I'll be home for Christmas.
On any other day Lara would have enjoyed watching the snowflakes fall from the sky. Especially since it meant a white Christmas. But today was the absolute worst day for it. It wasn’t even suppose to snow today, but she should have known better than to try driving the mountain pass on Christmas Eve.

My 2024 Playlist . Top Story - December 2024.
The year is wrapped in a cloudy layer of memory fog. Where the beginning of the year seems like a distant reality. If anything I see the future a lot more clearly. That being said, I find that I struggle to remember a lot of things because I am shifting; I am transforming. A few months ago, I had the realization that I was not who I wanted to be and I was falling into repetitive cycles of trauma and depression. Ultimately, I was sick of it. I had to make it feel better. And If I was going to grow then I needed to look at what I had been doing, accept that the past served me, but no longer does and move on to what I wanted to become. And even with the year coming to a close, I am not done this change. In fact it is only the beginning. However, I understand that the past plays a significant role in who we become, and since I believe this to be true, than perhaps we can live through it again in the songs I listened too over and over again.

I don't like My Body
If you were to ask any person on the street about their body, I am sure that at some point in time they have had an issue with it. And a grand majority of people still do. With the new wave of filters, diet hacks and tips to loss weight, body image is still a point of fascination within our society. Well we may have many advocates for plus sizes, different body types and disease/ illness awareness; there is still a heavy drive towards being the best version of oneself and often this best version is still thin.
