Happy February 1st! January was long and harsh. We are moving up and forward from here.
There is a last straw for everyone
taking time to slow down and enjoy the little things 🍁
“stand by your friends in their hours of need”
really craving this meal again. mac n cheese with crumbled chorizo. im having pizza for dinner tonight. tomorrow im traveling to parkersburg to do thanksgiving with my family early. don’t worry, i have plenty of tupperware packed to bring some leftovers home. today was very snowy and rainy outside. the roads are yuck. i’ve been in a funk recently and struggling to get out of it. things are flooding my mind that i really don’t enjoy and am trying to heal through certain things. i struggle with knowing if i made the right decision cutting someone out of my life. we all have our boundaries, limits, and level of respect for ourselves making that a blessing and a curse. i refuse to give someone another chance who had already had multiple chances to treat me simply how a best friend should, to continuously disrespect me over and over again. people go through their own things too. i understand that. when you are communicating and asking someone who should respect you during one of the most vulnerable times in your life, and they laugh at you and step on your emotions in the process, that makes you never want to trust them with your feelings again. after being “just girls” together to then growing into adults and becoming our own people, i realized we were much different, and that anyone, even your best friend, can ultimately stab you in the back. i think what hurts the most is knowing she regrets the conversation/situation, and knowing it hurts her, knowing she misses me, and I still just want nothing to do with her. i can’t help it. i feel so betrayed. i feel so heart broken. i feel like i can never have a best friend again or be as close to someone on a friendship level as i was with her. it’s one of those feelings where no matter how bad it hurts, you just have no desire to even attempt to let it happen to you again. best friend broke my heart and im just now grieving our friendship 4 years later. i honestly feel so weird posting or even talking about it because its such a strange topic to discuss. emotions are weird, heavy, and overwhelming sometimes. its been nice to connect with new people. i will say, my life has been significantly better since cutting off my best friend. i couldn’t deal with the little toxic traits and underlying disrespect anymore. i miss her so much, i do. i will always love her. but my life and feelings are more important than rekindling friendships just because we were friends for almost a decade. people come and go and im still getting used to that. not really. i hang onto the ones i have because they are important to me. i appreciate who and what i have. im comfortable where im at. but of course my mind wanders. it nice talking about things into open space. i just let my thoughts flow and type as they come. i really don’t expect anyone to read this. it’s more for me, so i can personally look back and reminisce we’ll say. but if you did read this far, thank you.
thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.
attempting to paint a squishmallow bat for some family christmas gifts ❤️ i get all these ideas off of tiktok 😁
have never felt more grateful to have a dog ever in my life. growing up, we didn’t really have pets. considering it was just my sister and I always, we really didn’t have time to take care of a pet. we had a few dogs as i got older but for some reason, we just couldn’t commit to keeping them. now that im an adult, i understand the sacrifices made every day to have a pet. it is a day in and day out job that never ends. its fulfilling to teach him new things and watch him grow smarter and smarter each day. ❤️ i understand why sometimes life happens, and animals have to be rehomed. but once you commit to a fur baby, i fully believe you should keep them by your side no matter what. you are all they know. ❤️ i am so thankful he ended up with me. ❤️
november 5th, 2024
we are so back, it feels great to get back to my blog. i have neglected this account for so long and plan to bring her back to life. i have yet to read my last post(s) made on this account and honestly im excited to. shit changes too often and too fast. the ebbs and flows of life or whatever they say. im hanging in there. im actually about to start a new work schedule which im very excited for because i will get 3 days off a week, and work 4, 10 hour shifts.
ahhhhh this is so exciting to be back and thrive with dumping my random shit here. it feels like an old time friend i haven’t talked to in forever. writing is a good friend. today is a crazy day considering it’s election day so im grounding myself with some blogging, journaling, painting, and cleaning! i got a doggy a little over a year ago. we just went for a walk and now we are gonna relax and soak up some time at home. its my last day off before i work my first 4, 10 hour shifts in a row. it will take some getting used to. i took this lovely picture on our walk earlier and its crazy that its a high of 80 degrees outside in november. i live in wv and the weather always fluctuates like crazy this time of year but we are having warm days here and there which is making it feel less and less like fall as time goes on. all of the leaves are almost completely gone and its 75 degrees right now. apparently winter here this year is supposed to suck so we shall see.
