Allow Me to Inform You…

It was raining so hard…

Hello, people of earth. This is basically another update post of my random thoughts of my favorite moments.

1. Yesterday I spent the day with my marvelous sister.  We went to Walmart to buy some food, which we have not yet eaten. I bought candy corn. You know, there’s something about candy corn that reminds me of home. Wherever that may be. Well, we drove to the train station (singing Bohemian Rhapsody at the top of our lungs) and got onto the next train to ride to the mall. We could have gone to the one that we actually live next to, but… whatever.. I wore jeans and a jacket (and flip-flops), and I honestly felt very cold. We walked to the Half-Price Books first. Bree slipped and got mud all over herself. Just so you guys know, there is nothing magical quite like Half-Price Books. I think it’s the smell. It smells like a happy moment. I ended up buying about five books more than I planned. And here’s the best part: I have been searching for the same book for so long now. And yesterday, I found it….. It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini. Oh my gosh, I have been LONGING for that book! I’m planning on reading that this weekend, along with Water for Elephants.

Well after we paid for our books, we went to the mall. It was raining so hard! We were going, and there was wind, and we were soaked! It was really quite wonderful. We were hungry, so we went to an Asian place. I got some shrimp, which is one of my favorite foods. I haven’t tried much of it. I think I’ve had shrimp four times, maybe. That was some yummy stuff. We also went to a candy shop that reminds me of Christmas. Maybe I’ll post more about that later, but not right now. Overall, it was a pretty good night.

2. Yesterday morning I went to my grandparent’s shop to work. There’s something about that place. Afterward my grandmother took me to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte. We all know what that means- good bye, summer. It’s that time of year. I happen to love this time of year. SO MUCH. And I think I’ll write a post about the shop sometime.

3. Yesterday my parents read my blog, which I’m okay with. Everything about me is pretty much out in the open. I’m not really used to it, because I’m used to keeping secrets. Now all my secrets are gone. There’s really nothing for me to keep hidden anymore. Unexpectedly… I feel free. I don’t know why. I guess I’m just glad that I don’t have to keep things hidden anymore. I’m done with that! And looking back, that was the ultimate purpose of this blog. To be free. To let it go. To stop keeping those secrets. And it’s made things so much easier. I’m free from secrets now.

I have a new word lately. It’s called liberty. When I was young, I didn’t understand what it meant. It was just one of those words that you heard in history sometimes. Now that I get it, it has nothing to do with history or politics in my mind. Liberty has one meaning to me.

I’m free.
