Hello!
I know, I've sort of been MIA for a while (seven months!). I haven't really been updating my blog very much because so much has been going on in my life and I couldn't find the time or effort to put into keeping this blog alive. It's more work than it may seem to be, trust me. Anyways, let me explain why I have been gone for so long.
Well, I'll start back in April. In April, Eric and I decided to 'take a break' because we barely had time to talk to each other and also so I could work on myself (I'll get to that later in this post). Well, I am still grieving over all of that. Still. seven months later. I don't really know how to cope with it all or even how to grieve for it. He said that he doesn't love me anymore. That really tore me up inside. It kills me every single day. He is so beautiful. The emotional pain that I have to face every single day is unbearable.
I have struggled with anxiety and depression for pretty much most of my life. I have had my fair share of shrinks and prescriptions. My depression is extremely debilitating. It's an accomplishment just to get myself out of bed every morning. It feels like a million anchors tie me down. Yes, I still crack a smile, but I am dying inside behind that happy face.
I've been struggling more lately. I still can't accept the fact about what happened in April. Love is an indescribable thing because it is different for everyone, so I can't even begin to describe how hard this has hit me.Everything that I have had to go through throughout my entire life has all been piling up and this takes the cake. I am honestly so lost and sad all the time.I can't stand the sadness, but it is my best friend. Sadness is all that I've really known. Sadness, pain, rejection, abandonment: my everyday struggle. I don't know what I can say to make anyone understand how I feel inside. I am always filling my head with scenarios or events that won't happen or aren't even true just to worry myself even more. I can't sleep at night because so many thoughts race through my head and I worry and panic and cry.
I've basically been struggling with all of this the past seven months. Everything sort of went downhill for me due to a friend that had an extremely negative influence on me, but I was too dull to realize it before it was too late. I am still trying to recover. I have my good and bad days, just like anyone else. To me, this depression and anxiety is something no medicine or doctor can fix. It's something I have to figure out myself. I personally haven't benefited from any sort of therapy or pill. I need to be at peace with myself and accept things how they are. It's just extremely difficult for me to have peace when I cannot accept things how they are. I think I may post weekly updates of how I am doing, mentally, and sort of make a log of my journey to attempting to recover, and I hope that all of you will stick with me to help me through this. It truly means so much to me.
Thank you so much.

) We did stop for a little bit and looked at some of the waterfalls, which was one of my most favorite things from the trip!
It's always nice to have a little getaway and be surrounded by nature, even if it is for a little while...
I *might* be going on another vacation in April as well, but it's not definite yet!
Beanies are perfect for cold days, or even making a dressier outfit more casual. One thing that Is my absolute favorite for any outfit is this faux leather jacket! It's great to use as a light jacket for going out, or even to keep warm by layering with a thick comfy sweater.❤ Some people probably think that I'm crazy for wearing a skirt in the winter time, (it was 10 degrees [F] today) but even I love wearing dresses, cold weather or not! 
One trick to wearing dresses during the winter months and staying warm is layering, layering, layering! Whether you are layering tops, jackets, cardigans, or tights, it's always good to remember to keep warm! Something that I like to do is layer tights and socks! Here I layered these distressed tights with some baggy over the knee socks. All that I did to get this look was instead of having the socks pulled up over my knees, I left them all scrunched up by my ankles! This look is really cute and is a great alternative to leg warmers. (It keeps you warm too!) Lastly, if you live in a place that gets a lot of snow like I do, then I highly suggest wearing platform shoes because they keep your feet from getting wet and out of the snow!
