i went shopping today at forever 21 with a gift card that my parents got me for my birthday. let me tell you something. i could’ve cried when i put on this top and turned to the side. i didn’t realize the difference that 6.5 (maybe more at this point; we’ll find out on sunday) makes. this was the biggest encouragement in the whole world, and i’m so excited to keep going.

it’s worth it! keep going!
