beaded wallet

I was on the hunt for a new wallet and all I kept seeing were either gigantic leather wallets or boring minimalist wallets or tactical wallets for listening to joe r*gan / doomsday prepping. And then one day I found this for sale in a cafe — one of those un-grammable coffee shops with fair trade crafts and cool aunt decor. It’s the best wallet I’ve ever had and a top possession. It’s nice to look at, it’s nice to touch, it stores everything I need and I get lots of compliments. It’s not built for longevity but I’ve had it for a year and I will cherish whatever time we have left.

PSYCHE & CUPID

I think that their story is overshadowed by other greek love (if you can even call some that) stories like Orpheus and Eurydice, Hades and Persephone, and Aphrodite and Adonis. I analyzed this piece for my art class in the first semester of junior year and am still working on it for a study; it's cool actually how something that takes seconds to admire can take hours to gain insight. Greek myths I think prove that there's a bit of human in everyone; forgiveness and redemption, power and betrayal, love and hate.

A DAY'S DREAM

Whenever I pass by a pair of baby shoes at the store I wonder what my life will be like ten years from now. Funny that it sounds bizarre to love something that doesn't exist yet I am enamored with my future children. I like to think that maybe love is there, just in the unborn. Loving someone is never a waste, and the thought of loving him for the rest of my life definitely gives me the drive to work hard; if it means that my back will ache as I hunch over my desk to illustrate or animate I will bear through it with a smile. I really want to pursue art, it makes me happy and I have so many ideas. Maybe one day I'll meet with my highschool best friend, and we will sit and chat for hours at a café. She will tell me the trajectory of her life while I show her my current work in progress and explain that love did prevail. I'll tell her about my engineer who works hard, and the two little darlings, all of which occupy my heart. There's an idea that you shouldn't expect things to happen because life is a roller-coaster, yet I know I can accomplish my dreams with time. You shouldn't be afraid of dying, you should be afraid of not living. Why live in fear when you only live once?

Relationships and performance

I cried like a baby the other day, and honestly I'm glad I did. In my core class I was doing some research on my EE topic, mainly focusing on Marina Abramović since I'm obsessed with her work so obviously my essay is revolved around her. Anyways, Amidst my research I took in time to view a fuller extent of The Artist is Present'. I knew it was an all day things, how people lined up to view it and even how celebrities such as Alan Rickman and Bjork sat with Abramović. The main thing about this was to have a conversation without words and instead utilize eyes, expressions, and sighs. I know there are photos and videos of people crying and such when meeting Abramović, but she wouldn't have any extreme reactions other then smiling or sometimes shedding a single tear. Moreover, she would not move her arms nor extend them to the person sitting across from her.  Ulay was a German performance artist who had a relationship with Abramović with twelve years and after mutually agreeing to separating, they decided to meet each other at the great wall of China. The two started at opposite ends and met at the middle which took three months, they hugged, and this act was called 'Lovers'. I love artist lore especially when it's about two people who have history together in the same profession. Anywho so one day while Abramović is seated with eyes shut, a guy takes a seat on front of her and when they lock eyes the two immediately becone teary eyed. Because it's Ulay and their first time seeing each other in years. They cry, laugh, smile, and for the first time extends her arms to hold Ulay's hands, to which he takes. So yeah, seeing it made me bawl and it's overall such a powerful clip. I think everyone should watch it. I think too that it encapsulates that despite growing far from a previous loved one, the emotions are still kept in tact waiting for a chance to sprout again.
