a sad but necessary post

I owe you all an explanation to why I have been such a crappy blogger later. "Crappy" isn't really a strong enough word, but it's what I'm sticking to for now. 

I owe my readers more than just the typical "I've been busy," or "school has been really stressful." Yes, all those things are quite true. School is as stressful as ever, and now that I have a job (more on that later) I'm a busy bee. 

In reality, I haven't had a sufficient amount of time to sit down and post a proper and interesting post. 

Sadly, that isn't the core reason I have not been blogging. Yes, those things are all factors, but there is a much bigger issue in my life that I should address. 

You see, something damn sad has happened to me and my family. To you, it may be no big deal, but to me this is a lot to handle. 

I have had nothing to post, because lately I have been overcome with sadness and stress. 

My parents are getting a divorce. 

Divorce. It's such an ugly, bitter word. A word I truly find disgusting... Divorce. Divorce. Divorce. 

It's as if my whole life is circling around this major event. It should not be, of course. That is not healthy. But it is okay to grieve while I am trying to sort this out. 

Divorces are ugly affairs my friends. I wish no one ever had to go through what I'm going through right now. 

It is hell. No, it's more than hell. It is heartbreaking. 

So, yes, I am sorry I do not have any recent posts up. I'm working on it, and I even have quite a few ideas. 

1. Favorite fall recipes

2. Fall makeup tutorial

Stay posted. I'll try to have one of these up within the next week! Until next time xxx.

For now, some brighter memories...
