The september note.
Hey, hi, hello,
You know the go by now, but I will never not say some variation of this line. I hope August treated you well. I have a little section of my planner where I write about any event or happening that stood out to me. Now that I think of it these may also be a part of my buzzing thoughts as well. For most of them I create a simple line that I can share with you guys, for some they are raw, completely exposed wanderings of TheBdrops mind.. So September's note is a compilation from my weekly planner, yes you are so lucky aren’t you.
Enjoy!

I hope I’m remembered fondly. Life is weird, how is the middle ground between family and experiencing what your life’s potential formed or found? I feel an insane amount of guilt from time to time. What about you? (yeah this one is an over exposed one, bc I KNOW that I’m not the only one. Or at the very least I plead that I am NOT… anyway.

There’s no time like the moment you’re in. Sometimes we get caught in the whirl wind of wants, past moments, even the darn what if’s crowd the mind.
Aug 24:
Making things manually is so fun, bring it back honestly.
And that’s where we’re at, today is Wednesday and I do not summarise my weeks at half way. On that last one though, making things manually. This year I made birthday invites on Canva in a collage style and wow, while that’s not completely manual, it was actually so fun! Also, a little nerveracking, because I didn't know how they’d be received, like what the reaction would be. I’ve never had birthday invitations, so I thought what the heck, there’s no better time than for your 25th lap to have a first. Let that be the first of many firsts. I enjoyed the process so much that I made some for my brother's birthday, which is a week after mine. Now, my latest sidequest has been making my dad a ‘mixtape’ (it’s a burnt CD) of all the songs he currently likes, and ones that my siblings and I grew up hearing boom out of my dad’s garage. These smaller tasks have been fun to commit my time to. Fun fact, I’ve been over two years sober now, the transition from adolescent to adult is truly something else. I’m glad I've had the opportunity to meet so many great people and grow through my experiences. It’s not something I usually talk about (and I talk a lot), but I felt so uncomfortable for an unbearable amount of time.
So thanks for sticking around.
