What I need is the dandelion in the spring.
The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.

Doctors say I’m the illest cause I’m suffering...
Sometimes it’s all too easy to get into a funk, where some daily tasks and work seem so daunting… especially after a nice holiday at which the world seems to pause for a moment.
At this point I force myself to see the positive in those tasks and find myself something fun to do too, such as starting a new painting or learning to play my new ukulele. Sooo liiiike I have things to be...

No, forgive me.
If you are not living, if you, beloved, my love if you have died all the leaves will fall on my breast, it will rain upon my soul night and day, the snow will burn my heart, I shall walk with cold and fire and death and snow, my feet will want to march toward where you sleep, but I shall go on living, because you wanted me to be, above all things, untamable, and, love, because you know that I am...

“Well, how can I find inspiration?” they would ask.
“Look around you!” I would say. “Look out the window. Go for a walk. Go to a movie. Go to a museum. Go see a show. Read a book. Go to the library. Take the Circle Line. Have a conversation.”

Unfortunate Events
I had been really looking forward to spending more time on this blog since I was done with my big test! However, something unfortunate has happened… I was not in the best of neighborhoods in Tampa and while away from my car had my window broken and my netbook and camera stolen.
Now, I like to think I don’t get attached to material things, but I have to admit, that really stung....

A little piece of paper with the words ‘when I grow up I want to be” and a blank space that I had filled with my writing. The words ‘a doctor’ were crossed out and next to it was written ‘an actress’. Clearly I’m perusing the wrong career.
My favorite song was Slim Shady.
