This made me love Tswift and Zac Efron a little more.

Super cute.

Picture 29- What i'm listening to- JAYME DEE

Jayme Dee is one of my favorites.

I listen to her all the time.

I like her voice.

She is going to be on the Hunger Games soundtrack!

Can't wait to hear that song!

Last Picture/Video of the month of Feb.

Also,

Happy Leap Day. Feb. 29th only comes around every 4 years

Enjoy the extra day of life.

Picture 28- $$$

HEY MUST BE THE MONEY!!!

All $15 bucks in my wallet.

It's rare that I carry cash.

But happened to have some today.

Good thing, so I could catch up on my picture of the day.

Only one picture left…

this challenge was harder than I thought it would be.

Picture 27- What I ate… and my thoughts on food and complete honesty.

What I ate today.

Falafel, pasta salad, pita, and spicy hummus.

I love when the farmer's market comes to ASU.

But here is the dirty.

It's not really a confession nor is it a secret that

I have fought bulimia since I was 18 years old.

I'm 23 now, almost 5 years.

That is a really long time and a horrible battle that I hope no one I know ever has to face. Sad thing is 1 in 4 female college students have an eating disorder. Most women who have been sexually abused also have an eating disorder. But, a really good friend of mine, helped me realize that I had a real problem about a year and a half ago. He helped me find the strength in myself to stop.

I had been hiding unbelievable secrets, that were eating me alive inside. Now that everything is out in the open and I have been more than punished for transgressions that were and were not completely my fault. I don't have anything to hide anymore. But sometimes I still have that void that was inside, the void that can be filled by the comfort of food, which ultimately leads to a binge, which leads to guilt. A void that was filled by my obessive compulsive running, which lead to a broken foot.

Needless to say, unbalanced and unhealthy living.

I'm still not completely healthy.

I still sometimes obsess over food or when and how long I'm going to work out.

But I'm working on it, and I am continually getting better.

Here are some healthy ways that help. Not just diet but healthy living.

This probably was more information than anyone wanted to know about me, but I'm putting it out in the open anyways, because I don't have anything to hide and I'm not ashamed that I'm not perfect and that I have struggled with food and self-image. But, it's never too late to start to love yourself. <3

Picture 26- night

Windy night.

No stars in the sky.

Lights across the lake.

Night.

Sara Bareilles - Gonna Get Over You

This made me laugh.

Really chessy.

But quite funny.

Watch til the end.

Picture 24 & 25

Inside my bath room cabinet.

It is a mess and a collection of randomness from the past 10 years of living in this house.

Also, I don't think any of that stuff is mine …

GREEN.

This is my favorite thing that used to be on my board.

It got too heavy and fell off though.

Argyle

You is important.

-The Help

Picture 21: A picture you like of yourself

One of my senior pictures.

Taken almost 5 years ago.

Wow, how time flies.

Yesterday, I went on an online shopping spree.

I bought a

new swim suit,

running shoes,

2 pairs of boots,

and a dress.

Haven't felt buyers remorse yet, until then I will continue on with the theory that shopping is the best therapy.

But anyways.

A Thousand Years

I get the chills every time I listen to this song.

Even though I was disappointed in Breaking Dawn pt. 1

The music of twilight never disappointments.

If only love stories were actually the way Hollywood portrayed them to be...

Fun.:

Want a fun song to sing your heart out to?

BB & I have a great deal of fun singing loudly.

Try it out.

WE ARE YOUNG. fun

Internet!

I HAVE INTERNET AT MY HOUSE AGAIN!!! HIP HIP HURRRAYYYYYYY!!!

Which means I no longer have to be a weirdo and go sit in the McDonalds parking lot to get free wifi to turn in my papers and I can come home and do my HW!

Picture 15/ 16- phone & something new.

Lazy photography at it's finest. My phone is on the left and my new favorite right is on the right.

Hearts

Picture 14: Hearts. Forgive me for not taking a picture myself. Love day is an interesting day. I can say when I love, I love hard. A loyalist really, you will always be loved. But, sometimes my love doesn't win and giving everything wasn't enough. But I'm waiting until it does and it is… <3

Picture 13- Blue

Blue Light.

Picture 12- inside my closet.

This is my closet. It's full of many things from books to well pretty much everything. Enjoy.

Also, the tournament today at U of A was fun. ASU rocked it. I love volleyball!

Picture 11: What makes you Happy

it is slightly ironic, that today's picture is what makes me happy.

in that, less than an hour ago, a rude man that is also my father yelled at me for NOT taking responsibility for my unhappiness.

Needless to say,

He did not make my list of what makes me happy.

What did...

because I didn't know I was unhappy today

and things do make me happy.

are as follows.

My two pumpkin heads.

My new origami owl.

And the note that was on the box,

Made especially for me

that read,

" Your journey has molded you for your greater good.

And it was exactly what it needed to be.

Don't think that you've lost time.

It took each and every situation

You have encountered

to bring you to the now, and now is

RIGHT ON TIME."

Other things that make me happy are birthday cards, CAKE, text messages from people I haven't talked to in months, Zumba, volleyball, photography, photoshop, and well you get the point...

the list can go on and on.

So take that father... you don't know nothing bout me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ME. 23

February is my favorite month.

Mostly cause my birthday is in a week and a half.

Also, LOVE DAY is in two weeks.

It's just a really good short and sweet month.

I'm going to try to do the photo a day challenge.

Also, I made the ASU club volleyball team.

My skills are still there behind all the rust.
