a week from instagram.

i'm going to be better. i promise. i've been very up and down lately, and it's taking a toll on everything i do, honestly. this week, i made the decision to go after what i want in life. i have one life to live, and i'm not going to spend all of my time trying to please other people. i've spent most of my years trying to be everything my parents want me to be. at this point, i couldn't care less. my opinions of them have changed completely in the past month, one for the better, one for the worse.

because of all of the drama in my family, i am better. i know what i want, and i'm going for it. maybe i won't reach my goal, but god damn it, i'm going to try my best to get it.

maybe you're wondering what my goal is, but for now, i want to keep that a secret. i need time to process exactly what i need out of life, and then begin to let everyone know what that is. i don't need anyone's support, but i do hope it's there.

anyway. because of all of this thinking i've been doing, i've gotten behind on my weekly instagram posts, but i haven't stopped taking those photos. here they are:

1. date night out with the boy! | 2. a little phone photo from a photoshoot i did last week | 3. strawberries with my grandma | 4. little birdy visitor on our window sill | 5. we had moldy lemonade.. | 6. worst graph i've ever sketched | 7. "the limit does not exist!" <-- mean girls moment! | 8. night doing calculus homework at starbuck's (iced white chocolate mocha, if you're wondering) | 9. poor baby ashley ate all of her nutella in less than a month | 10. quick shot of me after i filmed my september birchbox review (which still isn't up)
