This is a Goodbye.

It's New Years Eve. It seems like a good day to write something like this.

After a year or so of fun, it's about time for me to be done with Dreaming In Color. In the last months I haven't had nearly as much time to keep it up, and my interests are moving on to other things. So I've decided it's time to quit blogging. Maybe not permanently, but for now and on this blog at least.

So on this last post, I thought I would catch us up to where I am today. 

Well...

I still absolutely love journaling. I also love writing. It's my way of looking back on life in a new way, as words on paper. Reading is also one of those things I still adore in my free time. If you see me typing on the keyboard, holding a book, or writing in a journal, you can assume I'm happy.

Music. Oh, music. How much I've come to appreciate it. I've always loved playing some instrument, singing, or listening to it. But now it's become like the air. It's something I need to keep breathing. I've gotten into songwriting a little. Trust me, don't expect anything amazing anytime soon, but writing lyrics and melodies just for myself keeps me in a good mood. I've also picked up the ukulele recently which has been quite fun. And when I'm not playing or writing something, I've got my ear buds in. I relate to lyrics so easily, and they really do help me get through life. All those happy times and hard times, songs are there for me in every situation and right when I need it the most. That's just part of the reason I love listening to music so much.

Well, that's about it. This is me. I'm not perfect. I'm still awkward. But I think I'll be just okay.

Thanks for reading for all the months you have! I can't wait to see what else is to come in the future.

Goodbye, and good luck in the new year! 

<3, Brooke

He is jealous for me,

Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.

When all of a sudden,

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,

And I realize just how beautiful You are,

And how great Your affections are for me.

And oh, how He loves us so,

Oh, how He loves us,

How He loves us so.

What Today Looked Like.

I'm Reading: Dragons In Our Midst. I'm working on the 4th book, Tears of a Dragon. They're so good! I don't want them to end, but I really want to get to the end... if that makes any sense at all. I have some catching up to do. If you've never read them, you've got to! In my opinion, my favorite was the 3rd, but read them in order. It's worth getting there.

I'm Listening to: Reliant K - Be My Escape. I heard the song for the first time ever today, and I listened to it, oh, I don't know... 15 times or so? It's so cool. The lyrics are really good. Besides that song, I've also heard random bits of Britt Nicole and Royal Tailor.

I'm Learning (On Guitar): Strangely Dim by Francesca Battistelli. The chords are easy enough to play, and it's pretty fun.

I'm Wearing: A neon yellow top, dark blue jean shorts, and diamond stud earrings. My nails are painted sky blue.

I'm Eating: These wonderful brownie, marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, rice krispy things. I don't know what they're called, but imagine brownie dough layered with that stuff. They were good.

I'm Wishing: That I could find my camera. It just disappeared on me today, and so that explains why this post remains photo-less.
