Welcome, welcome.

You have found your self here: on Ellie's semi-kept-up blog.

Lots of tidbits and nothingness reside here. Don't feel obligated to read anything.

If you're interested, here's a random blog I wrote (+photos) while traveling in New Zealand in 2012: newsieland.wordpress.com

With love,

We're Living It

I've completed my last day of school. Turned everything in. Got checked off. Can't believe it. It feels like I'll just have to go back after a nice two day weekend. Funny.

What a year this has been. I've learned so much about myself. I didn't realize that until just now. I'll say, the beginning of this year was absolute hell for me. I hated it. Everything about it. School. My lack of a relationship with God. The time I no longer had. Wasted words on people who wouldn't listen. But it got better. As time went on, I started to see people in a different light. I opened up. I committed to friendships. I learned to enjoy my life at school.

Knowing what I know now, I've come to understand that life isn't bearable, or worth living, for that matter, if you don't have friends around you. Sharing it with you. All of it. The ups. The downs. The sideways and upside down. Someone to keep you on board. To make sure you don't fall off the side.

There were a few things that took me all year to figure out... To be a good person you don't have to be a people pleaser. To be liked, you don't have to be in the spotlight. To love others, you must take into account that they are human, and therefore, not perfect.

This summer will be good.
