I thought I would break up the monotony just a bit by going into how I find all these books to read. Well, first of all, I’ve been collecting books on my Kindle for years, so my “to be read” pile of ebooks is already quite extensive. And as I think I’ve mentioned, I’ve been using NetGalley for books quite a bit lately. But another source of inspiration for my reading pile is #bookstagram.

Last year, while Ricky and I were in London on vacation, he decided to surprise me one day with tickets to see my favorite DJ. Then we went to dinner, and that night he proposed on Tower Bridge.

I really need to blog more. I need to write more in general, honestly. Lately I have been working a lot (I have so many part-time jobs it’s crazy) and have been missing a creative outlet in my life. I feel like this is something that everyone potentially needs. Whether you take photos, write a blog, make YouTube videos, write songs, draw, paint, cook, make jewelry, or something else, it’s important to be creating something new. I think it legitimately helps your well-being and your mood. And not taking the time to create has been affecting me. I know I like writing, and I feel a pull to it, but often I don’t know what to write. So when inspiration strikes, I try my best to take advantage of it. So here I am.
