Summer continues to slowly progress

    I am finally on Summer break. Technically I've been on break for about 8 weeks. But now I can say I am officially on summer break.
    This summer has been one of the most productive summers I have ever had in my life. Besides that one time my grandparents bailed on my family and my mother had my brother and I do a whole bunch of little things like go to museums.
    Sometimes I don't know how I really feel about this summer. This summer started as exciting because I was going to stay in Oregon and take classes. But after those two weeks in Portland, I had never wanted to go home as much as I did then. I finally got a job after a week back in Eugene and felt like my life had some kind of purpose again. I have just finished my 4th class of the summer and yes, I am on break now.
    I have learned a lot. I feel something that people don't tell kids these days is to make time for yourself and to really stay in tuned to what your body is telling you. Your body and mind is the most valuable part of your entire life. Anything that has to do with jobs, schooling, and crying over lost friendships don't actually matter at the end of the day because you are the most important in your life.
     So this summer I've spent time with myself. I cooked for myself, I cleaned for myself, I forced myself to go out, I got a job for my mental being, and more. I feel like the most importnat thing that anyone can learn is to "date yourself first". If you don't even love yourself in the first place, how is anyone else going to love you too?

Cheers,
Claire