im still in the process of taking my halloween decorations down and putting my Christmas stuff up! we are starting early this year. i saw this post my sister shared it said “Christmas is a season, Thanksgiving is a day.” so totally true though, i feel that every year. it takes everything in me to not put my Christmas tree up until after Thanksgiving and this year, i’n not waiting. its going up as soon as I run to my storage unit. which will be soon ;)
sending you my Christmas spirit
much love & thank you for reading,
-izzy
January 30th, 2022 ✨ I decided to get some fresh air and some nature vibes today 🌨 I started my day with washing my face, moisturizing, and brushing my teeth 🦷 After my morning routine, I made a homemade smoothie and a big breakfast! I fed my kitties, got dressed for the day, and headed out! I had fun today! We both have just gotten over Covid so being stuck in the house for days to weeks on end can start to drive someone/anyone crazy 🙄 I am thankful I got to step outside and enjoy my views on this beautiful Sunday afternoon ❄️ What have you done today? Make sure you are taking care of yourself mentally and physically! Here are some things that I do that make me feel better • Drinking lots of water • Stretching • Journaling • Being outside (even if you step out on your porch, it still counts) • Reading • Making a good meal for myself Today is a great day to have a great day. Times are tough right now but I haven’t forgotten about you. I am so proud of you and your accomplishments. Everyday is success and everyday is a new day! ❤️😃 Life is flying by for me at this current stage, sometimes I wish moments would slow down. I am still learning how to enjoy everything presented before me. Even if we don’t talk everyday, know I still love you and think of you! You have a friend in me, always. 🌟🌟🌟🌟 Happy Self Care Sunday! #selfcaresunday #selfcare #westvirginialiving #westvirginiawinter #wvsnow #snow #nature #wintervibes #letshaveagreatweek #happysunday #enjoylife #enjoythelittlethings #wetogether #proudofyou #yourenotalone #youhaveafriendinme #thankyou #iloveyouall (at Prickett's Fort State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZXdsDEFf9-/?utm_medium=tumblr

some concept playlists
the sun tastes different in every place; all you have is the dust, a car, your partner in crime, your freedom, and a heart hungry for adventure.
laying in the garden under the bright warm sun, lingering memories of a past summer love, eyes closed and slowly drifting off to sleep.
a chilly autumn day, you’re all cozied up in your bedroom with a warm drink to fight the common cold.
old buildings and even older books, you stay true to the classics by raising hell with your friends while wearing plaid and a black turtleneck. you’ll probably take part in bacchanalia at some point. (a dark academia playlist)
southern america is not all corn fields and heavy sun ; it’s also dust storms and the uneasy feeling that everything won’t turn out okay. the great depression is taking everything from you and you have to fight teeth and nail to survive in this cruel world. (a southern gothic playlist heavily influenced by the grapes of wrath)
a collection of piano pieces to relax/study to.
somewhere in england in the eighties, you’re a dispirited teen trying to find meaning to your life while being the witness of the disintegration of working class culture. you hate thatcher, and you are gay.
it’s 2005, and you’re spending the summer with your friends at the skate park. this is the best summer of your life, but you don’t know it yet. (a collection of punk rock anthems, it’s not that serious)
pt.ii
that feeling when you’re hanging out with friends. the hangout is ending soon. that weird sad feeling.
you’re a roman emperor happily preparing to stab your rival in the back. (a contemporary take)
dramatically staring into the night while your washing machine is beeping at you.
a still autumn morning, pale sunlight casting a colourless light over the landscape. a pot of coffee babbling sleepily in its corner in the kitchen and you turn on your radio to start the day.
that time of year where it’s just getting cold but it’s still a little too warm for everything you own and your lips are still getting chapped and you feel like you’re the last person in the world to have nobody to want. (real emo hours)
pt.iii
songs that give you the same feeling that achilles come down by gang of youths gives you
late summer evening at a theme park with your best friend
two old men living in a stone cottage that sits on the coast, having grown old together
it’s halloween night in a suburban town, and you’re the local emo kid (collab with @weltonpoets)
drafting a love letter and being very angry about it
thrifted clothes, stolen jewelry, signet ring with a stranger’s initials, ink stains on my fingers, lying about my family, chapped lips, smudged notes (involving lots of instrumentals because how can you sing when your heart is sworn to secrecy?)
tentative first steps towards falling in love while the world burns around you
writing your manifesto and watching the world burn outside
it’s raining and you’re sitting on a dock and watching the droplets fall in the water and you can’t help but feel numb but bursting with longing at the same time, your phone is buzzing with texts and setting notifications and you feel so alone but so numb and distant
do you want to kiss them or punch them? probably both (a ‘antagonist and love interest at the same time’ concept playlist)
Sometimes I miss people I haven't even talked to
Like yes I miss that guy whom I used to stare at from my class who randomly disappeared and I have no idea where he is now

100 Days of Productivity / Day 15
This is our cute Christmas tree that we have at work. Whoever decorated it made it look a bit silly in my opinion, but its still adorable. I am at work right now and took this picture because I figured I could update with a picture I currently took instead of picking one from my camera roll. I always pick aesthetic pictures from my camera roll. Not today y’all. I am very sleepy today. Since I had to be here to work at 3 today, I figured I could take a quick 1 hour nap before work. Which I did... but it only led me to be exhausted. I cannot wait to clock out at 11, my bed is calling my name.
