introduction: isabelle

Hello unseen audience, it's only March 5 but I already have two blog posts. This may be a new record for me.

This is Isabelle! She's one of my good friends here at UCLA. When we first met, I never would have guessed that we would become close friends. She has a very different personality than myself.. She's energetic, loud, excited, spontaneous, a bit crazy, and many other wonderful things. Around this time last year, we started regularly meeting once a week to catch up and keep each other accountable in our walk with Jesus. It has been a year of different challenges and struggles in our lives and I'm glad to have grown with her and shared my life with her with her <3 I really appreciate her simple joy in life and honest heart. I was surprised how vulnerably and openly she shared with me in her struggles, especially early on in our friendship. It has encouraged myself to be more open and share what's going on in my life, even when I think that it might be discouraging for the other person. And out of all the people I know, Isabelle may be one of the most excited to see me. I really appreciate that, especially when I'm feeling down. yay.  Accountability partners.

bye bye until next time ^ Hiiiii Isabelle. <3

notebooks

I have this problem with notebooks
well, not really a problem with them
I just have too many.. It's a little bit ridiculous
I have a notebook
for writing down my thoughts
      for school planning
      for my random notes
      for my daily schedule
      for each of my individual classes
      for figuring out my homework problems
      for writing down prayers
      for ticket stubs and memorable tokens
      for practicing my calligraphy ..
the list goes on and on
how did it get so long
I'm not sure
but
I guess that's okay
being organized isn't a bad thing
I think in my case it might be a bit excessive
but
that's just me I guess

bye bye until next time ^


today was the first time in a long time when a blog post idea came into my head instead of me trying to force an idea out
