Making a hand print painting with my bestie- July

This was a bittersweet moment because it showed much about our friendship. I feel like I finally felt the comfort of having a good friendship. In the past, I've had a best friend but she did me wrong, so I feel thrilled to have found a friendship like this. It´s healing to know someone has my back the way I have theirs. It's so girlhood and she's my sister from another mother. We have been besties since 7th grade and ever since we have been inseparable. If I had to choose someone to be friends with forever it would be her. She makes me happy and she is very funny. She always reminds me of who I am and always listens to my nonsense. I want my future kids one day to refer to her as aunt.

My 15 birthday has to be a core memory. I invited all my family and friends and we had a huge party and we danced all night. I ALSO GOT ALMOST 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS. It was a very happy moment for me having all my loved ones there with me and making me feel special. I hate having attention all on me but this day I enjoyed it. I got my hair and my makeup done and I felt like a barbie. I loved spending it that way and I wouldn't have it any other way. I ate my favorite food which was birria. My friends all came out for me and it made me happy most of them actually showed up. Some of them even stayed super late but I liked having their presence. I felt very loved that day.

This concert was a birthday gift. This concert was really huge to me because his music healed me. I listened to him during my hardest times ever. I was super happy and I felt soooo sad but happy. I'd def go again and I wish I could. I want to relive it everyday. Its always in my head. It was my favorite gift ever. Everyone around me was so loud and I loved it. I wasn't even always on my phone because I always enjoying it. It was also my first concert ever.

I had a fun beach day in July with my bestie (Rebecca). We went to Huntington Beach. We went in the water and tried to take cute pics. We walked around the pier and had deep conversations. We also sat down for a while and we just talked. We went with her parents and her mom was recording us. It got cold while we were there so we ended up leaving early. After that got and ate pizza. We drove around LA and listened to music in the car. When I got home we showered and Facetimed and posted our pics to be aesthetic.

Summer school was such a fun experience for me. I had retaken math. It was so fun tho I had like 4 friends in there and I ended up meeting 3 more. My teacher Mr Suh made the class so fun and easy. Every day there I was laughing. Sometimes I wanted to leave home but I'd never be bored for that long. He would let us walk around. We would even order food and get a lot of breaks. I have a lot of memories in his class. Even though I hated waking up early, Im glad I experienced all those laughs and smiles we had.
