HEY Y'ALL.  You probably were't expecting another one of these posts so soon, huh? :) To be quite honest, I ran into some of that dreaded blogger's block, and let me tell you, IT'S AWFUL.  Being a blogger is definitely not easy (but so worth it lol). So just because of all the things that come with summer and trying to come up with new blog content, I'm not going to be here next week.  But I'm hoping to be back the next week after that (the 26th to be precise), so yeah! Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up on that.  Even though this year I've been trying to stick to my schedule of posting on Wednesdays, I figured it's okay to take off a few times if I let y'all know in advance.  SO WAH LA.  Plus, not even going to lie, I need to get a life.  Yeah.

Hope you guys are having a wonderful week!! It's almost the middle of July, which obviously is insane, but we're not even going to go there.   Life is about enjoying the moments we're given, day by day, right?? :) What have you been loving lately? Inspiration? 

-autumn

And side note--Keep creating.  Keep pursuing what you love and don't give up.  It'll all be worth it one day.  And like that quote up there kinda says, even if you fall down seven times, rise up eighth :)) (prov. 24:16)

  2. Ahh I hate blogger's block. But if you ever feel disappointed, just rememebr that I had a block for 6 months in which I did not write a single post. :') If it helps, I'm in love with your photo posts. The sunset is my favourite - looks what a true sunset, you know? Like here in the Australian suburbs the colours are there but they're really muted. Glad we have technology to see vibrant views like this!

    1. Aaah yes thanks for that, Jo :) You're so kind. I feel like I have the creativity there, it's just not channeled in blog post format right now. THANK YOU, GIRL <3 Aaah really? I've always wanted to visit Australia. It seems like such a beautiful country. Technology does have its perks!

      And btw totally curious, do you have an Aussie accent? I literally just thought about that haha!

    1. haha I always forget that it probably seems like I take these pictures because I don't explain it in every post (because I've been doing these for so long) that these are like inspirational pics and an inspirational quote i find on the internet that I compile once a month on the blog. I started to do these bc I had soooo many Pinterest pics I wanted to share, but now I've quit Pinterest, so I use stock pictures :)
