“Love can come when you’re already who you are, when you’re filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.”
“Writing down your thoughts is both necessary and harmful. It leads to eccentricity, narcissism, preserves what should be let go. On the other hand, these notes intensify the inner life, which, left unexpressed, slips through your fingers. If only I could find a better kind of journal, humbler, one that would preserve the same thoughts, the same flesh of life, which is worth saving.”
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people. Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.”
I have been such a bad writer/blogger lately. I’ve never stopped thinking of blogging, or writing, or thoughts that I found interesting, but I’ve allowed them to be fleeting moments rather than giving them the tender loving care necessary to grow into full blown ideas written and visualized in front of my face and to be completely cognate of. So— in the spirit of huge changes in my life, I’ve decided to reclaim my writing and allow my ideas, thoughts, worries, concepts to see the light of day. If for no other purpose, than the purpose of full exposure. My writing will grow and change as I grow and change through these pivitol life changing events that are going to be happening to me.
What sparked this was the decision that Ry (my fiance) and I made to freaking get the h-e-double hockey sticks out of this bo dunk PA and for me to move up to Fort Drum NY with him once we are married in June until he gets out of the military in December. My job reassuring me that it would tsill be there when I got back made me all the more ready and less afraid to take giant strides into the great unknown. I am however, of course still terrified but at the same time so excited I literally think I could sh*t rainbows. I’m just saying. So here is to uprooting my home and building a new one with my future husband. Oh. Shit.

About me
I am 23 and graduate in december. I'm a Pittsburgh kid going to school in a country area so I get the best of both worlds! Just trying to make my way through life and maybe inspire or help people along the way. I'm random, eclectic, over sensitive and just about the most forgetful person you'll ever meet. I love hard and my friends are like family to me. I ruv them."The goal isn't to live forever, it is to create something that will."
