  • 30-day challenge ~ WRITING RAINBOW (BLUE) day 25: what does “peace” mean to you?

    “Peace” is when we are allowed to be different, we are allowed to be conflicting, and we are allowed to express ourselves even when it goes against the grain. If you can accept chaos — that is peace. It is a higher state of mind that rises above heaviness and difficulty. It is a complete…

    DESPERATION

    Desperation can be a good thing. I used to be so worried about “bothering people.” It was my greatest fear. I never want to make things difficult for others, or come across as annoying. I used to think it was one of the worst things in the world, to come across as desperate. But I’ve…

  • 30-day challenge ~ WRITING RAINBOW (BLUE) day 23: how do you deal with sadness?

    Sometimes I can get really wrapped up in sadness and let it consume me. But I try to get something positive out of sadness by transforming it into art. I think some of the most beautiful art came from places of sadness. So it can serve a positive purpose.

  • 30-day challenge ~ WRITING RAINBOW (BLUE) day 22: what gives you the blues?

    What gives me the blues is when I really miss someone. It’s hard to miss someone because there is usually not too much you can do about it and it makes you feel very powerless. It also makes you feel completely separated not just from the person but from the entire world.

    Grounds for sculpture

    I spent the weekend with my friends Laura Sofia and Connie. Saturday, we went to a really trippy place called Grounds for Sculpture which is like a park and an art museum at the same time, but the art is very strange and random. It was so much fun. And then Gabby joined us later…

I draw the curtains, but leave a slight opening for a little bit of sunlight to come in. I light many…

  • Tuesday’s Tea ~ URGENCY!!!

    Today’s tea is the classic English Breakfast black tea. It has a lot of caffeine and really wakes you up. Sometimes being calm, cool, and zen is not a good thing. It can be a bad thing. It can hold you back and detach you from something you could be missing out on. Urgency is…
