 Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be."

I did a post like this a while back, but I figured it needed an update to adjust to my tastes. Because I am likely going to private school, we probably won't be moving. As of now, my room is orange (ohg god!) and I desperately want a more subtle, mature change. Below are inspiration and pieces I aspire to get for my NEW room. Enjoy!

100th Post of 2012!


Wow! This is my 100th post of the year, and let me just say it has been a long journey and I've learned a lot. Not only am I a year older, I've grown in maturity and interest, so I wanted to take a moment to reflect.
At the beginning of the year, I was a "follower". My personality went in waves. I was a normal, mainstream pre-teen girl, obsessed with Justin Bieber and friends.There wasn't anything and unique about me, everyday was the same routine.
Towards the middle of the year, I started feeling really overweight, and depressed. I started listening to crappy bands, who temporarily made me feel like I was important, but things didn't change. I wanted to dye all of my hair, and get piercings, and essentially become "scene". I wasn't happy about anything, and dreaded waking up every morning. My friends noticed changes and wouldn't leave me alone about what I thought I wanted, until I got too embarassed to talk about it.
Finally, summer came and I changed a lot. I started playing softball with an older team, and stopped listening to those crappy "emo" bands. I started losing weight, and feeling empowered by strong females. My taste started to develop towards things I genuinely liked, and wasn't afraid of sharing. I made new friends, and things were going well.
Now, I'm about 20lbs lighter, and approaching a new highschool life. I have started taking guitar lessons, working out, and focusing on my school work. I'm in the process of setting up for a YouTube channel, and coming to terms with my odd mood swings.
I've learned a lot, and definitely struggled down a dark path for a while. Years pass, and so do feelings. Know that if you give in tonight, you're giving up on me too. Feelings are temporary, life isn't. Stay strong, because things get better.

Looking forward to another great year,
Tara

LIGHTS In Concert!

On October 26th, I was given the privilage to see my idol, LIGHTS, live! What a monumental day. She came on stage after an energetic set from the Arkells, wearing a blue denim jacket, a gray muscle tee, and black skinnys and combat boots as to be expected. Fourth Dimension played in the backround, and her perfect brown hair bounced and swayed as she controlled the stage, and more importantly, the crowd. She's so raw and passionate, her little frame gives off a feeling of serenity more than anyone in the room can process. If you've never seen her live, DO IT. Words can't even express how overcame with joy I was.


Not my picture

I'm Back, but not Forever.

Wow... its been more than a month since I last posted. In some ways, I know no one reads my blog.. but I feel like I'm short-changing myself, if you know what I mean. I created this to pinpoint my current interests, and a lot has changed since I started. It's funny to see how much I've grown and learned.

I have no excuses, but I'm applying to 4 different highschools while juggling sports, guitar and friends. I've wanted to get back to posting, but I never got a push (or enough free time) too.

Despite this, I still can't guarantee I will be posting regularly. I want to evolve the style of my posts, and in the interrim they may become less frequent. Bear with me, I'm trying to find time. Please spread the word about my blog to your friends! It would be a little more encouraging to see.
