Dark Blue

The street lights on my block were all changed from the standard yellow lights to a new LED system. They glow the prettiest shade of blue in the night. I read somewhere that installing blue street lights actually reduced crime and suicide rates. Blue has always been known as a very chill color. I think that's why I like it. I like to be calm.
I'm feeling stressed but I know I can still recover from the little stumble I've taken in my classes. Hard work and dedication are what it takes to get anywhere, especially into the medical arts field. I have to kick ass for the next couple months, then sit back and enjoy my summer. I'll have a new kitten, no stress, and a boyfriend with a pool. What more could a girl ask for? I knew school would be a stress but I wasn't counting on everything going to shit while in the process. I just have to pick up all the pieces and make up for the time I've lost. I have to get through the week successfully. I have to use my time wisely to study and better myself. My room is a semi-disaster and I know that cleaning helps depression and makes it easier to focus. I know this to be true from a couple of past cleaning binges. Little by little, I'm picking at my mess and clearing away the unneeded junk. If you think about it, it's like a metaphor for life. You can survive with the mess of stuff you don't need. But you won't be totally happy and free. In order to feel clean and motivated, the people around you have to be clean and motivated. We throw out the trash that takes up space and keep the things we absolutely need. This maximizes both efficiency and happiness. I have the happiness. I just need to make myself more efficient.
