Late Night Thoughts

This is going to sound over the top, but whatever: I'm so lucky to have found someone who is not only the kindest and most thoughtful boyfriend but also the best friend I could ever ask for.

You really can't beat someone who makes you laugh every day, especially if he also happens to be super handsome and romantic - really, I won the boyfriend lottery over here. I am so lucky.

Also: I'm exhausted. I cannot sleep and I haven't even been napping lately (I wish I had!) so it's 3:30 in the morning & instead of curled up asleep I am writing a blog post from my iPhone and reading mindy kaling's book, trying to figure out when I got so old.

(ANSWER: last week, when I turned 26.)

Anyway, there is a point to all of this. I've spent 90% of my life focusing on the future instead of living in the present. I was never really, truly happy with my life & was always imagining the ways it would be better in a few years. But right now, in this moment - even with my super bad hair day and the fact that I want to cry from exhaustion - I wouldn't trade it.

For the first time ever, I feel like I'm exactly where I am supposed to be - I'm finally getting it right.


Although let's be honest, I still think about the future in a romanticized way - I can't wait to live in a land with no homework - I don't want to fast-forward through this, not anymore, and I think that's a pretty cool thing.
