To my parents ...

So for a lot of people that know me, you know I come from a family whose parents divorced when I was a kid and then later on my father remarried.  And this video I came across on YouTube really really touched home with me.  maybe I'm just all in my feels about stuff because of the holidays but it brought up a lot of things I've never said and I should have already at this point in my life.  So with that said it's time for a vent session on my part.

A Mind That Overthinks....

Outgoing people with anxious minds tend to feel anxiety the most intensely, often because we don’t talk about it. And by “often” I mean never.

Our anxiety is a contrast to our big, bold personalities. Strangers would never guess it. We never know when to fight or flight, and our self-angst is maxed out. We are often the life of the party but can also be mind-numbingly introspective, questioning everything.

Oil Pastels*ugh*

So oil pastels are the absolute worst sometimes.....but I've been working really really REALLY hard to not break every single one of them in half as I'm attempting to improve myself and my art while using them. 

A New Book To Read

So the book is called The Cuckoo's Calling. 

Now it says it's by Robert Galbraith but if you're a reader, or just so happen to know, you would then know this is the pseudonym for J.K. Rowling.  It's also book 1 in a 3 series of stories called the "Cormoran Strike Series".  I do know from reading the inside of the cover and some slight research on the series that Cormoran Strike is the name of the detective in the storyline. 

FAITH

I've been going through quite a lot lately....working, trying to get in SCAD, and so much more.  I was always raised to have God in my daily life but I've slowly veered away from that more and more without even noticing.  With moving to Georgia I've been able to do a lot of soul searching and with that came finding God once again!

Another Adventure

Sooo I'm from Nashville 

Most of you guys should know this

but I'm about to embark on a NEW ADVENTURE

Where to begin

been slacking....

So my birthday was the 30th, and I had a phenomenal time with my CHIVE friends who through me a party!  I had way more to drink then I probably should have, but hey it's my birthday and allowed.  I then went to Texas to see my family for a week....it'd been a year and

YOU...

crazy
smart
funny
perfect
challenging
unpredictable
predictable
you

love,
its falling and fighting
but managing to feel the way you felt when we first touched
love,
is finding all the flaws in one another and accepting them as something beautiful
but it wont be easy
love,
is getting mad. getting angry. and we may even shut one another out at times
but love is knowing that once the storm passes and the skies are clear,
we will see just how amazing and beautiful this all really is
love,
because even flowers cant grow without a little rain every now and then

Doodles....Doodles for dayz!

 

Doodling has sort of taken over my life here recently...not just like drawing in general but mostly typography styled artwork.  After I was chosen at THE ROW to do the chalkboards I realized I really enjoyed that style of artwork, and that I wanted to start getting better at it.  

CHIVE ON!

So this past weekend I was able to participate in an awesome charity to help support a local animal shelter, Clarksville Montgomery Humane Society......

im already something to someone i dont even know

Sometimes we get caught up into what we are to someone or what we should be to a person that we fail to realize that their might be someone else out there that we are perfect for.  We are so focused in the now that we don't see the potential future.  I can say that I'm personally guilty for that....

FEAR...
