BUTTTTT Today is the first day of July!
Things June has taught me :
1. I am in love with all things Europe.
2. It is okay to cut people out of your life, even if its just for awhile. Drawing lines like that is something I need to get better at. I've learned that it doesn't make me a bad person or even a bad friend to tell someone that the way they are treating me isn't okay. Nobody else is going to do that for me and I have struggled a lot with not letting him back into my life so easily. Honestly, I feel better. If he wants to be in my life then it is going to have to be on my terms this time because the way he handled things before wasn't right.
3. When the going gets tough, write a song. One of the most important things about writing songs and performing(of any kind) is to be vulnerable. That is still really hard for me. It is hard for me to let people see that side of me, but the thing is, that's what makes a great performer. So, I need to get comfortable with that. I need to learn to find the emotions that are inside of me and bring them out in a productive way.
4. Don't forget EVER again how much you love reading! This last school year, I really didn't do much reading, not because I didn't want to, but because there really was just no time! So this summer I have gotten back into reading and I cannot tell you how much I love it! <3
5. A good attitude can change almost any situation into a good one. I have had to go to class this summer even when I didn't want to, and that put me in a bad mood....but on the way there I sing in the car and get all those negative emotions out. When I get to class I am not only not in a bad mood anymore, but I'm in a good mood and ready to work!
6. Persevere. Life is hard sometimes. Classes are long sometimes. Rooms get messy sometimes....but if you pick yourself up, go to class even if you don't feel like it, and clean your room even when there are a million better things to do, it will pay off...and you will feel so much better about it!
Things I want to do in July :
1. Workout! I spent three hours today cleaning the loft so that we can put the Total Gym upstairs. I am determined to start working out again.
2. Write a new song.
3. Finish my summer reading and find something to love about the book :)
4. Eat healthier, instead of eating chips or drinking Dr.Pepper, make a smoothie or eat something with hummus :)
5. FINALLY finish writing the Europe Installments.
Things I'm looking forward to this July :
1. Rerecording my demos!
2. The Avett Brothers Concert!!!
3. Graduating from John Casablanca and signing with an agent!
June has been a good month! It had a lot of new adventures for me! It has been a year since I started this journey into pursuing my career in music/acting/modeling. I have learned so much in just a year and I am really proud to say that I have grown so much as an artist and a performer! I am excited for what the rest of the summer holds! It has been lovely so far.
By the end of the month I want to be back to the 115 lbs I was at for most of the school year! That's my goal. It means only loosing about 5 pounds and I can do that! I just need to start working out again :)
Well! Welcome to July!
May it be a fabulous little month!
