There’s a phrase that many people use when they are extremely happy. They say, “That person is high on life!” In the past couple of months, I’ve experienced that feeling. The exceedingly joyous one, where I can’t keep a smile off my face as I think of the great things God’s allowed me to experience these past few months. The first time was after 100 Days (an event my university holds to commemorate 100 days to graduation for the seniors), and the second time was this past weekend, getting to experience Soul Night for the first time, and as a performer. I’ve always heard and talked jokingly about being extremely content with how situations turn out in life, yet it sure was different – and so much more fulfilling – to actually encounter those emotions in a concentrated and impacting way after the events took place in my life.

Photography
Taking a look at photos taken by various people on travels around the globe, I just can’t help dropping a quick note here and vocalizing the same sentiment subconsciously riddled through the visual masterpieces: travel is unparalleled. I’m so blessed that I can count it as one of my favorite things to do (or, I will very soon! But travel through photographs is the name of my game, currently) and that I enjoy it to the fullest. I can’t wait to see even more of the world!

Parisiannights no longer exists! Welcome to my half-new (only in title, really) blog: simplechara.wordpress.com.
More to come later on what my new blog name means to me. Off to enjoy spring break (winter break, pt. 2 for Rice students)!
2.22
Today is my 20th birthday. It still feels weird to say that, to have a number that begins with a 2. This might be the first birthday I can remember where I actually feel different. Maybe it’s just that this is unexplored territory. I still feel like saying I’m 19 when people ask my age. But overall, I’m so incredibly grateful for another new year of life. That’s the ultimate blessing.
Below are photos from the past three birthdays when I’ve celebrated with friends from school. This is the first year since high school that I get to celebrate with friends and family on my actual birthday!
Lots of love to all those who share February birthdays.
Pull and Push
February here in Houston has been absolutely beautiful so far, and one that I’m so very blessed to witness everyday. As I draw closer and closer to my spring break (read: winter break, part II) and consequently my birthday, I’ve been reflecting on this past year of my life, on the end of my teens, and what this new decade will bring. I don’t know what I feel yet about turning 20…(the taste of the word “twenty” still feels weird in my mouth) but I do know that I’m incredibly grateful for another year of life, and to be delving into a new stage, so to speak.
