Preview of a shoot I did with @amandagracewilliams and @k_full1 😍

This is another “I’m sick of school and life and I want to go home” post.

I love all my photos of my friends on my wall. I miss them all a lot. It’s the only part of my room that makes me feel at home here.

I’d give anything to be here right now. Away from school, work, and stress. Just me and the beauty of the world. A place where someone isn’t constantly pointing out my flaws and mistakes. #icouldreallyuseabreak

The view is great from up here 😁 #fisheye

We’re cute. I guess.

Cause Jess was mad I haven’t posted a picture of my face yet.

My best friend is so damn pretty.

More tomorrow. I need sleep.

I went on a photo adventure with Jess today. We played around with a fish eye lens. I need to use this more often. More photos to come.

Drinking tea and not doing homework. #imallowedonedayoff #tryingtobemorecreative

Why have I been up since 5 am on a Saturday? Oh, that’s right, cause of work. At least I work at a coffee shop… #sorryikeeppostibgthesephotos #ihavenothingbettertopost

ATTENTION EVERYBODY, meet the newest cast member that’s working innoventions at the happiest place of earth, my best friend @tayymaurer. I’m so proud of her for following her dreams and staying with them, no matter how long it took. I’m super excited for what she does, and i cant wait to see her in action. Congrats!!!! #disneyland

Midterms are over, but no spring break for Lindsey. While everyone is going home, I’m stuck at school cause of work. Catching up on some reading with what little free time I have. #yaywork #nobreak #killme

Cause this photo looks better cropped in a circle.
And on that note, goodnight.

These are the first pictures I’ve taken in months, and I’ve never been more pleased.

The past month has been stressful. My life has just been school, work, and sleep. I’ve found myself crying myself to sleep countless times because the pressure was just too much for me to handle. It became about just getting through the day without breaking down in hopes that a better day would come tomorrow. Life was no longer enjoyable. And  I started to lose sight of who I was.

But last weekend I realized something. I finally had one free night, so I went home to visit my boyfriend. On our way home from a date, he decided to drive the long way home, through the back country. The sun was setting, we had the roof down, listening to jazzy tunes, hand in hand while we drove off through the beautiful scenery. I forgot how much I loved doing this, just driving through the middle of no where, and who better to spend it with than him. And right then and there I wanted to cry—not because I was sad, but because I was so happy. I haven’t been that happy in awhile. 

I realized I need to go back to my roots and find who I used to be again—the carefree spirit who seeks adventure and can’t be confined to a tiny space. I know I still have tons of responsibilities I have to attend to, but I need to find a happy medium of work and play time. I’ve been focusing on doing work to please others and completely neglected me.

So that is what this picture represents: finding myself again. Taking a break from adulthood to enjoy the things I used to love. I need to remember that while my life in constantly changing around me, I can’t lose sight of who I am again.

Don’t worry, there be more photos to come.
