just breathing

do you ever get the feeling that this life isnt yours? that you have no control? that everyone around you is living and you're just breathing. watching. waiting.

be reckless enough to gamble all or nothing to follow your dreams.

ive said it 100 times before. i love people who follow their dreams and passions with drive and determination. i love supporting self made designers who took their dream and made it into reality. love and leather is one of those brands. the pieces are all handmade and fuse rock and roll with boho chic. they are an amazing statement piece to add to any outfit. i am wearing the party warrior necklace which is pretty much my go to accessory right now!

chained

arrange whatever pieces come your way.

you don't have control over what happens to you, but you can control how you deal with the hand you're given. i have been learning more and more that i have to accept and deal with the life i have been given and i can't compare where i am in my life to others. some people get lucky and some have to work extra hard. it is difficult to not become bitter, but when you step back and see you have made the greatest picture with the pieces you've been given, you may realize you need to give yourself more credit than you think.

oozoos

artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide.

i recently read this article about people who are seemingly outgoing but really aren't (i mean this was nowhere near the title but you get the jist) its funny because, when im out and about, thats me, always energetic and outgoing, but it is tiresome. for me, i rather sit at home and watch tv or do stupid shit on my computer than go out. i like loneliness. i like being alone, essentially, hiding. but as artists we need to communicate and create and brainstorm. it is a constant struggle being pulled in two directions.

until you know me

dont talk about me until you have talked to me. dont underestimate me until you challenge me, dont judge me until you know me. i feel like especially with social media these days, there is an abnormally high amount of judging, bashing and hatred. it seems like everyday i hear some new rumor about me, or hear someone else talking bad about me, or someone not allowing someone else to talk to me. to me, this makes no sense whatsoever. its like, you dont know me or my intentions so why automatically think the worst of me? i have to admit, i am not totally off the hook here, either. recently, i got to meet someone i had only heard bad things about, and i had never met this person, so i believed them and i had no desire to meet this person at all - and then our paths crossed - and i was so pleasantly surprised by how wonderful they were. it just goes to show you, you have no business judging anyone. people may actually surprise you.

climbing to the top

every delay, postponement or redirect, only means that the universe suddenly had an even better idea.

life is not a one way street. it is constantly changing direction, stopping, slowing down. its exhausting and exciting - and i will never stop climbing my way to the top. no matter what obstacles put themselves in my way. it will make the success all the more sweet!
