good night, wednesday.

Something's not right. If only I knew what it is.

good night, sunday.

I think we are all afraid of love in some form or another. If you are not, you have not been in love. The fright stems from it not being a constant. Love is a variable. This means it changes, turns over, slaps you in the face. Not having control over something that can cripple you or give you lens to see beauty in the world is scary to say the least. I believe this uncertainty of not knowing which way the pendulum will swing is the core of our fears. Of course our personal experiences with love in the past contributes to the type and amount of fear we possess now. But most of us that have tasted the fruit it bares are willing to take the risk. Because there is nothing like it. I believe this process of risk taking, finding love, not so much love itself, is the nectar. It is where growth happens. Falling is what makes you love love. If you don’t fall, it’s not love. Probably not today, maybe not even tomorrow. But inevitably, it will make sense. perfect sense.

just keeping it real.

good night, wednesday.

You know what everyone needs once in awhile? A good old reality check or a slap to the stupid things you do. We all need someone to chastise us when your parents or some adult figure isn't there to do it for us. Everyone has their own code of morals or their own sense of judgement but it's hard to stick to them when no one is looking. It doesn't mean you're not a good person or anything but sometimes those beliefs need some reinforcement. Don't slip or falter because there's an easy way out or something along those lines. Remember your actions usually define you. Intentions can always be well intended but if you don't follow through... worthless. You can always be better than you were before. Don't lower the standards you hold yourself to. If you need someone to tell you what you're doing is wrong, have them tell you. It'll help of you're trying to balance between the thin line of black and white. Sometimes we need that extra shove in the right direction. Don't take criticism without taking it into consideration first. Most critiques are based of some grain of truth and they're ultimately made to help you improve.

let go of what you need to let go of. do what you need to do.

good night, friday.

11:11 is just another passing time on my watch. A fallen eyelash is just a blemish on my face. A shooting star is just some space debris that has come close enough to Earth’s atmosphere to become superheated through friction. Dandelion puffs are for the wind to blow. Do I not believe in wishing? Not exactly.. I just believe more in doing than in “sitting, waiting, wishing.” - Jack Johnson

I just don’t wish anymore

goodnight, wednesday.

When you get to know someone, all of their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy & recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty or looks. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body — but not your heart. That’s why when you really connect with a person, any physical imperfections disappear. They become completely irrelevant.

physical irrelevance, that is.

good night, saturday.

so many means of social media and communication yet so little opportunities to connect with someone.

why.

good night, thursday.

Today was a very productive day.

One thing that motivates me is satisfaction through accomplishment. I like to have pride in my work. To me, spending hours and hours on something like a drawing is worth it. Being able to look at the finished product brings me happiness. Inspiration motivates me too. Sometimes I’ll look at an artwork or well-written post and think to myself, “Damn, I have the potential to do that.” Then I do it.
