So this isn't goodbye, but... (aka definitely read if we're friends from here)

I do have something to say about this blog, where my life is going, and what this blog has been to me.

Over the last 2-ish years I have used this blog for everything from making friends, fangirling, posting photography, finding new music, and just expressing who I am. I actually went back and found the first post I made, and it's crazy how much I've changed. 

Here's some parts of it:

"I love This Century."

"I try to never look back on what happens, but I always seem to dwell on the past."

"I feel like I have to be perfect because my older brother is bad, and I have to prove that I’m not him. Don’t compare me to people that I’m not like."

"I want to be something important when I’m older."

"I lost my best friend a couple weeks ago." (This was badly worded... I meant she dropped me as a friend.)

"In the last three years my life has changed so much, but I’m a teenager, so what do you expect."

So, as you can see, some things haven't change! I still love TC, and I still change a lot. On that note, a lot has changed about me though.

I rarely dwell on the past anymore.

I try not to feel that pressure to be perfect and I've learned that I just need to be me and not anyone else.

I don't feel the need to be something important when I'm older, I just want to be a traveling photographer.

Finally, the girl who dropped me as a friend has become a close friend again and has helped me get through a lot in my life.

So as you can see, I've grown quite a bit since I have had this blog, and that's why I feel like it's time to move on and start using my new photography blog as my main blog. 

I know most of my followers follow me on here because of the band pictures I post, the fangirling I do, and possibly my obsession with This Century or The Maine. 

If you're someone who I've come close with on here, especially, thank you so much for being there. A lot of you guys (Sara, Jessica, Vicky, etc) have gotten me through a lot, encouraged me to do what I love, and helped made my Tumblr experience as amazing as it has been. Thanks so much, guys! I love you! (♥)

So, if you'd like to still be involved in my life and where I will post pictures, personal stuff, and you can watch my growth, feel free to follow me on my new blog! 

Thanks for all of you following me! You've been awesome and I may be on here still every once in a while! It's been amazing!

Follow, guys! Sarah takes amazing pictures and I'm sure you'd all love to see her shots from Warped Tour!

Alan Ashby || Of Mice & Men

July 22, 2012 The Comcast Theatre Hartford, CT

Tumblr | flickr | The Harmonic Series

I was the last person to arrive at the Of Mice & Men signing in Hartford due to a set starting and ending a bit late! Once I got there, there was a group of fans of the band who were extremely awesome and dedicated ahead of me! The girl right in front of me handed Alan this adorable cat that I think was supposed to be him in cat form.

Once she handed it to him he searched for a place to put it. Alan stuck it into his shirt and tried to make it peek out but it wouldn’t stay. Next, he tried to balance it on his shoulder but it continued to fall onto the ground. Finally, after about a minute of watching him struggle and trying to help, I asked for a picture of him with the nifty cat.

Of course, with Alan being the most adorable person ever, he placed it onto his should and gave it a kiss. One of their crew members quickly commented “Obviously it’s a boy cat!” but Alan just kept kissing it until I was able to get a good shot. 

This is why Alan Ashby is one of my favorite people ever.

Josh seriously seems like the coolest fucking guy ever. He even waved goodbye to Kristen and I as we left the photo pit and put out his hand for a high five from me. I haven't ever met them, but I've heard that he's hilarious and nice to almost everyone unless you give him shit.
