UNTITLED NO. 1

Sometimes you realize that what you've always wanted isn't something you ever really wanted at all.

Somewhere

I want to go somewhere beautiful with you. Somewhere simple yet stunning. Somewhere that is breathtaking, even when no one is there to appreciate it. Somewhere that I can sit silently in your presence and be comfortably myself. Somewhere we can go when there is no place left to run to. Somewhere that is as much mine as it is yours.

Somewhere.

Pro tip from a former Jared’s salesperson: You want a sparkly white rock that will look like a diamond to the untrained eye and will literally cost the price of a nice dinner for two? Created white sapphire. They’re lab grown and cost *pennies* to make, so you can get a 1 or 2 carat white sapphire for like… $30-80 probably. You can get one as huge as you like, perfectly clear, perfectly flawless. And no one will ever be able to tell the difference except a professional appraiser. Also, sapphires are the second-hardest gemstone (right after diamonds) so they are very durable! Very unlikely that they’ll chip or crack. Get that bitch set in sterling silver and you are GOOD TO GO. Whole thing should cost you less than $200 unless you get a fancy band with a lot of extra stones. Of course, created sapphires come in every color of the rainbow, so if you want something more exciting than plain white, you TOTALLY CAN.

I feel like I'm the Lana Del Rey of my social circles. These people look up to me like I'm the statement piece of our social ensemble. "She's beautiful. She's just misunderstood" they say. I can be fucking crazy and they'll still beg for more. I don't know if its a compliment or sheer ignorance.

Brittany

Half way through the school year, when I was in 3rd grade, I moved. It's awful being the "new kid". Everyone stares at you like you're some sort of experiment. I had so many new friends, and she was one of them.

I remember her telling me about teachers, and students, and the safety procedures they conducted on 9/11. We both liked to dance and we both had little brothers. We were instantly sisters, although neither of us knew it right away. We fed off each others energy for years as grew into who we are. Thinking back on it now, I realize that we were always like tiny adults, learning how to have our own opinions. It's crazy.

She's changed more than anyone else I've ever known, but it works on her and it makes me happy. She's lost herself more times than I can count, but she's found herself every single time. I absolutely admire it. She is so much stronger than she thinks, and everyone can see it except for her. There have been so many times she thought she couldn't get through, but she walks away without any noticeable damage and none of us could ever understand how.

There are times when the waters get rough and distance becomes present over time, but we always meet back in the middle and it never gets old. She is full of encouragement and support. Laughter spills from her eyes at every reunion and it makes the time sent apart worth it.

I've learned so much from her without her realizing that she's been my teacher all these years. She knows how to love herself, how to have fun, and how to not give a shit about what the group of bitches three tables down is saying about her. She rocks and my appreciation for her will never falter; neither will our friendship. The whole world could change overnight, but I know that the bond between the two of us never will.

Sia - Elastic Heart Music Video

Guys this is a music viedo about Sia and her father. Maddie is Sia and Shia is the dad. The MV is about her and her father both being trapped, I think in mental illness, and how it caused them to not get along. At one point her father get better and tries to reconnect causeing her, Maddie to freak out and run away making him then regress. Towards the end Sia, played by Maddie gets better and escapes leaving her father behind. She then goes back to har father, they reconnect, and are seen playing, before she tried to help him escape. In the end he is too old, big and set in his ways to escape. That is why she is outside of the bars pulling on him. The song is about how she will always try to help him no matter how hopeless it is. They are wearing nude leotards because that is what dancers wear and the color keeps from distracting from the dance. Get your minds out of the gutter. All of the choreography was playful if you look at it. It was a very beautiful work.

It actually makes me very sad that people are misconstruing this video. Not only is this an amazing performance on the part of both Shia and Maddie, but this is a perfect visual representation of what it is like to battle with hereditary mental illness. Dance has always been a way to express with the body ideas and themes that are too difficult to explain with words.

I understand that it’s abstract and a little intense on the first view, but just because they are wearing nude leotards and physically touching doesn’t make it sexual in the least. There is nothing in this video that is inappropriate due to Maddie’s age. The themes and emotions she’s brilliantly portraying are ones I hope she has never and will never have to deal with personally, but she is an artist and clearly has an understanding of the subject matter (to an extent) to be able to portray it so well.

This video is meant to shake you, that much is clear. But what should be most jarring is the raw emotion and bare intimacy the two share in their dance. (Remember kids, intimacy =/= sexuality). The pain, anger, sadness, playfulness, and closeness between Maddie and Shia (and the allegorical father and daughter they are meant to represent) is normal and not at all inappropriate. Of course some movements or facial expressions are exaggerated for the sake of performance, but nothing shown here is remotely intended to be sexual, nor does it read that way to anyone who has an understanding of dance or theme.

Please stop taking this amazing and moving piece of art and making it something it’s not. Thanks.

The ones who take this work of art and twist it into something it is not meant to be are the ones who do not consider dance a form of art. There are more of them than anyone thinks, and it breaks my heart that so many people deny the beauty portrayed through movement of the human body.

Alone vs Loney

In my age, it is all too often that I confuse being lonely with being alone. All my life I’ve gone everywhere with someone else. I’ve always had a small army to make the trek to the restroom with me. I’ve always had a companion to accompany me in my shopping endeavors. I’ve always had someone there with me when I either went to dinner, or to the bar, or to get coffee…

I'm starting to realize that there is nothing wrong with doing things on your own. Being independent is actually an attractive quality to most people. I've started trying all of the previously mentioned quests on my own and it's actually better in a lot of ways.

There is nothing wrong with vegging out to your favorite show on Netflix for twelve hours on your own. Who cares if you waste literally HOURS on Pinterest to build your future wedding that you're not even sure you're going to have? Is it actually a problem if you stay at home and focus on your creative energy until you produce the most perfect masterpiece you've ever made? No? I didn't think so.

You see, there is an undeniable difference between being alone and being lonely. Being alone is when you can go places by yourself and enjoy your own company. Being alone is when you go to the spa by yourself because it's supposed to be RELAXING. Being alone is being okay with yourself to the point where you don't need the company of anyone else to keep you entertained or content.

Being lonely is completely different. Loneliness comes through those long nights where you can't sleep because you're in this queen-sized bed by yourself, without someone to hold you. When you're lonely, you're constantly looking for that attention from someone else because, as much as you love your cat, the affection you receive from your cat is just not enough anymore. Being lonely is when you stand in the hot shower for way too long because the presence of the water is better than the emptiness of your apartment. No one wants to be alone in their apartment, wearing a robe, with wet hair, and no one to discuss their day over hot chocolate with...

Personally, I was always afraid to do things alone because I didn't want to be lonely. But now I understand that doing things independently is quite alright. It's a new light shed on my early twenties that I am welcoming with open arms. I am not lonely. Not today, not yesterday, and more than likely not tonight. I'm not afraid of my shadow, as long as it doesn't start talking to me. Until then, I am alright with being alone.
