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?

This is SUPER late (as are all of my other holiday things this year, including my cards...what do you mean Christmas has already ended?? Are you sure?? It can't be!!) so my apologies for that.

But I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, and that 2015 will be lovely to each and every one of you.

2014 was a difficult year on one hand, but on the other hand, I made some pretty big accomplishments, school being one of them. If there's nothing else I'm proud of myself for from 2014, it's going back to school.

I'm also quite proud of myself for putting on my brave pants and going on 2 dates, which was 2 more than in 2013 or 2012, hahaha. So yes, big accomplishment for me as well!

And I'm proud of myself for getting my sense of style together and gaining (just a little bit) more confidence than I had in 2013. I attribute this to some positive lifestyle changes lately (moving into a quieter environment, dieting during the summer and exercising regularly, going back to a regular social environment i.e. school). All of them together made me feel less like an alien, less like some recluse that had no life at all. I feel more normal now, and much less anxious and sad than I used to be. And that is such a big accomplishment in itself that I couldn't ask for more, tbh.

But for 2015, these are my resolutions:

1. Get a part time job. This is the biggest next step for me. I'd definitely want it to be part time, so that I could balance everything else, but having my own money (besides having give or take about 20 bucks normally) would just be...INDESCRIBABLE. I think at this point in my life, it would make things a lot easier for me. I'd have money to buy things for school, and just regular everyday things that I need, and wouldn't have to rely on other people for them (which I hate). I want to get this accomplished for sure.
2. Continue part time school to the best of my ability. A part time school schedule has been working so well for me, so I'm going to continue that. Also, I won't try to be perfect at it and worry about being perfect, I'm just going to do my best.
3. Continue to take good care of myself, including what I've been doing with my new skincare routine, my hair care routine (of course), and as soon as spring comes, eating better again for the warmer months and exercise regularly again. It worked so well for me last summer that I'd like to do it again this year! 

Hopefully these things combined will help me build even more self confidence in the new year. May 2015 be the Year of Confidence for me and for all of you guys!
