Random, fun stuff

[hyeinie]

Why is it that the closer we are to someone, the harder it is to say "sorry"? Just random late night thoughts

One of my kids cancelled today... Normally I'd be excited but there was that sad realization that I'll never see him again

cutting off

today i cut off the flower stems of my orchids because they were dead.

apparently you have to cut it off so that new flowers can grow in.

my heart raced as my scissors sliced through the dead, brown stem.

the flowers were still on it, but they were dry and shriveled.

i thought, maybe the dried flowers are pretty too? 

but there’s so much more in store for my orchid and i shouldn’t settle for the dead dried flowers.

it may take months for it to flower again -- and it may never flower again -- but i wanna have hope that it will.

and that it’ll be the most beautiful bloom of flowers, ever. 

this is just a tad dramatic for a plant, but there’s a metaphor buried in here ;)

aging

i’ve reached a point in my life where i might cry because something is so beautiful

i always thought it was the overly sentimental and dramatic people who did that

and i would have never considered myself to be overly emotional

but i guess aging does that to you

So much has changed in one year o.o

2017 monthly desktop wallpapers (in black)

A while ago I saw a few studyblrs using their computer backgrounds as a to-do list and calendar, so this inspired me to make my own version. After such positive feedback from my Instagram followers I have decided to share them with you! Each month is available to download as a JPEG file from the link below.

Folder of 2017 desktop JPEGs on Google Drive

Once they’re downloaded, head to your control panel (PC) or system preferences (mac) to change your desktop background. 

I hope you enjoy using these and if so, I’d love to see them in action! Feel free to tag me (#emmastudies) in any photos you upload. If there are any problems or errors, please let me know via my inbox.

Disclaimer: This background is for personal use only. The fonts used are not distributed via these downloads. You will not have access to use them from any of these files. They must be downloaded yourself. You can find the month header here.

[Update: I have created a white background version which you can download here]

Grad school

I just started following like ten study blogs.... I am so ready for grad school But only for the stationary part of it 😄

[hyeinie]

Is it weird that one of the most exciting aspects of going to grad school is using a planner? Also study blogs are 👌

[hyeinie]

Orchids enter a state of “rest” or dormancy in which all of the flowers fall off and the orchid is storing up more energy to rebloom. 

Even flowers need rest...

Me when I'm journaling while drunk

[hyeinie]

I was thinking and looking at cheese as I bit into my gummy... Disappointing

[hyeinie]

wow... finally finished all (two) of my applications for grad school... after two years of hesitations, excuses, and confusion... 

also filed my first real tax return (omg, I actually get money back??) 

is this adulting for real though?

Learning not to put too much stock into what others think Not depending on affirmation from others It's hard learning how to be more thick-skinned

random musings

I didn’t realize how much reassurance I want from others...

Also the fact that when someone tells me everything will be okay, I feel like it actually will be okay. I know they’re just words, but why do they have so much power over me?

Maybe I’m just a very simple person.

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.
