I'm hungry.

Good evening girls, it's Friday. It's raining. Hunter Hayes is playing on Spotify. I just finished the 5th day of work this week. I get to see the boy tomorrow, it's finally October, and I'm happy. Life has been freaking stressful lately but at the same time, it's been good. It's almost as if even though things are simultaneously piling up and falling down around me, I have a sense of peace that I can only attribute to our great God. He is marvelous.
Laura, I loved your post. It was beautiful. And I'm so so happy for you as I've said multiple times during our texting conversations. You are one of my top favorite people and I look up to you in every way except in the actual physical way because, let's be honest, we're both shortcakes. But that's okay.
Mercy and Rose. I'm disappointed in both of you. I would give you the most sincere of punishments except I'm lazy as I told Rosalita last night when she confided in me about not posting. Just know that I shake my head in shame at both of you.

So ladies, I've come to the conclusion that boys don't suck quite as much as my middle school self might have thought. Yes they can be rude, selfish, and the littlest s***'s on the planet, but then again, females can be the same way. I've come to decide that everyone needs to find happiness in their own way and if another human being can do that for you, why should you be ashamed of it? I understand that bragging or maybe even just talking too much can come across as annoying or overbearing which is why I keep things lowkey here on the internet (also I have trust issues with every creepy web user and I don't want to face any sort of breakup on the internet.) but I thought I did need to put it out there that a certain person of the male persuasion is making me happy and I'm not resenting the whole entire world anymore. Our dear friend Quincy who we all know and love a lot wrote on her amazing blog a good while ago about this in a much better way than I ever could. So here. Read. Enjoy. But basically, we tend to bash and shame relationships when posted about on social media. You know. You see those Instagram posts of the couple holding hands or the Facebook timeline posts and you roll your eyes, thinking of how disgustingly happy they must be. I do it. I mock every couple picture one of our friends posts (but mostly because it's all he posts.) but like, if he, as a 19 year old guy, has the guts to only post pictures of his girl, why shouldn't I be happy for them?
One of my favorite couples I know are constantly posting pictures of each other which are gorgeous and always have a ton of likes, but they also will post on each other's Facebook walls the sweetest notes or comments. Just to let the other one know that they're thinking about them. I hope that I can have that type of relationship someday. I guess what I'm saying is, my perspective has been changed. I know why it's changed and I know how it has changed but those things aren't necessarily important. I think in this media age, we should be promoting healthy relationships in a positive way on the huge platform we have access to. There are so many toxic relationships everywhere. I for one know a very good deal about that. There is also so much negativity everywhere on social media. It takes about one YouTube video to find hate. And one website can bring up a whole host of blog posts full of cruel comments. I get that this is ramble-y and maybe sorta rant-y.. It's almost midnight. What can I say? Healthy relationships are a good thing, if it's a romantic one or not. We should not be the sarcastic, cynical witches that we are, and hate on anyone's happiness.
Mercy, you might hate me for this post. You might roll your eyes in disgust and know that I've succumbed to one of "those girls" but if you do, realize that you didn't understand this post and count this as your punishment for not posting at all this week.
Can't wait to hear from possibly one of you, maybe more, next week <3 Grace
