Life is so weird. But it's mostly very good.

I must grow my hair. It's mandatory for my summer image.

Recently I've felt like there's a cartoonesque dark cloud floating above my head. I swing in and out of depressed moods as the day goes on and the beautiful but moody spring weather changes.

Current obsessions: Freja Beha, Abbey Lee Kershaw, The Pacific Islands, Rodarte, Siwy jeans, feminism, Africa, Australia, cupcakes, plain lattes, Greek yogurt, breakfast food (American), Weeds, elephants and other animals.

<3 Sky Ferreira
Some women, like her, give me hope and inspiration. I need this now, when I'm lacking hope for humankind. Except, that is, for a special boy, a new friend, rare, genuine strangers, and my family.

I need to write more.

Because of you I'm running out of reasons to cry.

Roons

I have never had French Macaroons, and my heart hurts because of this. I have never seen a photo that makes macaroons look so good before.

Natura Aura

Okay this glorious photograph makes it final...I'm growing my hair out (pretty) long (and I will have longer layers, but more side bangs than across). Stunning!

You're my favorite

Dundee

Jesus Christ, I would wear this getting out of my Jeep and going to work in the city when I'm 23 and better established. Whatever, I'll wear it now!

Hot Pink and Hot Stars

I love hot pink, Bollywood style, rediscovered Smashing Pumpkins and cupcakes right now. I'm not hating on February as much this year...aren't you proud of me?

I will wear this while my boyfriend plays the new Star Trek mmo.

It's been a while

= the perfect simple ensemble

The last half of this month has been exhausting, dramatic and not very fun at all. It hit me like a bag of books that I HATE academic writing. It's so goddamn boring, and good for one thing: facts. I do not enjoy research papers (the only kind of research I could do is ethnographic, I'm sure...it allows creativity). I have the job interview of my college dreams tomorrow and a potential amazing internship with one of my favorite non-profits. The point is...I dislike most Januarys, but the natural signs of spring are here, good things are happening, I'm really really smitten and my dad is making fish and chips. PS: Don't forget to donate time and money to Haiti!

HAPPINESS

For me, happiness is the freedom to do what you enjoy, the freedom from that which brings you down and lowers you in any (negative rather than humbling) way, and the act of being surprised.

During a difficult part of my life a couple years ago, I struggled to understand the minute details of life and relationships and was left hanging and tangled in them. Trust me, this was a point of unhappiness for me.

One day, it stopped being painful. I stopped caring so much over these details. When I look back, it wasn't actually a sudden process, but a gradual one involving me getting involved. I got a fabulous job, volunteered, helped organize every possible school event, explored the country by myself and started helping animals. Boredom is the hobgoblin of the mind...never let yourself be bored and may you be on the road to happiness.
