sometimes all the months go by in a blur of days and you're left wondering how you landed in april in the first place. it's just the slightest bit surreal looking back over half-drafted february wrap ups when you should be working on one of the present month. it's also ridiculous how we celebrated new… Continue reading the olive’s #amcurrently update for the 30th of april || ft. the island where the volcra abandoned her and what she’s been doing (APART FROM WRANGLING OUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION FROM SAND-DENSE THIN AIR, OBVIOUSLY)

But you must remind yourself enough times obviously. THAT IS KEY." At least, that's what they say. And I kind of hate them (better known as 'people… Continue reading April Inked on Paper || Wherein dragons scream, I devour words and slowly reclaim my title as bookworm extraordinaire (i’ve been living in heaven basically.

There are extremely FEW reasons why the year end is a GOOD time for a bookworm.
