Mind. Thought. Process. My name is Alyssa. I write, I take photographs.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

The light here was amazing. I stayed a night and made new friends. 

I look forward to visiting again.

Soft and worn 

With time and wisdom 

Often through folly 

I could not make peace

With this between

Neither here nor there 

Surely there comes a time 

Resolved

The bed is warm 

My feet are cold 

The space between

Stunning Pressed Plant Life and Gold Leaf Illustrations by Helen Ahpornsiri

Hailing from East Sussex, artist and illustrator Helen Ahpornsiri has specialized in working with the fragile material that is pressed plant life. Ahpornsiri’s continuous nature-based illustrations depict the colorful beauty and life of insects, butterflies, birds, seahorses and other woodland creatures. The artist meticulously choreographs specimens of fern, algae and gold leaf to compose the silhouette of our favorite animals. Constructed from foraged plant life, each leaf is pressed for at least one month before it is dedicated positioned to create intricate designs.

Overall the organic matter pays homage to the subjects she recreates. The romantic idea draws its sole attention to the beauty of nature and its creative purpose. You can find her entire collection in her Etsy shop.

35 years after the birth of the laptop computer and 25 years after Wi-Fi was invented, someone finally may have built the ultimate word processor.

The Freewrite is a portable mechanical keyboard with a small e-ink display on it. You can’t do is browse the web, however, and that’s by design. It’s just you, the Freewrite, and a blank piece of e-paper.

For most people, the prospect of spending hundreds of dollars on a throwback device seems foolish. But if you’re a writer, you probably get it. With all the distractions on the Internet, sometimes it’s hard to exercise self-control.

Dear Friend, 

I miss you. I know you will not be coming home. 

Despite this, I always hope to see you smile like that day we rode the bus through San Francisco, holding hands in the rain. Like happy children, we giggled, ate fruit and bread. My hair was spread across the grass and you couldn’t help but pick flowers. It’s been nearly 5 years and I sure do miss you. 

I’ll love you always. 

Please come back for Indian summer, someday perhaps. 

I drove past your mother’s house, where those feral cats meowed until we fed them, and you fell out of the tree. We picked tomatoes, still warm from the summer sun and ate them like apples. I hung my laundry on the line and huddled upstairs in a blanket despite the 100 degree temperature outside, the AC unit was effective. 

I am sorry I never got to tell you one last time how much I loved you, despite the addiction. You will always be sea foam and I will always be the changing tide. 

I am learning how to stay goodbye, I am learning how to make peace. 

Thank you for loving me, when I could not love myself. 

You’re always in the breeze. 

Always, 

A

Hi everyone! This is a public service announcement to STEM majors ending their junior year! (US Citizens only, unfortunately) This is a fantastic summer internship opportunity funded by NASA that I think you should all check out.

If you have even the faintest interest in earth science or want to know how your field contributes, this is definitely something you should put on your list to apply to.

Even if you’re not a rising senior but know someone who is, please pass this along!

Application deadline is in February 2016
