LOLWKASF
I have taken to saying "lol" as of late in texting and whatnot.
But I have a confession to make.
When I say "lol", ninety-nine percent of the time, I'm sitting there without so much as cracking a smile. And I can guarantee you that as much as people say it, probably the majority of the time, that's the situation with them too.
Then why do we say it if we don't mean it (ninety-nine percent of the time)?
I think there are two main reasons why people say lol when they don't mean it.
1. Because it makes almost anything sound less serious.
"Lol I hate you"
"Lol my cat died"
"Lol that was soo stupid"
2. Because it takes up space when you have nothing to say.
"Haha yeah, so I was like eating a sandwich the other day and it was good lol!"
"Oooh lol that's cool"
If we were all truly honest, almost all we'd ever say is lolwkasf.
Laughing out loud while keeping a straight face.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.

I know what I did
It's been a really long time since I just posted some pictures from fun stuff I've been doing!
I volunteered!
I wrote, doodled, and goofed off a LOT.
I had bunches of fun with all my friends...who are all amazing and I love them! <3 (rabbit trail)
I got a haircut! :)
Since I got a new camera in November, I've gotten back into photography and this was one of the first sunsets I shot with my new camera.
I guess y'all prolly all thought that my life has just been boring, huh?
Well...the word "NO" just isn't NO enough to say how wrong that is.
Here's a mishmash photography post that can hopefully journal a LITTLE bit.
And boy was it gorgeous...the sunsets are always beautiful here but this one was particularly breathtaking.
I tested the waters of portrait photography! I suppose you could say this is a sneak peek at Geoffrey's senior pictures? Although this one is more of a blooper. ;)
We looked at old pictures and found some gems...yup, that's my dad!
So yeah! That's what's been going on! Add in some Ultimate Frisbee, music, and lots of school, and you have my life!

Remembering Sara
Today is my cousin Sara's birthday. It's her Sweet 16! Special day, right?
She would be so gorgeous, with her china doll complexion and sparkling, mischievous eyes.
She would be so sweet - but she would know how to keep her brothers in check!
She would be her mama's helper and her daddy's girl!
All the boys would be falling over themselves to be the one she's got her eye on - if they could get through her daddy, that is.
Her love for God would shine through in everything she does. God truly made something special when he created Sara.
Which I guess is why she's celebrating with Jesus today.
I miss her so much...last night I was thinking about what it would be like if she was still here. She wasn't just my cousin, she was my best friend. I remember all the letters and pictures we sent back and forth, talking about all our important matters of business, sending each other carefully colored hearts, and in her case, diagrams of the solar system.
I remember us pretending to dive off the side of a bridge into a little creek in North Carolina, and I remember that she didn't recognize me after I had gotten a haircut.
What would she think of all of my teenage dramas?
How many secrets, tears, prayers, and giggles would we have shared?
I miss her, and it's wrong that she's not here, but one day I'll have plenty of time to catch up with her.
Happy birthday Sara! <3
