something in the air tonight. a feeling that you have that could change your life.

I feel like a jester. I perform, I aim to please. I work to make others smile, and I'm the only one looking out for my own precious sanity. Do you like tricks? Well, I juggle too. Work, school, marathon training, saving money and being able to be there for everyone, be a good daughter, a good sister, a good girlfriend, best friend, friend, worker, student. All these roles that I assume, no, that WE all assume. When do we get to stop and think about ourselves? Who will get the precious last laugh?

Everyday, I try to incorporate the arts into every aspect of my life. Unfortunately, we Americans live in a society where art isn't revered as an essential part of one's being, but as a hobby. I believe art is an indispensable tool in the cultivation of one's well being. It constantly challenges you, inspires you, motivates you, energizes you and allows you to discover things about life and of the world. I feel fortunate to live in an area so lush in resources, so rich in art that everyday I can allow myself to immerse myself in it. I hope my peers will soon feel the same.

A single piece of art can serve as a valuable reference tool, in time conveying new or deeper meanings. It's like an encyclopedia of life we can see.

Be grateful. Be inspired.
Happy National Arts Advocacy Day.

Quitting is proving to be harder than I thought. Social smoking wasn't the biggest problem as I had initially suspected. What's hardest is resisting the urge whenever I'm stressed or had a hard day. Gotta keep my eye on that prize though.

I want to have white teeth.
I want to run my half marathon. Not only finish, but run it in good time as well.
I want to stop wasting $$.
I want to wake up in the morning not feeling groggy.
I want to breathe in a good. Long. Breath.
I want my clothes to stop smelling like an incinerator.

Focus. It'll take time. I will fall more than once. But I can do it.

The snakes always wanna put your name where their tongue splits. They call it love and I get plenty of it.

If I were a body part, I'd be a tongue. It has the power of speech, is strong, has plenty of taste, ha!

i'm on the pursuit of happiness and i know everything that shine ain't always gold.

I've had it.
It's the same thing day in and day out. I need to get away. I need to have different conversations with different people. I need to be around those who love my company and don't take it for granted. I need to meet new people. I need a change of pace.

This summer, I'm going far away, even if I have to go it alone. I need to figure things out. I need a change of scenery. I need forward motion. I need to breathe different air. And when I come back I will exhale a different point of view. And when I come back I will take everything I've seen and share it with those who will be there waiting for me.

I'm fucking excited.
