If My Life Were a Movie, This Week Would Be a Montage Scene

Pixel art girl stands next to a film camera against a blue sky and green hills. Speech bubble: "If my life were a movie, this week would be a montage scene."

Some weeks are full of drama, some feel like a slow-burn indie flick, but this one? Full-blown movie montage. Think outfit changes, quick cuts of me running late (with iced coffee in hand, of course), thrift store stops that turned into treasure hunts, and all the little moments that somehow add up to “me getting through it.” Cue the background music: Joe Jonas' new album of course.

Scene 1: Thrift Trip Vibes

Cue the quick cuts of me browsing through shelves, trying to find wishlist items, and finally finding that dream thrift piece. The kind of find that deserves its own slow zoom and sparkles! (Spoiler: it’s the one I saved for last on TikTok that you can watch below!)

Scene 2: Saturday Morning Butter

Picture this: the kitchen is softly lit, Joe Jonas is playing, and I’m making homemade butter because… why not? It’s giving main character energy. I have been making homemade butter for a couple months now and it is truly one of the easiest things to make. It keeps me from wasting heavy cream when I need it for other recipes!

Scene 3: Teacher Off-Duty Mode

The final week of school was a whirlwind with the emotional clap-out, my brother finishing up middle school, and just plain feeling all the feels. But now? I get to enter the part of the montage where I get to rest, breathe, and start getting back into all my hobbies (I'm looking at you reading and crocheting!). It's hard to do the things that I love when I am so tired after teaching. Summer is my time to do the things I love with zero interruptions!
