im in Demopolis Alabama. i couldnt pick a place i would rather be at this second. i could pick people i would want to be here, but im happy here. for the first time in what feels like a long time, im just contented. happy. peaceful.

no, no, it has NOTHING to do with the stunningly gorgeous guy that works here. maybe a little, but its like i forgot how to be me when i was in tennessee. sure, i was just different, but i forgot that i had this girl in me. this girl that can be pretty and peaceful and just happy alone doing whatever. theres a slight breeze but im in a tanktop for the first time in a while. and i dont have two pairs of socks on, and im happy.

there are a few differences between the aspen i am now and the one i was last time we were cruising. this one isnt heart broken anymore, she’s mending, this one is happy with herself, and this one, is listening to country music. the old one listened to rock turned up with headphones in ignoring the world, and she wouldnt have noticed how sweet the wind feels or how great the flag sounds. She wouldnt be happy like this, because she was too busy being mad at everything and every one.

oh, and this girl has two more amazing friends than the last one had.  im happy. just wanted y’all to know. now i guess i’ll post some more about the recent cruising.
