i’m taking a step back and taking the time to look at who i’ve become.

i must admit, i’m very proud of myself and all that i’ve been able to accomplish this year. i’m proud of the way i’m growing up to be. and i’m also proud of the “me” that i left behind.

you could say that i grew out of certain things that didn’t seem to fit in my life anymore. you can say i realized who my true friends are. you can also say i found myself in ways i never thought i was lost from.

i learned so much about myself and my surroundings that i’ve once been so oblivious to, and i’m thankful for it. i’m so thankful for this year so far because.. it’s been the best yet. i’m so content… better yet, so happy that i’m on the right track and right state of mind to reach the best version of ME that i can be.

dude.

okay, so my date yesterday was amazing, to say the least. i was smiling ear to ear, and i couldn’t contain my laughter even if my life depended on it. we met up at central park on a hot hot summer monday afternoon, and although i strongly detest the heat, i was the least bit agitated. 

i saw him, gave him his well deserved hug, and then we went around to find the perfect spot to have our picnic! i saw his bookbag and the bag he was carrying, and it was the absolute cutest because it was so BIG lmao and i just wanted to help him. anyway, so we start making jokes and i ask him why he brought so much! he’s like “listen, it’s my very first picnic and i wanted it to be the best ever, so i packed everything i could think of, and here we are.” lmfao so cute.

so we sit, we relax for a bit.. and then we got to know each other a bit better. the thing that impressed me the most was the fact that he remembers everything i once told him about me, and he actually pays attention to me… a lot. :’D

he also came with me to drop me home and made sure i got home safe.

ah. it was a very nice day.

Haven’t been on one in a while.
I wonder how this will go.
