under water.

this whole entire month, i've pretttty much felt exactly like this little peruvian chica.

it's been a rocky month... yet oddly invigorating. i feel like i'm constantly under about ten feet of water, but at the same time, i feel ready to make big changes in my life. to focus on who i am, who i want to become, and how to get there. to define myself as an artist and a scholar and a daughter of god. to brighten my own days and especially the days of others. to choose to be happy and to ignore the stress of the everyday. to love and to serve and to be inspired.

i haven't given myself much time to breathe since my hectic summer. but who needs to breathe, anyway, when you dive head-first into life? 

i kinda sorta {definitely} feel that my life is always going to be a bit under water. and you know what? i'm okay with it.
