Choices. Choices. Choices. I remember one of the first moments I had to myself in Dallas. Sitting on the porch of the Starbucks on Gaston Avenue, on an evening that must have felt too hot to be outside. I didn’t really care. In fact, I was too excited to simply be in the city to […]
“I could tell you of my adventures yesterday – said Alice, a little timidly – but I wasn’t the same person then.” I’ve been down the rabbit trail in every element of my life. Drugs. Sex. Alcohol. Brutal honesty. Of those four, the last one is the hardest to maintain…while also being the most rewarding […]
Reasonable. Unreasonable. Perspective. Tomato. Tomato. Tomato. The third one is the hidden gem. What would seem outrageous to some in one city may seem like a perfect bargain to others in another. At nearly $1M, this apartment is a swanky pad for NYC…yet a tiny little box if you are living in Dallas. Seems like […]
Cold and dark, the morning has proven itself to be a long one. Saying goodbye is hard…harder than I thought it would be. While we rarely say “goodbye” and often say “see you soon” the sting of saying goodbye is still fresh in my heart. The hug that wasn’t quite long enough, shared during the […]
it’s the start of a tragedy; a symphony of beautiful possibility and uncertainty. Let the players tune their instrument, and prepare for the grand concerto. Our lives, loves, and failures can make for a beautiful combination if we allow them to be. [tweetable]Behind every great painting live a thousand and one mistakes.[/tweetable] I painted a […]
We don’t need no credibility because we are incredible. Kill one man – get a life sentence. Kill a car full of people – get off Scott-free because you’re a wealthy brat, suffering from affluemza. Kill millions and get elected for a second term in America. God bless america. what we make of our lives […]
A little older. A little older. Time flies so fast that I don’t know where it goes sometimes. It seems like only yesterday that I was stepping into MP100 for a math class that I was 15 minutes late for. Looking back at those times, it would seem that I felt like an outsider looking […]
Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Being content where you are can be a difficult thing to achieve. More often than not, it’s a shift in your attitude and perspective that can change your life, rather than the fixes and solutions you originally thought would fix things. Happiness can be leased but never bought. The happiness […]
PostIKEAism. Discovering that you’ve evolved from the days where you used to use the IKEA ‘shopping list’ tool to plan out your perfect pad, to a more critical state of mind that’s capable of seeing the deficiencies and lack of quality often found in their products. It feels like growing up and looking back at […]
Step by step. Moving forward. One step forward – three back. The amount of actual thought and decision making that goes on during our daytime hours is shockingly low. Even after careful hours of poring through the news, we are still receiving only the watered-down facts presented and stretched by the ownership of the media. […]
