Amsterdam

I've made it a new lifetime dream to go to Amsterdam before I die. This is partially because I've read The Fault In Our Stars by John Green a bunch of times and the imagery he creates is just breathtaking. I also give credit to google maps for being so thorough in their street views as to allow people to wander the streets and even the Rijksmuseum, all whilst sitting in your kitchen enjoying a cup of coffee. I particularly want to spend hours reading under a tree in the Vondelpark. Let us enjoy pictures for now, shall we?

I'm obsessed.

P.S. 

I take no credit for these lovely images, I simply borrowed them from search results on Pinterest. I'm new to this whole blogging thing so I don't really know how to properly give credit, but the credit belongs to the lovely artists who took them.

The 19th of January

Today, I have been seizure free for a year. Weeee! This is actually really exciting for me because I had a grand mal seizure last year and was diagnosed as epileptic, and after living with a  fear of myself for a year now, this milestone feels kind of incredible to me. I was very emotional about the epilepsy thing at first, but I've realized that it's under control and that I can be happy and that I don't have to worry every minute of every day, which is a very freeing thing for me right now. So yay me, no seizures, wohoo.

In other news, I just watched Moonrise Kingdom today with my dear boyfriend and it was just, I don't know. I can honestly say I've never seen anything like it. I'm way too used to the mainstream sappy ideas of what movie based on young teens should be like that I can't figure out what to think of this one yet. I have to mull it over for a while. But in my experience, the more I have to think about something, the more I come to love it in the end. Also, there are gratuitous amounts of saddle shoe shots in this movie. Me gusta.

I've been feeling very creative these past few weeks. I started making a skirt in an amazing shade of mustard yellow, pictures will be posted. I've also been getting much more creative with my wardrobe again, which feels so much more me. I go through these phases of wardrobe laziness where jeans and t-shirts are the norm, but it just feels so bland and not Bre. I feel more like myself when my mind is turning with tons of creative ideas and inspiration. This blog itself is a production of my creativity, just for me to process my days and my ideas, and I think it'll be really awesome to look at this a year from now and see what was going on in my head from a different point of view. I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

I hope this inspiration in me keeps going, it's so invigorating. I wish it were summer so I could run about town and be free, but alas, I'm stuck indoors because I refuse to associate with this awful frozen precipitation we call snow. Ew. But at least i have a blanket with cats on it and a super comfy hand knit sweater made by someone I will never know.
