July, July

July 4th is Independence Day for America, a day often celebrated with fireworks and barbecues. I don't usually celebrate July 4th for my own reasons, but I couldn't pass up a chance to see some fireworks this year. I went to Coney Island with my best friend, and we sat on the beach and enjoyed some beautiful fireworks and dollar churros that were a little stale but still pretty alright. It was a lovely and fun night, and I highly enjoyed myself. I also managed to get a few nice pictures of fireworks. Who hasn't seen those though, right?

Of course, it seems a few people in my neighborhood had some leftover fireworks, as for the past few days I've still heard/seen a few going off in the night. Fun to look at, but not fun while I'm trying to sleep. It seems to have waned, though, and hopefully they're running out by now!

Wandering

Lately work has been rather crazy, so I haven't had much time to pay attention to my little blog, sadly. I work in real estate, and the market explodes during the summer months, especially in New York. Fortunately, it keeps me busy and unable to dwell on very much negative things.

I still often feel like I'm just wandering around this city without any real purpose. I've never much felt like I had a purpose, to be perfectly honest. I've no idea what I wish to do with my life, and even though I'm young, I often can't help but feel stressed out about not knowing. Maybe that's the perfectionist in me?

I can't say I'm 100% happy yet, but I hope soon I will be there.

In the meantime, I've been collecting my empty products to make a post about, as I feel there's something terribly satisfactory in using up a product in its entirety. I love seeing other people's 'empties,' and I also feel a little more confident that their review of the product is more genuine than if they only used it a few times. Not to say they're lying, but that sometimes a product can end up not working out halfway through, and when the product is completely gone you have no misconceptions about your feelings for it. So, I've been collecting some things and I will hopefully have an amount that I'm happy enough with soon.

See you next time :)
