Finding joy in the smallest of things
This is just a guess, but I truly believe that we’re meant to find joy in the small things that life gives us, rather than wish so big and unrealistically. Rather than expecting more and more, I would much rather sit and relish in my current blessings, abundant as they are.
I want to enjoy every moment of my life to the fullest. I want to find happiness in the smallest and most...

Each day
Relationships have always been sort of a mystery to me. These can not be explained by a simple formula, experience, or conceptual philosophy, because the reality of a relationship is that it is a forever-changing, unique thing.
Each day is a new adventure. Each day we discover something new about each other. Each day that passes is another page in our fairy tale.
Sadies
Today, I asked my boyfriend to Sadies!
It’s been my dream to be serenaded by a guy, so I thought that I would turn that around and do that for him instead. It would have worked a lot better if I could play the guitar adequately and could sing coherently, but it’s okay.
I thought I was keeping it a surprise, but through one way or another, he found out and was anticipating it. But...

Changing seasons
It is evident now that the weather is changing, taking away the warm afternoon sun and leaving behind the chilly California breeze.
Leaves are falling. The wind is crisp as it hits my face. My fingers are numbing. Windshields are fogging. Coffee shops are swarming. Couples are cuddling.
And with the change in weather and scenery comes a change of heart. It may just be the cold getting to me,...

Feeling what I feel.
Feeling’s accomplice is Thinking. They prey on the introspective, causing them to linger on every action, word, and emotion. They are a relentless coupling, keeping one tossing and turning each night, searching for the answer.
But… you never know if what you’re feeling or what you’re thinking is right.

Three Things to Hold Dear
Sentimentality. I have a collection of letters that my students from both Cambodia and Guatemala that means the world to me. Each of the letters has certain significance, as the words are from the hearts of the most sincere people in the world. They are written in English, Korean and Spanish, inscribed in pencil, crayon and even highlighter. These letters find their home in a hidden back pocket of...

Dress shopping!
Me: Why not the black dress?
Mikey: Cause I don't get the one sleeve thing.
Me: What don't you get?
Mikey: Like...it's throwing me off!
Me: Hahah.
Mikey: If it were just the dress I'd get it, but then there's...a sling. LOL.
Me: LOLOLOL
Mikey: I'm like... whyyy?

It's no wonder
It’s hard to believe that you still don’t understand why there is a lack of communication between us. Have you noticed that I don’t look at you when you talk to me? Have you noticed that everything you say is ridiculous, and is a repeat of what you said the night before? Good, you noticed.
Then I hope you noticed that this is my personality, and no matter how much you bicker and...

Just the way things are.
Some things are better left untouched, because tampering with it may just ruin what was perfectly fine in the first place.
I can’t help replaying last night. It was thrilling, comforting, and nice, for a lack of a better word to describe all of the thoughts running through my mind.
We’re good the way we are. Nothing more, nothing less.
Anonymous asked: did you do well on your catapult project? i have the same project, and i was wondering if you could give me some tips.
What can I say?
Sometimes, I’m left speechless. There just aren’t enough words for me to spill, and yet I always prevail in making myself look like an idiot. I may just be trying too hard, because I don’t do this on a normal basis; if so, I would have slapped myself by now.

The best.
These past few weeks have proved to me that life can get really tough, sometimes to the point of no mercy. However, what I’ve learned through all of this is that I honestly have the best friends anybody could ever ask for. Yes, that sounds cliche, but at this point, I’m so proud to say that I have the friends I have. How I deserve them I have no clue, but I can confidently say that...

Dear Kasey,
Yeah, you, the creep lurking on my Tumblr.
Thanks for always looking out for me. Love you!
Earlier this week, I lowkey was not enjoying life. Today, I can truly say that I highkey hate life.
Anonymous asked: Dear Diana, I know things have been pretty stressful lately. But take a step back&visualize your life in a few years, probably living thousands of miles away on the East Coast. Hopefully, you’ll reminisce&remember everything going on now as early steps toward your “ideal” life, whatever it may be. Don’t get discouraged,&always go to those you trust for help....

Subpar
I know I can do better. This is disappointing, but it only motivates me more to push myself and get over the mess of things I’ve made. It’s not the end, and I’m definitely not giving up.
Channeling in the frustration and anger and turning it into determination and action.
Anonymous asked: You're pretty, smart, and funny. I can walk out of chem and hate my life, but seeing and talking with you always makes my day better. Stay positive Diana :)

Thank you for showing your care. It’s been a long week, and I haven’t been feeling my best, but you continued to support and stay with me. I really appreciate you.
Honestly, it’s all about believing in yourself, and staying confident even when you start to feel your lowest.

Getting to be too much.
Everything used to be peachy. Now its getting to be a little too over-ripe, if I’m continuing with this awful analogy to explain the rate at which my life is going.
There’s too much to do in too little time, leaving me to wish that each day could be extended an extra six hours so I can finish everything that I need to accomplish. One thing is crossed off my list, but then I am forced...

I think I had it all wrong. I was in love with the idea of you, but it wasn’t you who I was in love with. I was blinded. Well then, this isn’t going to make things any easier or less painful.
