Me Being a Libra...

Because my birthday is September 25th, this makes me a libra. Libra's are supposed to be good at balancing, right? Considering I won mostly on balance beam when I was in gymnastics, lets hope their talking about physical balancing. Life balancing + Leah = mental breakdown. 
Okay, so in high school I guess we're not going to have all our crap together. And you know what? It sucks. I can't tell you enough about how much I love music and sharing my music with people. It's the universal language after all. But I have to admit, balancing a career and social in life in high school is costing me sleep. 
Overall, I would rather write 100 songs a day (counting crappy ones) than spend 4 hours at a bonfire talking about my most embarrassing story with kids I might not know in a year. Not to say I don't want to know them, but life happens. Being around peers 7 hours a day, 5 days a week can get very distracting, and it's so easy to get caught up in drama and fitting in, even if you all claim to be artsy hipsters, you want to fit in. And I can't seem to shake this feeling of being lonely sometimes. 
Then, I stop and think; look at my life. I have everything I've wanted, and all the tools to have more. I'm pretty dang fortunate. So even if I suck at balancing, I know I'll always have a safety net in my parents, family, and God. And I'm happy. 

Just to lighten the mood, here is a picture of my photographer, sister, and I after the photo shoot we did this past Sunday. The pics will be posted soon, and I can't thank this lovely lady enough for helping me put my thoughts into images!
