an honest self-reflection

Heads up: this is going to be a stream of consciousness, but I need to work something out.

October & Ramblings
Happy October friends! This month is so wonderful! Normally Texas actually begins to transition into fall, there’s pumpkin carving, and Halloween! 🙂 I just finished breakfast and now I’m actually drinking a cup of coffee at home because I woke up 30 minutes before my alarm. I could be taking this time to study for Continue reading
