life ~ a photostory

  ~ a life update in the form of a photostory ~ this is truly Julia's aesthetic, entirely by accident, most of her closet is blue and white stripes. she's always either wearing her airplane propeller necklace or her dream necklace, wearing double dutch braids.  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Julia. She was a dreamer, one with a good imagination and wide horizons. Some of her happiest days as a teenager were spent taking photos of dolls, lying in the street to get the perfect angle. Her dolls were like built in friends, companions wherever she went, on trips and vacations and outings.  As she grew up, Julia grew busier and busier, and high school was a lot of work. But she had goals and she did everything she could to reach them. One of them was graduating two years early, which took up a lot of time and energy. After hours upon hours of studying, she finally graduated.  Taking a gap year beginning in 2020, the weirdest year of the century, she had no lack of other thi

Save Our Shelter: The Beginning, Part 1

Save Our Shelter - Part 1
********************************

I walked quickly backwards, talking a mile-a-minute.
"I am so excited to take you guys there!" I was talking of course, to Katie and Madi, who had joined me on my trip to the animal shelter, Dare 2 Care.
Madi laughed, her camera swinging around her neck.
"I'm excited to come with you!" Katie nodded in agreement, turning a cartwheel.
A little while later, I led them into the grassy yard of the animal shelter, where they were greeted by animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors. It was mainly a huge place for them to play, but there were a couple benches here and there.
Madi and Katie looked around eagerly as I pointed to several pets and told their stories.
"They're so a-dor-a-ble!" Katie exclaimed.
"I know, right?!" I giggled.
I rubbed the head of the dog that bounded up to me and jumped around, barking eagerly and wagging its tail happily.
"Hey there, Rolo," I greeted him, a huge grin on my face. I loved being at the shelter, because it always made me so happy.
"Rolo?" Madi giggled, snapping a picture. "As in, the chocolate?"
"Yes, and no," I explained, laughing with her. "He's always getting all dirty from rolling in the mud, but he looks like a delightful piece of chocolate so..."
Katie plopped down beside some other dogs, which met her with curiosity before bounding around her begging her to play.
Soon, the three of us found our places, with Madi snapping pictures of the adorable animals as often as she could.
 

Katie raced around the grassy yard, chasing and being chased by playful pups.
 
I sat down on one of the nearby park benches, playing with Rolo and snuggling with other pets.
After about an hour, I gathered my sisters to go. Madi insisted on a selfie.
"I am so glad we came!" Katie exclaimed. "Let's do it again!"
"Yes, I got a ton of fantastic shots," Madi chimed in. "I can't wait to come again!"
 


I was surprised and startled by a hand on my shoulder that didn't belong to any of my sisters.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to for to much longer."
 
Even though I was stunned, I still remembered to introduce my sisters.
"Katie, Madi, this is Ashlynne Worthington. She's the director of Dare 2 Care. Ashlynne, these are my adopted sisters Katie and Madi."
It was there that Katie interrupted me.
"Why did you say that, Miss Worthington?" Katie asked impudently.
 
"Call me Ashlynne," the other girl said. "I said that... because the shelter is closing."
