You tell me im beautiful.

You hold my hand when im scared. 

You’re my shoulder to lean on.

You never leave my side. 

You make me smile for no reason.

You hug me for what seems like hours. 

When you touch me I get butterflies. 

You’re blue eyes and blonde hair make me melt. 

You’re all I think about. 

First part of my summer trip started in Orange County visiting my grandma and aunt and cousin. It was a very relaxing time and much needed family time. She took me to my family beach, Huntington Beach, where I have spent numerous times growing up. We walked the pier and went to Wahoos fish tacos, so delicious! We went out to each a lot and she insisted she buy me a drink because she has never bought me an “adult drink.” haha it was great.
Now I’m in North Hollywood and spent the morning with my cousin in wife which was so wonderful. They are an awesome couple and they made me feel so welcomed. Now I’m at my friends place where I now live with two musicians and a model. It’s so crazy but fun.
Our adventure today was epic. We decided while waiting around to walk to the North Hollywood Park. Once we arrived we experienced something that was one of a kind. It first started with a group of guys playing flag football. Then two men slacklining ( where they walk on a rope tied between two trees). And this park also has a huge dirt track around the whole thing and an area with a ton of workout machine that were all being used. A party bus off in the distance filled with a group of kids going to prom and one couple was at a nearby trash can, where the guy was throwing up an the girl was patiently waiting a few feet from it in her sparkle dress. Ha. There were a ton of dogs chasing squirrels. And last but not least there was a group of older mean and women and or little boy, like 2.. Playing that game L.A.I.R.E. it’s a live action role playing game. They all had swords and shields and random weapons like the ball on a chain thing you swing. It was very entertaining and of course my friends decided it would be funny to ask to play. Once they asked the guy said they were playing capture the flag and they were maxed out. Haha epic fail. I think it as because my friends didn’t wear mascara and carry weapons but whatever. This park was crazy funny and something you can only find in LA. Let’s just say my trip here has started off to a great start. Oh and we walked by a Mason temple, and “security” guy told us to come back later when it’s open because they “got a smoke room and you drink whiskey up in the top floor” he was super sketch and did not look like security. Well here’s to my favorite city !

Cheers to the freakin weekend!

Ps. Just found out my model friend dated one of Emma Stones friend and has met her numerous time. Yet again, My friends are way cooler than me.

As my summer begins officially tomorrow, I am done with school, I am done teaching and I can now relax. I feel like my life has been going a mile a minute lately and all I ask for is a moment of silence. Over the course of these past few weeks of teaching I have learned so much. It is better to be there teacher rather than their friend. There is that fine line you have to learn to not cross. My students have also taught so many other things. Like ways to love others, be humble, and life is just life so have fun and dont stress about it. I love those kids and Im going to miss them so much. 

I have exactly 4 days till I leave for West Coast. A part of me is ready and excited to see my family and friends and go to the beach, and the fact that my favorite city is LA. But I honestly am not ready. I have so much to do and because I have been so busy lately, I have been a horrible friend to some. Sad to say, the ones I really have not seen in awhile, are the ones that either dont reach out or the ones that bring me down in life. I have learned to not hang out with the ones who cause you to be the person you dont want to be. And those are the ones I have not made time for. I still care for them and if I had more time I would try a little harder. But going to bed at 10 every night and up at 6 can take a toll on you. 

Im learning to find the ones that make me a better person to be the ones I spend time with and as much as I hate not being able to see everyone, and make the ones hurting feel better, I just cant do it anymore. My heart wants to be with all these people but my body is just tired. I pray and hope these individuals will forgive me and stop being so rude and making me feel bad for not making time, but maybe they need to realize why this is happening and the reason you get so angry. I dunno, I guess I need to remember that tomorrow is always a new day and not everyone will like you. 

So for now I will focus on whats important in life and not all the crazy stuff going on. Like the fact that the one person in the world that I would never want to live in my state of NC is moving 2 hours away in august. This should be interesting. 

XOXO- J

In some parts of the country, it’s getting hot. Fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk hot. Slip ‘n Slide hot. Charlotte, North Carolina, is once such place, and here’s what you should wear if you’re bopping around the Hornet’s Nest today. —erica
