The Reminder

[source & via]

It’s important to take a reality check sometimes. When reminded of all of the needs we have covered, it makes all of those wants and qualms less relevant. Continually guilty of this, I need to remember that all of the missed trains, failed quizzes, spilled drinks, canceled plans, coveted luck, and regretted actions are definitely not as life-shattering in hindsight.

Peace,

September Inspiration Board

[1] [4] [5] [6] [8]

1. .BEGINNING OF FALL. Because it’s no secret I’m obsessed.

2. .MILITARY JACKETS. Because I live in one.

3. .AUTUMNAL COLORS. Because my wardrobe’s color tends to mirror nature.

4. .APPLES. Because they multitask (hard cider, pie, etc.)

5. .BACK TO SCHOOL. Because communications lectures are essentially conversations I have with friends…

6. .FALL MIXTAPES. Because roadtripping and long walks need background music.

7. .TV. Because DVR is making me better at it.

8. .BOOTS AND CLOGS. Because sandals are overrated.

9. .COOKING. Because stir-fry eventually gets old.

10. .FLANNEL. Because I’m slowly but surely amassing a flannel arsenal.

11. .IMPENDING FOLIAGE. Because ’tis almost the season.

12. .HEMPFEST. Because Boston has the second biggest in the world!

Happy September.

The whole going back to school thing has been the cause for my absence. Living in a house with four of your best friends causes little time for anything else besides chatting.
