Its the 4th.

the smiles

the laughs

the lights

the noise

the beauty

the freedom 

I look around trying to find a good place to sit before the fireworks start.

As I sit on the grass I start clutching my ears anxiously waiting for the first fire work.

"Psst. Why are you plugging your ears?"

    "Ugh. Do I have to go over this every time?"

"I guess so.."

"Okay, ever since I was little I have hatted loud noises. Especially fireworks."

"Oh, so you don't like fire works?"

"Did I say that? No. I love fire works! I hate the noise."

"Ah.. That makes sense."

I start to sigh.

'Boom'

I plug my ears harder. Its so beautiful.

A celebration of our freedom.

And array of lights for our country.

'Bam'

I try and see if its not that loud.

Unplugging my ears..

 'BOOM'

Okay that didn't work, I say to myself.

I sit in awe of the splendor that surrounds the sky.

After the fire works I race over and eat some cake.

I look around.

Little kids running with dangerous sparklers.

But yet its gorgeous.

I grab a sparkler and sit on the steps.

The sun has set.

The fire works are going on.

The cake is calling me.

Everything is so simple yet so complex.

Families laughing together.

Its the 4th.

embrace the light // behold the boom

\\ You are beautiful //

hey guys, it's Mackenzie from think. eat. write. read. .  

Shall I introduce myself? 

I am a red-headed awkward sixteen-year-old girl. I love reading and writing. Like a lot. 

I write all the time, not necessarily stories but just writing in general. I hope to publish my own book someday. 

I like to inspire people. I really hope I inspired someone by writing this today. Some people don't realize how beautiful they really are, and how looks never matter. 

Beauty comes from the inside, and from who you really are.

Hope you enjoyed my guest post and be on the look for another from me! :) 

Thanks Kayla for letting me guest post, I had a lot of fun and I absolutely LOVE your blog. Don't you guys agree? ;) 

xoxo

Cons.

    The outside marks up pretty easily..

You have to be careful not to let a car run over it or let your dog get it...

  Dogs adore this... I have experience.. *Sadie!!*

     I have never done a review before.. So I probably shamed everyone who has done one..

 Please Forgive me! 

    I honestly think I want to make a living photographing Lip Balm and Food!
