As I’ve mentioned previously, March was one HELL of a month for me on my end (and my poor family was taken for a loop due to it, too). So we all kind of jumped on the chance to get away for the weekend to celebrate both Easter and my Dad’s birthday. We ventured up the coast to Santa Barbara, where we had a great time just walking around their Main Street, shopping and wine tasting, and spending time together as a family – away from all the crazy that’s going on back home.
I think, when you’re going through heartbreak, you can justify almost any purchase. I was tempted to pick up a new iPhone (which my Dad talked me out of), but I DID pick up these new round Ray Bans with a lilac mirror lens and I’m OBSESSED. I keep referring to them as my #breakuppurchase and every time my Dad sees them, he says that they make him happy, which is good enough for me.

 

After everything though, I just need to keep reminding myself that I am enough. I’ve had so many people reach out with positive thoughts and funny pictures and happy vibes – and it’s all been so helpful. But I’ve found that the most cathartic thing has been the ability to write down all my thoughts (I’ve already filled up an entire journal) and just take everything that is going on inside my head and put it down on paper. I literally feel like my entire body/mind/soul is in the middle of a giant explosion and I’ve actually never felt this sad in my entire life, so the more outlets to get this crap out there into the universe and out of ME is the best thing possible.
Just gotta remember:
