Sometimes

Sometimes,

you have to go up to the canyon and have a bonfire with your best friends for no reason other than you have a box of extra firewood, graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows lying around and you need to get it out of your living room.

 

 

Sometimes,

you have to build a fort because life gets hard and you need blanket walls and mattress floors to protect you from work, school, sunlight, and home teachers who mercilessly remind you that you're single.

 

 

Sometimes,

your best friend finally comes home from 2 months in Europe and you're so giddy that you literally cannot help but take several ugly pictures of yourselves because you're so excited to be reunited at last.

 

 

Sometimes,

you have to throw your other best friend a late surprise birthday party.

You have to, because she was studying abroad during her birthday, and she had a rotten birthday, and she always goes all out to throw everyone else cutesey, thoughtful, fun, tastey parties and she just totally deserved it.

When this happens, it becomes absolutely necessary to have a Breakfast At Tiffany's theme because she loves Audrey Hepburn.

It also becomes necessary to annoy said best friend by dragging her from the aforementioned fort against her will and making her take you on a fake shopping trip that she doesn't even want to go on and preventing her from eating food she wants to eat because there's a party waiting for her at home and it's for her own good.

Sometimes there's no one there to take the picture and you have to photoshop Caroline in.

 

 

Sometimes,

your friend from high school whom you haven't seen in over a year drives 30 minutes to come visit you because he loves you and when that happens, you have to spend the day watching scary movies in your fort and going out for authentic Mexican food and getting locked out of your apartment, because really, is there any other way to celebrate seeing an old friend?

 

 

Sometimes,

you don't have time to blow dry AND straighten your hair before church, so for the first time in your life you attempt to do something you've always been too scared to do: blow dry your hair with a round brush. Sometimes, you just have to face your fears to find out that you can DO it! And it's gonna turn out OK! And there's nothing to be afraid of!

And sometimes,
you have to post a video from your childhood, partly out of nostalgia, and partly because it shares the name of your blog post.
