I've been sitting here with a blank post open for a few days, trying to think of a story to tell to make my life sound interesting.  I mean, here I am, 3,000 miles away from my hometown. In the last month, I've been through 3 national parks, like 10 states (? I can't even keep track anymore), 4 different time zones.... It's insane. And yet, I try to write something about what I'm up to, and all that comes to mind is how snuggly my cat is.   I'm ridiculous, I know. Anyway, you've all heard plenty about my trek west and seen all the pictures. That's not so much what my life is about these days although that would be ideal in the future.  Right now, life is a hot cup of ginger tea and video games. It's overcast skies, with crows swooping past my windows. It's endless rainstorms, with the cat purring in my lap. It's watching the leaves change to vibrant oranges and reds, and fall from the trees, floating gently to the ground like raindro...

why i mostly write/speak in lowercase

hello. i know this will drive some (if not all) of you crazy, but bear with me. i have reasoning behind why "i" is no longer "I". you'd think, as an english major, i would rigidly follow the rules of language and grammar. and, of course, when writing academically, i do. college requires formalities. however, when it comes to my personal expression on social media, i've been using capital letters less and less. why, you ask? well, it's just one of the many ways my spiritual life has bled into my writing. basically, i believe capital letters should be reserved for the most important or sacred concepts/feelings/beings (Love, Spirit, God, etc.) (that being said, there are always exceptions, even to this belief - usually for the sake of aesthetic when presenting my work to others, as i mentioned.) to me, "i" is an ego statement, something that this body and brain says in this life. it's a lower level of consciousness, one that's li...

preconceived notions

I'm always relearning things when I make art... probably because I haven't fully learned it in the first place.  I know that you aren't supposed to compare your work to other work, and yet I do it anyway.  I know I need to stop having a preconceived notion of how I want a painting or drawing to look and yet I do it anyway.  These are probably the hardest things to learn in the art world...and also the hardest things to learn in life as well. Take preconceived notions for example, a lot of the times there's things I expect out of an experience, things I expect out of my future, my choices, my desires, my day to day life... time and time again the world will yield something different from what I expected - of course it isn't always a bad thing. Just like how I would expect a work of art to turn out one way and maybe see it turn out better than I hoped... or worse than I hoped. The problem is when I waste a lot of energy trying to pin down what I want fr...
