And you tried to change, didn’t you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake… You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

"Autumn Please." 10.14.13 I ventured out into the campus today. (Finally had the nerve to walk around with camera in hand. I’m really camera shy.) Walla Walla is pretty in the Fall so why not photograph it?

Moth's Wings

You spoke snippets of truth with confidence from a drunken mouth about the flammable feelings of your heart and the flighting truth in a purposeful slumber of whispers. 

You said soulmates as if this word meant the divine fate of our Destiny who seemed to be waiting at the front porch, exasperated, lost yet satisfied. 

Sober thoughts escape from your trashed body in whirlwinds of sweat and bodily fluids. In goes the sweet alcohol. Out comes your rawness, vulnerability. And Destiny clutches at you from the strings of your tongue, hoping what you say will be the right cards.

I sit here: wondering, questioning, believing your shit-faced blabberings at six in the morning. Imagining what it would be like to make eye contact and truly see you because you said soulmates last night, and I believed you.

I will be deleting this blog in a week. It's time for a new start.

We live in a world that's manipulated by the media and sculpted by upperclassmen. And let's face it, we won't get far if we obey. So let's take a stand and praise the God that may or may not exist because it's better to believe in the unbelievable than to question the existence of the unquestionable.

Whoa, just found my old blog from junior year.

What the World Eats

These amazing portraits feature pictures of families from different countries with a week’s worth of food purchases. The photos, from the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats by Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluision, reveal a stark contrast between cultures and expose the proliferation of processed foods in the western diet and in the diets of many developing countries. Some people have more to eat and, too often, eat more nutritionally questionable food. And their health suffers. It’s no wonder that we are seeing an increase in diseases related to diet & lifestyle choices. We also learn that diet is determined largely by uncontrollable forces like poverty, conflict and globalization.

This is a piece about long distance.

About how even though your loved one is there on screen, or on the phone, or on any form of communication, they can still feel distant.  As if everything you’ve ever loved about each other when you’re together some how happens to disappear.

This is about the The Art of Missing You.

A random update

Today could not have gone any better. I walked into my dorm and smelled brownies. Found one of my sectionmates baking chocolate cupcakes. Most of the people received my letters I sent, and their comments made me feel bubbly. And I caught up with special people. I haven't felt as content as this since I've stepped foot on campus. 

Today has been lovely.

Deleting this blog.  It's time for a new beginning.
