Creation Between Quotations

Inspiration is everywhere. Art, therefore, has the ability to materialize from anything. What we each decide to do with the conversations we have and the words we hear is up to us. What we make of the images that stream rampant outside of frames is what ultimately creates our identity. This blog is my attempt at a culmination and verbalization of all the things that inspire me. There are many things. Creative Writing at: jessicarybak.tumblr.com

Please reblog. There is a text version of the suicide hotline. Help is out there. Stay strong. I’ve been there. Asking for help is NOT a sign of weakness. Stolen from ImgUr.

Yep, it’s called the Crisis Text Line and they have a lot of other great resources on their website (link).

Additionally, there’s a chat service through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (link).

 The first link @howtogrowthefuckup is now broken. Here’s one to a page on their website talking about how it works.

Thanks for the heads up!

If hair braiding isn’t taught in many beauty schools, why does the government force black women to go (and pay thousands) to get a cosmetology license? What’s worse is not doing so could result in a $10,000 fine and a year in prison. Since the 1990s, the Institute for Justice has been fighting for hair braiders — and a new legal showdown in Iowa could be their biggest yet.

“Of Iowa’s 27 cosmetology schools, not one school offers specific coursework on natural hair care for black women or braiding in particular.”

It’s not hard to decide what you want your life to be about. What’s hard is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things you really care about.

We saw this fantastic set of dry-point intaglio prints on display in the 2014 China Academy of Art Annual Student Exhibition.  The work, created by an undergraduate student from the printmaking department at China Academy of Arts (CAA), was produced using several zinc plates printed on separate sheets of paper and assembled into a panoramic print.

I was initially planning on being a casual fan, but then I thought, why not just let it consume my soul instead?
