During high school, I had friends from all different types of cliques. I thought it was cool to have all these different...
Hey, I can't believe it's been two months since I've written a diary/ramble type of post. It's funny because I've always found that when I have writer's block, these are the easiest posts to write. I think, since I've started posting only once a week, I feel like the weeks have been going quicker, and I just don't know if...

This past week has been quite self-reflective. Growing up I was always petite and small. It wasn't until I was in around high school, that I started to feel self-conscious about my weight.
