I took this photo today because I needed a new photo for my new “about me” page. I used this photo as a placeholder, because I always use it as an icon for various sites and have always loved the look. I was really close to just leaving it as the picture for the page, but I thought against it. It’s my about me page, so the picture should be…

a year today
Read moreSo, it’s officially been a year today that I created this blog. My intention was to blog a little every week on the topic of love and what love is. Along the way, the theme sort of changed. I got really into art journaling and different types of journal documentation and scrapbooking that I wanted to share those things too, so I would post them here as well. It just…

how fictional characters have shaped my life
Read more“I don’t know where people got the idea that characters in books are supposed to be likable. Books are not in the business of creating merely likable characters with whom you can have some simple identification. Books are in the business of creating great stories that make your brain go all like ahhbdgbdmerhbergurhbudgerbudbaaah.” ― John Green I’m just coming off one of my most emotional reads since TFiOS—The Darkest Minds series…

a few of my favorites #2
Read moreJust felt like sharing a few of my favorite things of the week. I spent the better part of the week reading, so not much happened to blog about. I did want to write up a post about a couple of books I’ve read that I wholeheartedly recommend, but this was quicker and there were a few blog posts that I read that I wanted to share as well. (But…

what i know now
Read moreI’ve been a bit down lately. I never know exactly why, I just go with it until it blows over. And it almost always does, only to come back the next month. I’m starting to think it may be hormonal. But regardless. It always has me thinking of all the things I haven’t yet done. I suppose, when you feel down, you feel down. You start to think of all…

just a thought
Read moreHi. So, for the last week I’ve been working on a website for a new music artist that my cousin is now working with. Normally, I work on these types of sites until my brain is spewing code in its sleep and I’m driven completely stir crazy. Naturally, all those things happened. And in one of my many periods of annoyances, I said mostly to myself (though I did mention…

on job searching
Read moreSo, today I complained to my mother about how I’m bored and need a new hobby. I like hobbies. They are little things that I can do every-so-often that are creatively stimulating or challenging in some way as to keep my brain occupied for a bit. Like art journaling or photography or that one time I taught myself how to crochet. I like discovering new things that I end up…

a few of my favorites #1
Read moreHi. I have updated as usual because honestly, I haven’t been doing much. I was sick for about a week and of course that sucks the life out of you. The most I did that was somewhat creatively productive was add items to my shop and work on a story I’ve been writing for the last two months called forgetting charlie. But I have been reading my daily dose of…

creating original content
Read moreHey. So, I’ve been a bit uninspired lately. I have a small notebook with blog post ideas written in it, but as I look back at them now, they don’t seem too inspired. I think the whole direction of how I want my blog to go is just not the direction my blog is following. I think the root of it is the seemingly lack of original content. Granted, all…

on indecisiveness
Read moreHi. If you’ve noticed, I changed the layout of my site again. Why? I don’t know. I never know. Most of the time, I just feel like changing it. Do I ever need a reason for doing anything? This brings up the funny subject of making decisions. I’m horrible at making up my mind, especially for certain things over others. Like, I never know what I want to eat and…

first kiss and wanderlust / a mixtape
Read moreI’ve always liked making playlists. When I was younger, in the days before CDs, I remember having a pile of blank cassette tapes my dad got for me sitting on my desk. My boombox or walkman was always tuned to the local pop radio station. I’d sit there for a while just waiting for my favorite songs to come on, just so I could hit record and get them on…

the lovely moon
Read moreI’ve always liked looking up at the moon. Yet, for a while, I did take it for granted. When you’re a kid, you learn about the moon and the solar system and all the planets, but that’s pretty much it. You know that they exist and after that, you never really think about them ever again (unless of course, some really smart people say Pluto isn’t a planet anymore; then…
