Senior prom was yesterday, and now it's starting to hit me how little time I have left. Like, less than 30 days of school left... I'm going to miss these people I've been with for the last 6 years so much. But I also had an amazing time being with the people I love the most at this prom and I'm so glad I was able to make more memories (and take these amazing pictures) with them.  As of now, I'm currently not on any socials, so I don't have anywhere to post these pictures (other than this site of course), but I'm kind of glad. It takes the pressure off - the pressure to perform and be as pretty as everyone expects me to be - and I can just live in the moment. But lots of moments I felt last night (prom night) were moments that others were trying to capture to show to the world on their socials, and then there was me, one of the only people at my school who doesn't have social media. I had a great time just living, and while none of my friends would admit ...

This week, my best friend since kindergarten - Annabelle - came out on her spring break to visit me on Oahu. It was one of the best weeks of my life, and I loved getting to spend one-on-one time with her because we don't get very much of that since we live an ocean and continent apart. I had a blast being her tour guide of the island this week and especially loved getting to merge my two worlds together - my life here and the life I have with Annabelle.  We went to North Shore, drove through Kaneohe and Kailua, hiked to waterfalls, went to senior prom, swam a LOT in the ocean, and ate so many acai bowls. Living my best island life with my bestie :D  I love you so much Annabelle. I can't believe we've come so far and stuck together. I hope you know I will always be here for you, and I'm so excited for all God has in store for you - and us - this summer, during college, and beyond.
