or at least some of the ones that I have talked to). I don't blame them though, there are English holiday's that I have never herd of. One just passed actually. It was yesterday, it was a day to remember the day that Guy Fawkes almost blew up parliament. So there are fireworks and apparently the have a bonfire to burn a fake Guy Fawkes. It's pretty interesting, but I had to much work to really participate in it.

That was a really random tangent.. Back to what I was saying..

My family. I cannot wait to see my mom and my brother and my dad. I can't wait to get special mom hugs. That's something that is really lacking in my life right now, the hug. I think it's something that a lot of us don't really do very much anymore and it's something that is really taken for granted. We should never underestimate the power of a hug. It can easily make everyone feel so much better. Ahh I can't wait to feel the love of my family. I think that's the thing I am looking forward to the most. Not Christmas, not seeing my friends, not the weather but just that love.

Sunday Lust List

1. This is like the most perfect thing I have ever seen. I think it would save me so much money. Basically it is a film scanner that scans the pictures directly to your phone. I think I am going to ask for this for christmas.

2. These shoes, are beautiful.

3. This dress is a 90s vintage club kid dress, naturally, gotta have it.

4. These shoes are really expensive, but they are really beautiful.

5. Wicked cool am I right?

6. I am in need of a good rain coat, I think this one will do <3

7. I think this choker is so cute, but I don't know if it will make me look to goth. I am trying to not buy any more black, because goth is not my thing.

8. Simply Psychedelic
9. I thought this would look so cute with some stuff I have. I am a sucker for beanies.

10. Lastly, this Beavis and Butthead hat. I need more of Beavis and Butthead in my life.

$up,
I've been thinking a lot the past couple of days about love and relationships. I think movies and tv shows make us think that we need to have really dramatic relationships in order for them to be exciting. When you think of the pattern of every "chick flick" or "romantic movie" two people fall in love and they are usually opposites and they have this great relationship when its first starting out and then there is a problem and then they break up and then its a toss up at the end, they either get back together and accept that they are different, or they stay broken up (The more optimistic and happy endings are more popular.). I think this makes everyone think that when the going gets tough, you can just quit. The reality is that relationships can be really hard sometimes, but just because it is hard doesn't mean that it is worth throwing away. Back in the 1950s divorce was rare and kind of frowned upon, and I think that a lot of those people had issues with their spouses but they worked it through because they took vows to each other. On the other hand though, some times things don't work out and people are just wrong for each other. My parents divorced when I was 6 and I really think it was the best thing for both of them because I just wanted them to be happy. Along the lines of divorce, I was also thinking about my friends who's parents are divorced and they kinds of romantic relationships that they get involved with. To be quite honest, I think my friends who's parents are married get into romantic relationships that are really just not good. They get with people that treat them horribly and they just take it. My friends that have parents that are divorced get into relationships that they feel comfortable saying when they are not okay with something. They are not afraid to speak their mind, and that is something that I really respect. No one can read your mind, so if your upset about something, or your needs aren't getting met, you need to speak up. I know this may kind of sound all over the place, but I am just writing they way I think. I think I lost track of what I was saying. Oh, it seems that there always needs to be some kind of drama in relationships, like oh He's looking at other women, or He's emotionally unavailable or something of that nature. Why do we compare our lives and our relationships to the ones we see on tv or in movies? It is okay to have a drama free relationship with someone. Drama does not make something more exciting, love does. Love is the most exciting thing there is.
