La Joie de Vivre

Je m'appelle Julia.
I love bows and ruffles and iced chai lattes on hot summer days, and being by the ocean makes me exceedingly happy. I have one tattoo that symbolizes my love for the ocean, and I want to learn how to play the piano. I am blessed with amazing people in my life, and they mean the world to me. I love to sing and read and write and lie on the beach, and I spill drinks far too much. I know that life is crazy and it's not always perfect, but it's beautiful and I do my best to always remember that.

Here is a lesson for you all, especially those of you about to start college or in college:

In any and all cases when I member of the campus police is trying to pin any kind of crime on you, do not cooperate. Do not comply. Deny any and everything. Admit nothing. You have rights. Don’t tell them anything, don’t do anything they ask you or tell you to do. They don’t like you to know this, but if they don’t have cause to actually do things without your permission, you are under no obligation to do it for them.

They want to search your room? No matter what they say, say no. Never agree. No matter what they say, even if they tell you they are going to search your room, do not even say “okay.” Say no. If they tell you that they can search your room, do not believe them. If they have the cause to search your room, they will do it without your permission. If they tell you that they can search your room, tell them to get a warrant.

end of the lecture, but seriously, it is ridiculous how often people get in trouble because they do not know this. It is a scary situation to have a police officer telling you you have to do something and to defy them, but I promise you, if it a room search, you under no circumstance have to do anything they ask. It is scary and you will doubt it, but do it anyway.

have I mentioned lately how much I <3 this?
I want it badly- hello xmas dress?- but it’s 68$ (which isn’t TOO bad) and the dress shown under it is also 68$.

Also, I spent all my money on an apt deposit and I’ve sworn off shopping until Thanksgiving because my bank account is dying.

This whole “life” thing just doesn’t make sense to me. Sometimes I can listen to music and it doesn’t even have words and it makes me want to cry, not out of sadness, but just because I feel. I feel music, and I want to feel it every second of my life. I don’t want any distractions, I don’t want to have “homework” or have “due dates” or “papers” or have to go to “manditory meetings.” I want to learn about what life is. What is life? Life is love. All I want is all of the aspects that are love. I just want to leave, I want to travel, but I want to be with all of my friends, I want my dog, I want absolute freedom I want to have campfires every night, I want to write beautiful music with 20 people at one time and I want everyone to sing so loud, I want everyone to sing what they feel, even if it’s 20 different lyrics and 20 different melodies all at once becuase at the end that passion will resonate and transcend into a different state called LOVE and we will all live there. And we’ll never be lonely, *because if you have music, you’ll never be lonely.* I want pure joy, I want to never worry about material possessions, I just want love, and memories of love. I want to document my life with songs and polaroid photographs and tattoos as milestones. I want to be wise when I’m old and I want to share everything I’ve learned with everyone I meet and tell them that all that matters is love and nothing else because the sooner they learn that the more they will get out of life.
