I spent last week with my favorite adventurer and babe, Erica. I got to hang out with her in school and she visited 2nd year, we hung out with some friends and family who were also visiting from Utica and Philly (which was like sprinkles on a cupcake), went to the beach and to San Francisco for some time and hung out with our cousins who showed us around the city- it was super fun!
We did a lot of laughing, laying around-on random patches of grass, ice creaming, making new friends together, driving, unicorn hunting, talking...
Living is magical!
I'd probably not say that about two years ago though...not because I hated life:), but because that seemed TOO happy for me. "Please take your ecstatic-about-life emotions and go somewhere because I'm getting nauseous..." Life is ______________________________________. (insert emotions)
If you could assign either a plus(+) or a minus(-) sign to everything in the world- people, objects, animals, emotions, weather, etc., not everything would be a plus sign. There'd be (+)s and (-)s all over.
I would glance at the (+)s, but mulled over the (-); naturally, my eyes would just seek out the (-) because that's what was most familiar to me. After all, mulling over the (-)s rather than (+)s just made me really accustomed to - - - - -.
Eventually I started loving the (+) so much that I spent more time thinking about (+)s (sun, friends, hugs, ice cream, fireworks, laughing...) and if a (-) came along, I'd go around it, or fix it if need be, or throw (+)s at it until it became one!
I started to think about this whole process recently because I asked myself this question; "Why do I think everything is so magical?!"
Don't get me wrong. I feel sad, hurt, gloomy, but then I look for the (+)s again.

Einstein and I, we're on the same page ;)
