Today was like yesterday, no long car rides. Except for some reason, it takes us four hours to get absolutely anywhere on this trip, so we did have a bit of car time I wasnt expecting.

But it wouldnt have mattered b/c I’m always in a thoughtful mood.

Look who’s alone now
Its not me
Its not me
Those three wise men theyve got a semi by the sea
Gotta ask yourself the question
Where are you now
Gotta ask yourself the question
Where are you now

[WISEMEN]

Giddy. That is the only way I could describe how I feel right now. I just spent a relaxing week with my two closest girlfriends in a beautiful place. I didnt think about school or any of the other junk that tends to bend my mind. I got a huge scholarship I wasnt exactly expecting to get this week. I got lots of presents this week: a lot of people I am thankful to have in my life.

I realize that I am loved.

When you know that, that you are loved, it makes everything better. It makes you feel more settled and purposeful and happy with yourself. It makes you more pleasant to be around. It makes you more kind to others. I am so lucky.

And by the way, I love you too.
