August is for hopeless romantics, for the ones who always feel like they’re never good enough, for the ones who love getting flowers, for the ones who can drink endless iced coffees, for the ones who love reading rom-com books, for the ones who find joy in small moments, for the ones who love with their whole heart, for the ones who live for the hope of it all.

The little girl’s sense of secrecy that developed at prepuberty only grows in importance. She closes herself up in fierce solitude: she refuses to reveal to those around her the hidden self that she considers to be her real self and that is in fact an imaginary character: she plays at being a dancer like Tolstoy’s Natasha, or a saint like Marie Leneru, or simply the singular wonder that is herself. There is still an enormous difference between this heroine and the objective face that her parents and friends recognize in her. She is also convinced that she is misunderstood: her relationship with herself becomes even more passionate: she becomes intoxicated with her isolation, feels different, superior, exceptional: she promises that the future will take revenge on the mediocrity of her present life. From this narrow and petty existence she escapes by dreams.

Its National Coyote Day! I look to them as my guiding animal, a true spirit of resilience, resistance, and growth. Every day I am grateful to embody and honor them.

Need some Coyote Courage? Both availiable as medium and large prints here.

Broke up with my long term lover, it was my choice, my goodbye, but damn the hole you left in my life…. I can’t even write about it, this is REAL pain, I’d lose everyone else again just to not to lose you, but the person I fell in love with was gone long ago and I was just holding onto some kind of cruel angry ghost….. I wish you the best, and my heart breaks thinking I may have been the one to stop you from healing, either way, you were my true hand in unlovable hand, even if you didn’t know the song, in another life, in another time, everything I made was forged from our love but it’s time for me to grow up and go my own way, I’ll miss you always Thomas, you really were my everything and the times that were good will linger on my skin for the rest of my silly little life.
