I remember earlier this year, when it was still winter, when we sat in my car and fogged up the windows because we were talking so fast. Our words filled the gaps of time we had lost. We were describing what had happened in the past year and it was eerie to me how much alike our stories were. You said how the medicine helped you calm down, how the incoherent noises in your head became a symphony.

I’m sorry I’ve been gone for so long. Things haven’t been awful, but they haven’t been great either so I’m working on fixing things and fixing myself. I’ve been feeling like I’ve been making the same mistakes in a different and bigger city. I just wish I could have a break and figure things out.

breathinglessons asked: Haha, I love the internet so much for connecting me to people I never would have met otherwise :) and yeah, It's actually been a pretty big idea in my life lately. I could go back to Virginia after I graduate and pay in-state tuition to go to the #4 graphic design school in the country, but I'm not sure if I want to do four more years. I really want to get a full-time job and start on my...
Today consisted of getting no sleep last night, detoxing from the weekend and doing a lot of pointless running around. However, I’m attempting to conquer my to do list like a beast!
Anonymous asked: Any recommendations for vitamins or supplements for vegans?
I think it’s finally time to release this Tumblr to my friends and family. I went through a lot of posts from awhile ago and marked them as private. A lot of shit went down in 2009 that I wrote about to get my thoughts straight. I’m too much of a coward to be that exposed.
Whatever. I’m thinking too much.
Welcome.

I’m making a lot of vegan followers on this Tumblr. You guys are making me miss cooking for myself.
breathinglessons asked: seriously! Especially with LA when people can live insanely far out and still technically live in LA. They may as well live in another state, haha. it's such a big city but I like it that way because there are constantly new places to explore. FIDM is pretty amazing. We're on quarters like UCLA so it's really fast-paced, especially since our classes are all project based but...
breathinglessons asked: HAHA yes thank goodness! I live in downtown right by the staples center, currently at FIDM for graphic design. I see you go to UCLA, which is pretty much my dream school! I love westwood and the campus and everything.

breathinglessons asked: So I found you off of the vegan tag, which is a huge plus. Then I find out you live in LA, which is another plus. Your interests listed on your art-centered blog, another plus. The fact that you have an art-centered blog, another plus. The fact that I truly enjoy your art work, another plus. Super compatibility on lastfm, another plus. I think the Tumblr gods sent you to me.

I live in Los Angeles. Everyday I find myself walking along Wilshire, with my head up, admiring the skyscrapers. I feel so happy. For the first time, I feel home. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been homesick for my family and some sense of normalcy, but this was the change I needed. Sometimes, my old fears grab a hold of me and try to drag me back down, but I have to keep fighting.

Finding out that my dorm has a Jersey Shore night
3 tags
This is my last night at home and even though I have to get up at 4:30 to make it to my internship on time, I know it’s going to be a restless night. I’m feeling so many conflicting feelings at one time. I’m not scared. I’m not unsure that I’ll be able to make it. I’m just terrible at goodbyes. The past few days everyone (myself included) have started crying at...
As expected, I’ve worked myself into a frenzy. In my sleep, I convinced myself that it was close to the time where I had to get up and that my alarm wasn’t going to go off. I’m supposed to get up at 4:45. I start panicking, wake up and roll over to check my phone and it was only 12:45. I’m wide awake and my laptop is packed away so I’m typing this out on my phone. If...

I finally got my move-in confirmation to move in on Wednesday so I can participate in my teaching internship. However, I had the sobering reminder that I’m going to miss this week’s Jersey Shore.

I finished packing. I’ve been living out of moving boxes for the past couple days and it’s a pain in the ass. I have to refold and repack everything on Tuesday night. Since I’m leaving at 5 in the morning on Wednesday I have to pack up my car the night before.
I only have two days left. Yesterday was my going away party and I’ll go into it more when I move, but I spent a...

This was not what I wanted for this blog. I wanted it to be something for me to post my art besides Flickr, not some place for me to whine and be emotional. Since I’ve worked almost everyday this summer, I haven’t gotten around to doing much art. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve left my house for an extensive amount of time these past few months. I was expecting to have some...
After going through my archive, I realized I’ve barely been on at all lately. I’ve been working a crazy amount of hours and I’m getting ready to start saying my goodbyes to a lot of people
Eleven days left.

I’m not sad anymore. I’m just tired of this place.
I got my official move-in date today. I move in on the fourteenth of next month which gives me about two weeks and two days (but who’s counting, right?). Tomorrow, I pick up boxes and packing tape. I really have to start thinking about what to bring. I’ve worked another 12 hour day and I haven’t had time to make my ‘moving list’.
I announced to my family what the...

The VMAs were really fun and I believe that it was one of the best ways to end this summer. Since the west coast got to see the performance three hours later at nine, when I got home my parents were watching it. The Young the Giant performance was definitely one of those things were only I could point out where I was in the crowd. Anyways, if anyone deserves performing at the VMAs, it’s...

It’s nights like this where I can feel the nostalgia bubbling up inside me. I’ve picked up and set down my phone so much tonight, always with the intention of making amends, but pride always gets the best of me. I’m missing the people and things that weren’t good for me. I burnt these bridges intentionally, but I think I just let the memories get the best of me tonight.

Decisions:
I’ve decided to dye my hair back to a colour that’s a little lighter than my natural one (which is like a dirty blonde/mousy brown colour). I plan on putting some blonde in it.
I spent a long time yesterday thinking about that letter I’ve been talking about. I’ve officially decided to get rid of everything I’ve written. I think there would be more...
I really, really, really need a haircut. My hair is beyond damaged and my bangs have found refuge in my eyes. Buns and bobby pins have become my friends these past few weeks.
I wear this top way too often. Sometimes, I like to look like a teepee. I must say, however, I hate these ‘camera face’ pictures. Girls usually do them and I just absolutely hate them. Congratulations, you...
