Life is crazy.

Who would have thought that I would end up having pink hair?
Who would have thought me and my best friend would go to class together through the entire schooling experience?
Who would have thought my once so loved idols wouldn't be my main interest in a matter of few days?
Who would have thought my first F wouldn't mean a thing in high school?
Who would have thought I would end up wanting to be an ad designer?
Who would have thought the need to live in LA once so consuming would fade away within years?
Who would have thought my goals would change so drastically?

Everything's changed so much. People came into my life and left it. There were things happening both so sad and happy. There were dreams come true and the biggest disappointments. And I still don't know what's waiting on me around the corner.

This post is inspired by one of my best friends which I've known for 9 years. We became friends in junior high and now are still going to class together in high school. Over the years we became almost inseparable and today while hanging out in my room we decided to look through my old notebooks in which my primary school classmates wrote little notes for me. Her's said "I hope once we go our seperate ways you won't forget about me" We weren't even best frinds at the time, we thought we would go to different schools. It was in primary school. We had different goals, problems, life values and ideas of our future. And now we barely remember the day this note was written. We are in a completly different place in life, best friends, high school classmates chillin in my room reading something once so relevant... in primary school. Life is a mistery, you never know how it's going to be. So just fasten your seat belt and go with it. It's worth to see what will happen next.

Another poem.

AUTUMN.

The wind sweeping me off my feet

The scent so soft and me so petite

Another year, another day

The season changing everywhere

The leaves once so green, now go into red

My thoughts once so free, and now tangled instead

The weather is changing and so am I

That's why the seasons both go and come

~Alexa

I wrote a poem?

SCHOOL.

Step by step

Heavier chest

Fear in eyes

Grey the skies

Open doors

Teacher shows

Lesson time

Not so fun

Harsh words

Saddest thoughts

Meet dead line

Never cry

Barely sleep

Faster eat

Get grade A

All again.

Rainy days, smiley face

I went a little crazy with the buttons etc. haha

As you can probably tell fall is pretty official now. Leaves have gotten in touch with the ground and the air is filled with rain scent. Surprisingly I've been really missing the season, so it's great for it to finally appear. I can't wait to throw a halloween party, watch movies cuddled up in blankets and sing along to christmas songs (still pretty early to do so but fall is definitely more appropriate than summer). This time of year always reminds me of comfort and coziness, and is a very joyful period of the year overall, so I'm thrilled to see it at it's best from outside my window (can't leave the blankets alone duh). Maybe tomorrow I'll convince someone to go for a walk and hot coffee with me, because that's really the best you could do with the yellow and brown tree crowns.

High school

Junior high is no longer, I'm officially a freshman in high school and so far it's been a great experience. I absolutely love my class and the vibe of the school I chose. It's how I imagined it to be, perfectly balanced. I have a livable amount of work and somewhat of a free time. Livin the dream hahaha Hopefully things stay as great as they are :) Also can we please take a second to appreciate the double rainbow I captured on the picture above? AWESOME. Soon after I took the picture the entire sky turned pink and looked like cotton candy. Let's just say my snapachat story was extremely long! But hey a 100 seconds never hurt anybody every once in a while. Especially since the timer got removed :P

Till the next time, yo girl Lexa!

Healthy diet - what's such a thing?

Lately everyone seems to be taking part in the entire "healthy lifestyle" craze. New gyms and eco markets constantly appear on the streets because there's a huge need for their services. Juicing is getting more popular and the term "health freak" has change it's definiton from an invective to a desired nickname. I get it. We live in the century where instagram theme and visual appearnace are mistaken with man's worth. We all wana belong and be considered beautiful, examplary but that does not excuse our actions. Yep I know that the need of belonging is indeed natural, and is one of the higher needs in Maslow's pyramid. BUT the fundament of the pyramid are physical needs such as hunger. So how should we satisfy them? However we please. Both eating oatmeal and pizza for breakfast is okay. Sure you need to have a BALANCED diet and provide all the necessity substances and minerals to your body, but let's not make such a big of a deal out of a slice of pizza. Healthy diet (imo) is a diet where you're in charge and you feel comfortable with whatever you eat. Healthy diet is when you don't feel guily after treating yourself with a pizza, but you also enjoy fruit and veggies every once in a while. Healthy diet is when you have positive relationship with food and what you eat doesn't affect your mental health in any negative way. If eating all clean and raw makes you happy, feel good and energized go ahead. If you feel good living that perfect "healthy lifestyle" it's great. I'm not saying it's not and I'm not promoting obesity. Simply what I am saying is eat whatever you like, treat yourself and remember that food is supposed to be a pleasure not the source of stress (you probably have enough of that already). So just make things balance and fitted with your own invidual self. Don't force the healthy lifestyle on yourself when you know that your favourite food is pizza. It's only going to bring negative emothions to your life. So healthy diet? It's any possible food schema that fits you, your lifestyle, your needs and provides the needed components to your body. Basically eat some cake every once in a while! :)

I really hope you can tell what my main thought is because it's a very expanded topic and trying to fit all my thoughts in this post was a bit of a challenge.

Summer 2015

I feel like I always sum the the two months of hot and crazy with the same sentence "This was the best summer ever" but to be frank I don't think it was ever a lie. They just keep getting better and better. This time I went on two camps (one by the sea of my stunning homeland and the other one abroad - in Italy) and had the best adventures with awesome people. I met a lot of new amazing people and finally had the time to hang out with some of the old beloved friends. I also finally cleared my mind off and had a harsh reality check, now I remember what's truly important in life and feel very inspired to fulfill myself in the things I love to do. As you already know I went to Italy and it was amazing. The sense of freedom and the opportunity of straying in between foreign looking little streets was really nice and I was very happy with my camp choice. The free time and organised sightseeing trips were very well balanced and kept the trip interesting... But now it's all coming to an end... Or is it? I challenge myself to keep exploring and simply living also by the school year aaaaand we shall see how it goes. I will for sure update you on my journey! Until another time, xoxo
