There's a few things about my blog that you should know.
I go by Hopeless Romantic for many reasons, but I guess one of them would be to protect the innocent. I'm not afraid to say what I think, so that also might be another reason. Haha. So, if some person I know irl were to come here and read every single one of my entries, they probably wouldn't know it was me. That's also why I make nicknames up for people I blog about.
I'm probably a lot more different than what most people would expect someone my age to be. Sure, I love clothes and make up and I'm a huge sucker for boybands.
But, I've been told that I have an old soul (Google it). Who knows? Maybe I do, maybe I don't. But please, take me seriously. That is all I ask. I'm a girl who's never been in a relationship before, so I don't throw the word 'love' around like a hot potato.
But I'm bound to have many crushes on the way, so, please enjoy reading about my roller coaster of a life.

F.A.Q.

"Where are you from?"
The United States, in the western region of the country. I used to say 'mid-west', but just so you know, I didn't actually know what it meant, and I was using it wrong. Haha.

"Who do you think you are?"
Someone who's scared of everything and who hasn't completely figured out how to live yet.

"If you're so afraid of love, why are you so obsessed with it?"
I still haven't figured that out. But aren't we all?

2012. Interesting year, wasn't it? Brought me some changes, and some challenges. But don't they all?

Looking back on this year, there are some things that happened I'm very proud of. (Getting out of AP Literature alive, deciding on giving myself a very much needed break after HS before starting College, graduating High School in one piece, making a bank account, getting out of our old house, voting for the first time.)

There's also some things that happened that I'm still uneasy about, and things that sadden me a little. (Our family friend Uncle passing away, me finishing online school with no friends from that program, an Internet friend of mine passing away, my dad's one day incarceration in August, not being able to find a job.)

As I get older, I've tended to notice the negative things more. Why is that? I know things will never be perfect, they can't be. That's just how life is. But when I was a kid, I didn't notice as much. Or they didn't bother me as much. Why has that changed?

It shouldn't have to be that way. Really, it shouldn't. Is it really so hard to just be happy?

If I spend my present being sad, all I'll have to look back on is sadness. Sometimes, yeah, it can't be helped. Everyone has their off days. But what about when there's no reason to be sad? When life isn't flawless down to the last detail, but the little flaws are tolerable because there's all sorts of other wonderful things there that shouldn't be taken for granted?

In 2013, I pledge to be happy. Not every day, not every second of the day. But I will find one thing, just one, that will make me happy. Once a day. I'll make sure to laugh once a day, too.

Because those little things, like happiness, and health, and being able to laugh and listen to beautiful music and watch a wonderful movie and tell someone how much you care about them might be taken away in an instant. I'll try not to take anything for granted, because when you think about it--I mean really, truly, think about it--everything is a gift. I'll try to recognize that this year, and to hold everything I have dear.

I genuinely hope you guys will do the same.

Hello 2013. Please be good to me.

Really quick, sort of obligatory entry here, sorry guys. I know I've been off of here for a good month, but I promise I'll give a proper update on things soon! I have a lot to talk about.

I hope that all of you had an amazing holiday, and I wish you all a fabulous and bombastic 2013! (Ahahaha, I said bombastic. Snickering at myself.) I love you all!
