Blogmas Day 8 - Music
/
Eight days into December and I’m still not feeling much of “the Christmas spirit.” Per usual, for me, really.

What’s up, my friends. It’s already December 7th? No way. I refuse to accept that the month is already a week over. It feels like Halloween was only a week ago. Anyone else feel me?

Good evening, friends. Welcome to Blogmas Day 6! Greetings to you from all the way up in Northern Michigan.

Blogmas Day 5 - welcome! This is becoming a late-night ritual of mine that I highly enjoy. Sitting and decompressing with you all. Thank you, again, for reading and coming along on my Christmas journey with me. December is usually a pretty tough month for me. Definitely, by no means, my happiest month of the year, even with my birthday in it. But, thanks in large part to these little diary entries, I’m enjoying it a lot more than I ever have.

It’s already December 4th - my brain can’t process that fully. In addition to it being Blogmas Day 4, it’s also my Momma’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM). It was also dentist appointment day. Yay. 😒 So, both of those things meant that a 2.5-hour drive was in order. My dentist and my Mom are both on the other side of the state from me, so Ethan and I often find ourselves driving to and from at all hours of the day. It can be exhausting and daunting, but I don’t plan to replace either of them anytime soon, so I better get used to it, I guess.

Where I'm At
/
Holy shiz, how is it nearly March?
I’ve seen a lot of other bloggers that I follow - and for the record, I follow a quite a few - do cheeky little blog posts just updating their readers about their life and what’s to come. I’ve done a few heavier, reflective life updates in the past, but never have I just sat down and written as if I were speaking to a friend about what’s up. So, here I am. 💁🏼♀️

I’m a quitter. There, I said it.
I have quit on - not everything - but most things that I’ve tried in my life. I’ve given up on so many dreams and plans when the going got too tough. I’ve ALWAYS been a quitter. I quit Girl Scouts in the 2nd grade. I quit volleyball in 3rd. I quit classes when they were too hard. I quit clubs that made me feel out of place. I even quit on career choices and life goals when someone else told me I couldn’t do it… I think you get the picture.

I’ve lived 25 long years. I can’t believe it.
I’ve never been one to think on my birthday too much, but for some reason, this birthday has really got me taking a deeper look into my life. I can’t believe that I’ve lived a quarter of a century. I honestly feel old - I know everyone says that, but for me, I officially can say it’s true.

Oh my god, it's my birthday. And I'm a quarter of a century old. I'm so calling BS on this.
Once you hit your mid-twenties, aren't you supposed to be wiser and more mature? Each day I wake up and still feel like a teenager or younger! I still make the same mistakes that I've been making my entire life.

It took me 24 years of my life to go to Frankenmuth, Michigan.
No, that wasn’t a typo. For those who have never heard of it, Frankenmuth - pronounced exactly how it’s spelled - is a small Germanic village in the middle of Eastern Michigan.

In case it wasn’t already clear, I am not big into most holidays and anything holiday-spirit-esque.
We didn’t celebrate them when I was young and I just grew up with the mentality that Christmas and the like were more-or-less unnecessary expenses, wastes of time, and stress-causers.

I have always loved Detroit. Even throughout its rougher years, and despite the fact that I’ve always lived more than a few years away; Motor City has always had a special place in my heart.

Each day I discover more beauty to see in my new backyard. Ethan makes it his mission to show me what I’ve been missing on this side of the state for the last 25 years and he is doing an amazing job. After months of exploring, I definitely have a new-found love of my home state. Hopefully my photographs can inspire you to do the same in your home.
