Decided to make a blog so my fam could keep up with me while I am away in Alaska. Also just wanted to share some feelings :) Just remember emotions are meant to be put into motion and they are here one day and gone the next! Much love !
Just thought I would put it out there :) ! I really want to start to get into music! Maybe by next summer I will be able to sing and play! I feel like maybe writing this will help me out a little and be easier for me to make it a goal. I used to sing a lot but I don't know what happened to me..I just quit. But if I can get over the fear of singing out loud and push myself ..I think I will be ok. Wish me luck ! I get so nervous!
The summer season is coming to an end! Down to the last week for being in Skagway, Alaska. Things are winding down, more and more people are disappearing, and the town itself is starting to feel empty. Driving up the pass and out into the Yukon is beautiful. The color change is happening. The leaves are starting to change and the days are getting shorter. It gets dark so early now, and when I say dark I mean pitch black. In the beginning of the season it stayed light out all night and until the early morning. The colder months are definently coming, and I am so glad to be taking off. Everyone here is tired. Tired of each other, tired of the tourists, tired of the same routine, just tired and ready to go home. Don't get me wrong life in Skagway is amazing and the memories we hold are prime, we are just ready to move on to the next thing.
Everyone is going to take off and what I was so used to for the passed five months will all change. All of my closest pals that I have made are going their own separate ways. Our seasonal job that we thought would never end is actually here and ending. Tay Tay made her way back to Arizona early because her grandma passed away, Jake is back in Bellingham for school, Nicol will come home with me for a few then head back to Colorado, Charlie will go back to Oregon and then Park City, Crystle Day will make her way to Cali, and I will be making my way home to Washington for a week then head to Park City. It is so crazy how you can become so close with people in such a small period of time... But I did.
I have found out so many things about myself this summer as well as what it is like to live and meet new people from all sorts of different backgrounds. The one thing you really find out is that you can't please everyone. Which is ok :) ...So you move forward and surround yourself with the ones that want to do the same things you want to do and that enjoy life to the fullest.
I can say I truly pushed myself to the limit this summer, found out things I fear, found out what I enjoy, what I don't, how much I take for granted, lifestyle, life choices, how much I love my family and friends back home, where I am at in my journey of life, and soooo sooo much more. This summer in Skagway has shown me so much about life, others, and myself. I can say I am very sad I wont get to wake up to the amazing mountain views, nature, fresh crisp air, and pretty much have a temperate rainforest as my backyard. But I can say that I am so excited to make my way on to the next adventure.
So a few of us went out to Mine Mountain and pretty much bush whacked through trees, devils club, and a ton of bushes. Once we got through all of the bushes it was amazing! Climbing, hiking, running, chasing mountain goats, boulder pushing, the boys even went for a dip, and so much more. Not to often do we have nice weather here in Skagway and the sun was out this day. I was able to wear a tank top! I love exploring and that is exactly what we did. We went to the other side of the mountain and hiked down to an area where there were two mines. Not huge in size but we brought our head lamps so we could go inside. All in all it was a great day :) I love Alaska!!!
We laugh until we think we’ll die, barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you
And in the sticks we’re running free like it’s only you and me
Geez, you’re something to see.
Chorus
“Jade?”
“Alexander?”
“Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?”
“I sure do, you came jumping out after me.”
“Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well, there’s something I never told you about that night.”
“What didn’t you tell me?”
“While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