This time of year is unnoticeably hard for me. I had a hard day Sunday, really grieving and missing my parents. I had snapchat memories come up where I was having rough days at exactly this same time last year. I take pictures sometimes on my really low/down days to remember them. I grow from them and remember how bad I felt then and sometimes compare it to my grief now. My grief missing my mom has gotten worse. I can’t enjoy a good meal sometimes without feeling guilty for enjoying it because my mom isn’t here to do the same. She deserves to still taste good food. It’s always the little things that make me so extremely happy, yet so extremely sad. I started having breakdowns in public. For awhile, and still sometimes, I hold in my outbursts or anxiety attacks until I get home. I just have been swallowing a lot of stuff for a long time. It is all starting to boil up, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It is all a sign that I am healing, I just need to learn how to let my emotions flow sometimes. I have done a phenomenal job taking care of myself and TRYING to take care of my mental health to the best of my ability. I miss my Dad a lot too, everyday. My parents deserved better lives without their demons always battling them. But It has been almost 19 months without my Mom and I feel like I am going insane somedays. It’s been so long yet it feels like yesterday I lost her. I know she is here with me, but I will never stop missing her.
I am trying to seek some type of therapy treatment to discuss my trauma and how I can live a fulfilling life while dealing with having emotions and thoughts that entirely consume me sometimes. I sleep good at night, but sometimes that late night anxiety gets my head thinking, and that is where my anxiety/panic attacks start to happen. Andrew takes care of me and holds me through it all. Him and I have been together 20 months, so he was there when my Mom passed. I wish he could have known the me before I lost my Mom. I sometimes miss that time but I don't miss who I was. I have grown up and learned so much. Be proud of yourself. I am proud of me. I’m working through my life and figuring everything out as I go. As my Mom used to say “Take it day by day.”
100 Days of Productivity Day 15 : This picture was taken at this super cute coffee shop in KC. I just love the vibes in this photo. I had much fun in Missouri with my family. They are truly a blessing. I love them dearly. I just wanted to clarify for anyone who crosses my profile and says “I wonder if these are her views everyday.” :) Usually, I will make note. Any who, my day was spent yet again being very “unproductive” you would say. I made myself some bacon and eggs. I played some video games. Later on I spent some time video chatting a few friends. There is a little diner right at the bottom of the hill where I live, so I ordered food to go and walked down to pick it up. I guess I did a decent amount of things. Just gets lonesome and boring inside, especially around the holidays, and you have no car. I am supposed to go to my moms gravesite this weekend and decorate for Christmas. Currently, I am still trying to arrange plans for that, but I am excited to make it up there. Before bed I am going to stretch and meditate some. I need just a huge release of tension from my body, everywhere. I am tired but also not. A change in environment is what my soul needs. Out of this state. New scenery, new people, new things, and new places. After fracturing my knees, coming home from medical discharge from USAF, I was really lost on what I want to do next. I started college as an English major and I do enjoy it, but I want to seek a new place. I am still figuring out “what I want to do with my life.” Does anyone know what they want to do with their lives? Is their a handbook to living a successful life other than enjoying and absorbing it to your fullest? Uhhhh, tough questions and no answers to them really, everyone has a different quest you could say. I am slowly figuring it out, and have been for a long time. I talked to my sister today on the phone, it was lovely to hear her voice. I miss her a lot sometimes. We aren’t obviously as close as we used to be while living together but we manage it the best that we can. Adulting takes up so much time anymore, it is so hard to keep contact full time with all your loved ones. I have people I talk to every day, some every week, some very month, etc. A simple “Hey I miss you, just thinking of you, hope all is well.” goes such a long way, people don’t realize! Pick up your phone and make that call! Send that text, risky or not! Leave that voicemail. Send that long annoying email. You get the point. I am going to wrap this up with a big thank you for reading the update. This blog right now is just my personal virtual journal to express whatever randomness fills my mind these days. Drink your water, write your journal entries, eat an avocado, moisturize your face, and do 10 pushups. No real reason to do so other than to change up your routine maybe, and 100% make you feel better. Before you go, think of 1 positive thing that happened to you today. You don’t have to tell me, just wanted you to have a uplifting moment to look back on today. Tomorrow is a new day. Get your beauty rest. I love you all.
