on going outside

August 22, 2013
on going outside


new york, new york

I spent the day yesterday at Central Park with my friend Andy. Brought my camera along because I’ve been doing that lately, so I can actually get myself around to using it, even if I have to stop every-so-often to take a picture of something that I think looks interesting. I took a few yesterday, but only liked a small handful of them (one being a picture of my friend, but she hated all the photos I took of her, so even if I really liked one of them, I won’t post it up for the whole world to see).

I feel like I should spend more time outside rather than in. I know I tell myself that a lot, but it’s always hard to do. I’m such a homebody, it doesn’t really take much for me to entertain myself. I enjoy reading and writing. I like arts and crafts, something that’s a bit difficult to do anywhere else other than home, because all my supplies are in my room. I like music and playing my guitar, but I suppose that’s something–along with reading and writing–that I can realistically take outside. I’ve thought on a number of occasions about taking my writing outside to Central Park, especially on nice days, maybe take a blanket with me as well. But I think I’m way too dependent on the internet to solely be writing in the park. I don’t know. I’m always coming up with excuses, I should do things.

I suppose it’s only natural for me to start thinking about this now that summer’s coming close to an end. Though, I am determined to get out even during the cold weather. I’ve been doing very well taking photos of my day and my beloved city. Even though I haven’t accomplished everything on my Things to do in New York City list (to be honest, I’ve only done one), I’ve still headed out of my house and explored more than I have ever done since graduating high school (besides last summer, where I spent my days gallivanting across Europe). But I’ll keep trying!

I suppose it’s just the introvert in me. I like keeping to myself in a place I’m content and comfortable with. I suppose that’s one reason why I haven’t made a new friend since like…2008; I like the ones I have. I suppose that’s why I haven’t yet went looking to see where The Highline is, even though I’ve been meaning to do so since forever! But I will do these things. I just need to push myself, just like I push myself in all my (inside) creative endeavors.

[Maybe I should rally the troops (my own band of misfits) and we do all these things together? Sounds like a plan.]

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
