1:05 AM.
A tuesday night.
Outside temperature: 40 degrees.
So here I am huddled in my fur coat in front of this computer. And you're in and reading this at some point in the near future and I honestly couldn't be happier about that.
Life is all over the place these days.
One Saturday morning I'm in Columbus, Ohio standing next to the casket of my deceased grandmother, as the rain taps on the makeshift blue tarp shelter above my head.
Another day I find myself driving through the sepia tinted streets of Jupiter laughing with friends at joke after joke, listening to mix cd after mix cd, song after song.
Cut to any one of the days spent at school, taking tests, writing essays, but for the most part, enjoying senior year.
And there was my last homecoming week, which I enjoyed to it's fullest extent.
I wish everyone a joyous Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays. Have a nice day. I wish you all the best. Go to class and get good grades. Treat yourselves to a pina colada. They're so good. Don't let the bad things in life get you down because someone always has it worse. Friends are jewels and family is gold.
I have a little parting gift for you as well:
It's a little mix I labeled "Courage".
