July 13, 2015. My Summer Bucket List. For the past month and a half, my summer has felt aimless, short-sighted, and as somewhat wasted. I’ve spent a lot of time binge watching. This one was actually inspired by Jenn’s July goal. 2 Visit the ocean. Even though it seems as if every summer I’m dying to go to the ocean, I haven’t been in two or three years, and that’s unacceptable.

I let myself have that time to fall apart because if I don’t, I can’t get back into working at all. Without time to feel sad, I don’t really get over it, and the doubt and disappointment only linger in the back of my mind as I stare at my laptop with little show. However, none of this means that I.
