I've been feeling kind of down lately so I thought I'd start one of these. It's easy to see everything in a negative light when you're having a bad day, but the truth is there usually is some good somewhere. Just try and find one good thing in your day, and if you can't find one, create one. Read your favorite book, write a story, watch your favorite show, listen to your favorite song, go for a walk as the sun is setting (sunsets are gorgeous and it's a surreal feeling walking around during the sunset), whatever makes you happy.

Today I was happy because I got to listen to some really good music.

It happened yesterday but is still making me happy:

I finally worked out the character placements in one of my main stories! (At the cost of reaping one of an earlier, more preffered character, but whatever.) The plot had been overly-complicated before that, because I wasn't willing to delete characters I liked. BUT NOW! YES! It all clicks now!

It kind of feels like tetris, evil mode. 

And I might have jumped to back to square one in plot design again.

And I still can't write in a good tone.

And I still need to expand my vocabulary.

And I still need to design a ton of scenes, which I don't know how to do just yet. 

And I need to line them up in a way that makes sense.

But progress is progress! And I'm darn going to get this romace finished even if it's the last thing I write! HAH!

I'm happy b/c... wait am I happy hmmm sorta anyways

I LIKE MY OUTFIT TODAY okay so it's this awesome button-up shirt (but the buttons are actually SNAPS and they're pink and pretty) that is a green-ish yellow with pink flowers, has two pockets where the little flap thingies for those are kinda like a reallu stretched-out upside down w and the collar is pointy and it's just scudding awesome, and that's tucked into a skirt that I have kinched around my wait with a brown belt with gold hole thingies (also to match my shoes and pull everything together) that I've had since I was three I think anyways I love it and rn it's down to my knees and it's pink and flowy with tiny little flowers on it, and then some awesome brown coyboy boots  and I have my looooooong brown hair down as usual and I just freaking love it

also I got a new charger thingy for my watch b/c I lost it over the summer and now I have two answers when someone asks "what time is it" so that people don't just get annoyed with my constant Hamilton references

speaking of which HAMILTON MAKES ME HAPPY like singing it non-stop (pun intended) and drawing the characters and writing stuff and~

also y'all like I tell y'all (why do I keep saying y'all? isn't that, like, supposed to be more of a southern thing? I live in the north-east....) stuff I wouldn't say to my irl friends I feel like y'all wouldn't judge me and actually understand me and like what I find makes the best friend combination is having a bunch of things in common (so they can relate and help each other) but also having differences that compliment and I feel like that's exactly how it is here; there's no one here you won't relate to at all but there's no one here who is exactly the same and it's scudding SPINIDDLY~

oh scud this is getting long and run-on sentences like woah (oops I did not mean to reference 21 chump street there sorry ha)

I'm happy because pangolin shared some theories about my ski lodge which were really interesting, and because I listened to a 2013 nostalgia playlist that reminded me of when I was younger :)

I'm happy because it was a short day, and one of my friends who was being horrible to me has started being less horrible as of late.

I'm feeling joyful b/c I've found some stories (read: fanfiction) and in one of them one of the characters dresses in a more "feminine" way (btw feminine is is quotes b/c why should clothing be gendered?) and also sounds so scudding cute~

also yesterday my ~crush~ complimented my earrings which is great 'cause I love these 

also b/c for one of my classes we had to write baby-naming speeches and create a baby-naming ceremony thingy and I partnered up with one of my bffs (iImma call her Rose b/c her name means that also she likes roses) and we "had" (aka pretended) twins, and she named one and I named the other. She named hers Eliza Leonie and mine is Jackie Keshet. Eliza is after her great-grandmother or somthing, Jackie is after my great-aunt. I also coulda done John, but like John and Eliza? uhhh that reminds me of something we both are obsessed with.... Also I like the name Jackie, and also it may or may not be the name of my ~crush~. And Keshet means rainbow in Hebrew, and I love rainbows (ofc, just look at my name!), so.... 

Also one of my morning sorta-classes (it's called AM for some reason, I go to a jewish school, so it's praying, but there are some where it isn't praying [like yoga or nature walk or improv or journaling]) was really fun. I mean, it always is with one of my BFFs in it (let's call her Spring b/c that's what her name means) and a close friend Mushroom. But today we danced around and stuff and it was great 

okay bye~
