summer

new found freckles
natural highlights
so much sunshine i could swim in it
soaking up the sun and loving life
late night facials and night swimming
meeting new people and making more music
singing every chance i get
swimming and yoga and dance oh my
its almost over, but falls so far away

long hair

for about a month now ive been trying to grow out my hair to the bottom of my rib cage. i got short layers on  the top of my head but kept the length around my shoulders on new years. i used to have blonde hair but i dyed it back to my normal medium brown. my hair is mid rib cage on the longest hair and has grown 5 1/2 in. in 8 months. i dont know why i want long hair so bad. ive reached out and bought special shampoo and conditioner. ive changed my diet so im eating more biotin and protein. i almost bought some "hair nails and skin" pills but my mom said she'd to do some research first. im not alone in this, my best friend is on the same journey her hair is about 2 in. longer than mine at the moment. i guess you could say the "popular girls" in school are all growing their hair out too, my favorite actress has long hair to her waist. im also angry with my layers, it doesnt let me do as many hair styles as i'd like. popularity is the fact everyone wants to be you, but  you wouldnt want to be them, so you're "above" them. im glad at my school the mean girls arent actually mean, the only time i was ever bullied was by some girls a year older than me but even then my friends stood up for me and it wasnt even a problem. i wouldnt call myself in the popular crowd but im not much of an outcast. i  keep to myself, have fun with people who i can have fun with, and get good grades. i cant say i dont want to be popular, everyone does, but its not my first priority. how did i get here from long hair?

Monday morning

Of course its summer, so Monday mornings aren't the same,  but they make me think about other things. I only spend about 6 hours in school for nearly 3/4 of the year, but all my memories from school, people school, and teachers are such a strong part  of me. i can still remember when my fourth grade teacher ms.escobar told me not to worry about an assignment were doing because i would get a perfect grade. i remember the look on mrs. daniels face when i was her first student to win an essay contest. of course having  seven different classes made teachers stand out less but ive made it clear mrs. rosenbaum stood out regardless. seventh grade lots of my teachers were more work less play but the year still wouldnt have been the same without any of them. little things break down to have the tiniest impact, where i sat strengthened and weakened some of my friendships. but everything can change still, i still have the rest of my life through another historical figure project :( and more reading as homework(yay!). i plan on making more memories and writing my mind like this whenever i can.
