Light gives of itself freely, filling all available space. It does not seek anything in return; it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished. -Michael Strassfeld

I will have a studio one day.

It's decided. I'll make it happen.

One wall will be covered with something amazing. Either doodles from top to bottom, paint strokes, gold paint, a sort of screen-print thing, or something that I haven't thought of yet. 

It will be messy but organized.

It will be large but I'll probably feel that it's too small.

It will smell like paint thinners, oil paints, clay, pencils, and spray paint.

The themes of my blog posts have definitely stayed consistent since I've started. Not in subject matter necessarily, but in the way that they are all things I want to remember and my dreams and goals and commitments to myself.

I'm glad I started it.

These Days

Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them? ~Rose F. Kennedy

I'm taking a bird watching/writing class this semester and this is basically what I look like. ^^

My dream is to work with sea creatures and learn everything about the ocean and all of the things that inhabit it.

I've been listening to this song a lot lately.

A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left

Andrew Bird

I spent eleven dollars on shampoo and conditioner. I could have bought two Chick-Fil-A meals, two Big Zax Snax meals, or one Newks meal for that.

As my sophomore year of college starts coming to a close, I'm right where I was at the very beginning of it: analyzing the prices of my groceries and thinking about how much food I could have bought with that money. Because of the fact that I bought VO5 shampoo and conditioner last time (90 cents)... I could condone spending 11 dollars on my hair this time. Oh, the college life.

One day, I will have a studio and it will have a desk with an area above it resembling this.

And my house will contain a blown up image of the sheet music to my favorite song.

1. I'm ready for the flowers to grow back.

2. I've got my priorities in order.

3. I've found the perfect place to sit in the library.

4. I wonder if people actually read my blog.

5. I want to spend an entire day lying in the grass underneath the sun.

I'd love to live in a world like this. ^
