monday night vibes.

Sometimes all you need is a pretty lantern for your candle and a good vinyl. I literally just posted that as a caption on a video I posted on instagram but I stand by it.

three years.

Three years ago, I made a promise to myself. A promise that I vowed I would never break from that day forward. I promised myself that though I will experience bad days and tough times, I would not allow the weight of living to bring me down. I promised myself that no matter how weak or alone I felt, I would not succumb to the demands of self hate.

Hey June!

Hello my lovely readers, I apologize for the lack of love I have given you as of lately. Life has definitely been an interesting ride recently, so much has happened which leaves me as a big bowl of emotion. I closed my eyes for what felt like a minute or two and opened them to find that it was June. It’s insane how fast this year is already going by, as of today we’re halfway done. With that being said, if you care to give this recap a gander, here’s what I’ve been up to.

March and April Recaps

When I first attempted to write this post, I was really excited because for one, it's been almost two months since my last post which meant this was going to be a pretty good recap and two I was really happy with my life and everyone in it. In the span of three days, so much has changed. I am the complete opposite of happy and writing a recap would hurt too much for the fact that I have to reminisce of happier days but I guess I should try.

Febraury Recaps

Hey guys, tonight is just going to be a small recap of what's been going on for the past few weeks. So if you care to give this a gander, this is what I've been up to...

Self Harm Awarness Day 2014

Life is very difficult. There will be no sugar coating here because the fact of the matter is, yes, there are many obstacles to overcome; some will make you cry in defeat and others you will overcome in triumph. However, finding the best way to overcome those battles without giving in to the toxic things will more than likely be the hardest battle of them all.

Biography of Heartbreak

“It feels like somebody took my heart and dropped it into a bucket of boiling tears and at the same time, somebody else is hitting my soul in the crotch with a frozen sledgehammer. And then a third guy walks in and starts punching me in the grief bone. And I am crying but nobody can hear me because I am terribly, terribly, terribly alone.”- Michael Scott, The Office

The Simplicity of a Not So Simple Alicia.

 I like to think of myself as a simple gal.

I don't ask for much, nor do I desire it.

Music Therapy

In this life, bad days are inevitable. No matter who you are or what you’ve accomplished, you will face a bad day, week, month or even year and it will, for lack of a better word, suck. Life can be hard sometimes (bring on the clichés, right?) though we might be smiling on the outside no one really knows how we’re feeling on the inside.

It's just a bad day not a bad life.

"It's just a bad day, not a bad life". I often come across this quote on Tumblr or Twitter and it has always been one that's stuck with me, for obvious reasons. I was told that it comes from a song called Reverse by Robbie Williams however I have not actually taken the time to look up how true that is. Nonetheless, kudos to whoever put those words together because it's something we all need to remember.

Stitches, Piercings and Cosplay; Goodbye January!

Seeing as January is just about finished and February is just around the corner, I figured I would do a small recap. Because my life is oh so interesting, she said sarcastically. I'm sure by now you're all probably used to me not writing as much and I apologize for that however this time, I am actually working on a piece that I am really excited about publishing. I just have a few more ends to tie then it'll be ready! In the mean time here is what I've been up to this month.

A late goodbye and an even later hello-pt 2

A year ago, I sat here with the realization that though it was already 2013, I never wrote my goodbye to 2012. Tonight, I sit here with the same realization that I have yet to say goodbye to 2013. So if you care to give this a gander, here is my farewell/ recap of 2013.

In 2013 I...

Motivational Music Monday: Begin Again

I closed my eyes to take a  breather for what seemed like a minute or two and opened them to November. It's a bit ridiculous how fast this year has been flying by, it literally feels like a month ago I was writing my hello to 2013 post. I haven't actually been as inspired as I was in the beginning of the year but of course if you've read my last few posts here, you already know that.

Recapping on Concerts and Life

Hi guys, it's been forever and I apologize for that. I thought I should share with you what's been going on the past week weeks/months. So if you're still interested in reading what I have to write, I think I'll start with August because I really haven't gone into detail about life or concerts so this is just going to be a recap of what I've failed to write about. So let's get to it! :)

Therapeutic Writing on a Bad Day.

You know how people say when you get one piece of bad news it shouldn't affect the rest of your day because your day is what you make of it and if you make it awful then it will be awful but really no one has bad days? Not only was that a run on sentence but it's also not that true.

Recapin' on a White Blank Page

Hey guys, just a small recap today.

Inspiration Creeps at Night.

A couple of nights ago, I woke up at three o'clock in the morning and from that moment I was wide awake. Now most of the time I hate when that happens because obviously when I finally manage to fall asleep, it's time to participate for the day but this time was different.

School.

It's that time again.

If you're wondering how a 22 year old chick has so much acne on her face at the moment, hopefully this post clears that up for ya, no pun intended. Seriously though, stress makes me break out like no tomorrow.

Turns out, I forget things; recap.

Hey guys and gals, it's been awhile. Today is just going to be another recap so here it goes...

Reasons Not to Check Your Email, Vol.1

A few days ago, whilst checking my email, a message with the subject "friendly advice" popped up.

It stated the following:
