Happily Ever After

***** ON HIATUS, I'LL BE BACK SUMMER 2017 *****

[thisisnthappilyeverafter]

This blog is now on hiatus

Hello friends! Some of you may remember me mentioning that I will be serving a mission for my church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons). Well, I leave today! I won’t have access to the internet while I’m gone, so this blog will be on hiatus for the next 18 months. While I’m sad that I’ll miss the Siren and the Crown and all the craziness associated with those, I know it will be more than worth it. I am so super excited, and I hope you can be excited fro me too ;)

If you want to know more about my beliefs and why I made the insane decision to leave home for 18 months, please check out mormon.org - they have some great simple explanations of our values and beliefs.

I’ll leave you with this: “One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.” ~The First Doctor, 1964

See you in 18!

can you BELIEVE that Kiera is going to Dayton exactly a year and a half after I move away from there? SMH

If it makes you feel any better, The Heir tour stopped near my hometown LESS THAN A MONTH before I came home from college.

THE ELITE

[thisisnthappilyeverafter]

It’s the most wonderful and terrible thing that can ever happen to you. You know that you’ve found something amazing, and you want to hold on to it forever; and every second after you have it, you fear the moment you might lose it.

Them: Who do you want to win Eadlyn’s Selection? 

Me: America’s heart, by continuing to beat. All them boys can take a backseat to that. 

[thisisnthappilyeverafter]

America, my love, you are sunlight falling through trees.

America Singer

what I love about America Singer is that she is kick butt, but she doesn’t kick literal butt. she kicks butt with her words and actions and changes the world. Which is so much more amazing to me because I will never be Katniss, but I may be America.

Thank you.

Woahhhh 4000 followers! I can’t believe it! About a year and a half ago I was begging for popular selection blogs to follow me back, and now I’ve met so many amazing selectioners. You guys are my everything just fyi because you always listen to my rambles, pathetic edits, and everything else stupid I do.

xoxo, Aire

Free Design Resources

Hey this is a bit different from my usual posts, but I thought I would do a quick mini-master-post of my favorite design resources for poor amateur designers like me. 

Pixlr - A simplified and free online photo-editing program in the vein of Photoshop (but easier to learn than PS). There’s also Pixlr Express which is like an advanced Instagram editor, with filters and stuff like that. It can also do collages.

Creative Market - Every week they have 6 “Free Goods’ for download - fonts, textures, templates, anything you can imagine! 

Free Stock Photos: There a lot of websites that have free hq photos with no copyright restrictions, for use on whatever you want, commercial or personal. My personal favorite is Unsplash, as well Life of Pix, Gratisography, and Splitshire. This post has even more options. Deviantart also has a lot of resources like textures and photos, but depending on the users, they have various usage restrictions. (Shoutout to sirius-sdz, my favorite for textures with no usage rules!)

Anyway, I hope these resources help anyone who is looking to get into design, but is intimidated by the big price tags or “personal use only” fine prints!

I’ll love you until my very last breath. Every beat of my heart is yours. I don’t want to die without you knowing that.

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

[thisisnthappilyeverafter]

Feeling bittersweet about the cover release. Because, it makes me all the more excited for the actual book to be in my hands, BUT that won’t happen for at least another 18 months, i.e. when I get home from my mission trip.

[schreavetiara]

the book’s coming out in May, right?

[thisisnthappilyeverafter]

Yeah, but I’m going to be on the other side of the world without access to it (or time to read it for that matter) until like summer 2017 😁. It’s a long story.
