January is the Sundays of Months... it gives off serious Sunday Scaries all month long and honestly... it's so much longer than 31 days even if that's what the calendar says... January has got to be the LONGEST month of the year, every year. This year did not disappoint in that regard. This month saw my sister leaving again... my mom and Thomas celebrated another year of life with their birthdays! Then we lost a great, RIP Kobe Bryant and 8 other individuals that were also on the helicopter crash. I started my PhD program and I changed my nail polish more times than I can count.
I realized that my constant need to change my nail polish comes from my anxiety and depression. I also realized that it's always in the background just wanting for a time to leech onto my emotions and not let go. Kobe's death was that moment. This was the first death since Cameron Boyce's that I had an emotional connection to. Cameron's death was just days from my grandma's death and honestly it was just a spiral. I cannot imagine how those closer to these tragedies are managing to continue with their lives. So I'll continue to pray for them and talk to my loved ones and work towards a greater understanding of my feelings...
Here's what I wore this month:

January 28:
I had to go to the mall to visit an Apple Store to get my phone fixed and was there for so unbelievably long!
On Sunday, along with all the sadness- my phone stopped working. There was something wrong with the speaker which made it hard to use and talk to my support system and also just increasingly frustrating. Monday, I did a number of things to try and get things to work... nothing worked. Tuesday, Verizon sent me to Apple. It was an incredibly long experience but now- a couple days later, I can say it worked! While waiting for the repair, I went shopping at Forever 21! The rest of the week was paid up of those purchases.
