Dear July,
Today is just what I needed. Spent the day with my cousin, got my nails done. We also got some food and drinks. We're spending the night watching the second season of the OITNB. Tomorrow we're going to the beach with our family in New Jersey, should be fun times! After a couple of days of feeling down, I'm happy to have family to boost my spirits.
Song of the day:

Dear July,
Looking forward to the future is better than thinking about the past most times. I am easy to spend too much time reminiscing on good times of the past as well as dwelling on what I could have changed to make things better. That's such a waste of time.
Like John Green writes in TFIOS "What a slut time is. She screws everybody."
Instead of spending time planning new adventures, it is so easy to just sit and think about doing them instead of doing. Time to follow the motto: Less want, more do. Time to let what is be what it is. Time to find the good in every act.
July, I don't know what this post has turned into. A bunch of cliches but that's what I'm feeling like recently apparently. Weird mood= weird sentences.

Dear July,
Today was a day of many thoughts. Mainly, it proved that it is too easy to lie but that does not mean one should still do so. In the end, who does that lie help? It just ends up driving you crazy and corrupting all your thoughts for the day. One of my resolutions of the year was no regrets so what's done is done but I still do ask myself: why I do certain things that are not helping me grow in any way? My thoughts feel like a bird trying to a escape out of a cage. I want to be free of negativity so therefore it is time to stop doing things that make me feel like I am locked up in a cage of my own making.

Dear July,
Today was a day of errands. Having the day off in the middle of the week is something I love and definitely take advantage by getting some more hours of sleep and getting things done that needed to be done. I went grocery shopping and cleaned my aunt's house and then went to the library! I returned some books and picked up the books that were on hold. I need to reorder some because I didn't get to them. So many books, so little time! I watched the Netherlands vs. Argentina game with my cousins and gosh that defense was crazy and I am so happy that Argentina is in the finals. I can imagine that my host mom is ecstatic! (I stayed with a family in Chile and they are originally from Argentina!) Time to finish off the week and see what this weekend brings!

Dear July,
Today has been quite busy at work. I went outside on my lunch break and it's quite warm in NYC today. It's finally starting to feel like summer.
I've had some internet things on my mind since last night, mainly this obsession with Youtube celebrity culture since it's been mentioned a lot since Vidcon happened. Youtube is something I care a lot about and I've made some lovely friends because of it. So while I know about how big it's becoming in certain aspects, I still like my little corner of Youtube, where I get to talk to my friends from all over the world and just gush about books and music and media in general. I think it's easy to let the hype affect you because you see the numbers and some deep part of all of us wants more views but I think I've met the right kind of people that care more about the community they're building and the connections being made.
One of the reasons I'm happy to be so connected on all social media is because I feel like so much is happening on the interwebs just this week! Today, Landline by Rainbow Rowell comes out and so did Four by Veronica Roth! Woo book birthdays! I am planning on going to the event at Barnes and Noble and hope to meet Lady Rainbow which will be great after all this talking on twitter.
Something else happening on the interwebs just today: Queen JK Rowling released a story as Rita Skeeter of the characters we know and love all grown up at the Quidditch World Cup. I read it and smiled the entire time. It's great to see a little more from the wizarding world!
Lastly, this week is Body Confidence Week 2.0! All of the positive posts are my favorite. Starting off the year with this project gave me such a boost in January so it's great that it's back half way through the year. Feel free to join on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and use the #bodyconfidenceweek2014

Dear July : 7
Dear July,
I am determined to read whenever I have any free time today. I'm about to finish my 50th book of the year which is crazy but I have not finished any book in this month yet and it's been a week today!
This month is flying by. I have so much I want to do so I need to make an actual plan instead of just thinking about things. Time to act on my desires, both book and adventure ones!
