Court: Can I come to Park City for New Year's????? :)
Me: I don't think I'll be around, and I doubt Rebecca will like that choice.
Court: awww I'm thinking about driving up the Cal coast to visit some family in Oregon. Was gonna pass through Park on the way home.
Me: You having another life crisis?
Court: eh no. Just need to escape.
Me: You say that a lot. I thought you were doing something with Jayme and John.
Court: eh, yea, idk. We'll see. They wanna do Hawaii
Me: That would be a fun New Year's. I think I'm going to Hawaii this spring. A friend of mine has a timeshare.
Court: Nice. :) I kinda always thought I would see HI with you.
Me: Yeah, I did too. But then again, I thought a lot of things.
Court: Maybe Oregon in February cause of the Newport thing.
Me: Yeah, I hear there is a really good festival then.
Court: I wanna go!
Me: You should
Court: I don't like my life anymore. I don't wanna go to that without you, it would break my heart just to fake that I enjoy it with someone else. Makes me nauseous. It'd be better going alone cause I could pretend you are there.
Me: Courtney. You chose to have this life. I don't know what to say.
Court: Don't say anything. I'm just being a bitch. I know it's my fault.
Me: Okay.
Court: Alright, I'm gonna go to bed. It's a win that I even got to talk to you.
Me: Goodnight.
Court: Goodnight Jessie

the secret to world peace.
When you’re young you’re obsessed with the idea of your first kiss. You fantasize about the moment your lips first touch someone else’s. You watch scenes in movies imagining the moment when you find yourself alone with someone else and words won’t cut it anymore and if you don’t connect all the emotion building up inside of you will make you explode. You dream of...

roughing it.
Today I have traveled 17 hours, been in 6 different states, flown 2,105 miles, driven 384 miles, changed 1 flat tire, and walked a half mile in drizzling rain to finally arrive at the Tetons Science School to join my 27 sixth through ninth graders for a week long field trip to explore The Grand Tetons. I walked down the gravel pathway that led through the campus revealed to not be sitting and...

Selfless happiness.
It’s been a long time since I’ve really missed home. But I find that as I leave New Hampshire this time, I’m reluctant to go. I was able to have a quintessential New England weekend filled with colorful foliage lined highways, street fairs and small town parades, apple picking, and kayaking; I was able to see all of my friends at their very best causing me to fall in love with...
