beautiful mess, 2021

I kind of feel like, life has a way to work everything out on its own, that I'm not even in control of my own life. That there's a greater force in the universe out there that's more powerful than anything, including any of my fuck-ups.

And life, through its ups and downs, through the crashing waves of life, will somehow still take me to where I'm supposed to be in life.

And if there's anything left to do in this life, it is that I can enjoy my good life, with loved ones around me, and shine as who I am, without having to deal with the pressures to be like anybody else in the world. I feel like, I shine the most when I'm just being myself.

The world has a way to create 'pressures' for us to perform in a certain way, following the crowd to feel 'normal' and feel like you belong, but would you rather be ordinary or stand out in the crowd? I love watching movies about really cool artists, about how they struggled and finally made it big in the art scene. I read Saul Leiter's story, and there it was revealed that while everybody else was doing black and white photos, he started doing something completely different, and carried on taking color photographs. He's now dead (RIP Saul), but his legacy remains even now as the pioneer of color photography. Something new can come out of my own life, I thought to myself, because I'm somehow different. As much as I want to be a little more 'normal' or special, I can't. It's just not how my life has turned out so far. So I thought, there's only one me in this world, and out of my life, comes what's truly unique and peculiar, that cannot be brought to life by anyone else in the universe. I don't even have to strife to be the greatest, the most brilliant, if I just be honest and true to myself, I think I can somehow do amazing things with my life, against all odds.

There was a time in my life, when I was feeling really inferior having to see another person that's accomplished so much in her life when she's only about 2-3 years older than me. I felt so little when I was around her. I mean, she's happily married, with a good husband (looks like it), two beautiful children, and a striving business, possibly with more than enough in her bank account and more than one property and cars already lined up for her children someday. I felt like a creep, a weirdo, looking at my life, after observing hers, kind of like Radiohead song: Creep.

But today, came hope, even if it's just a flicker, that every person has their own life story to live on. Everybody wants success, I think, for their lives, including me, and I want my dreams to come true. But to me, what's most important to come out of my life is a true love story, not a 40-under-40 story. I don't mind having a 40-under-40 story came about in my life but only as a bonus, and never without the big love story as the main story - a very peculiar love story especially written by the author of love that fit me perfectly, everything about me! And what's the big fucking rush anyway? The world is in such a big rush all the motherfucking time, trying to be somewhere and become someone; that you have to pick a major in college at 18, when you don't even have a fucking clue what you want in life.

God knows I hate competing so much. I love playing tennis, but it's just to have fun, I never wanted to become a professional athlete. And my hobby is singing. I secretly wish I could play even if it's just one musical instrument, and it's the guitar. But my brain only has the capacity to carry five chords in tune in a guitar. My musical taste seems to be stuck in the 80s and 90s and haven't evolved for a while now. I have a huge huge crush on Morrissey since he was still with The Smiths. And no matter how cheesy people think, I still listen and enjoy Chicago very much. I look like a Parisian poet in New York dressing up, but I really like Mars Volta, kind of heavy on the guitar there! And there was a time in my life, that I thought I was going to be a dancer, after having so much success with it as a little girl as young as nine years old. But no, I turned out to be a painter, and a writer, traveling the world, after so many confusion in my life. I tend to distant myself from people who make things more complicated than it is, because I like things simple and easy. I believe that the meaning in life is as simple as being happy, that as long as I'm doing what makes me happy, chances are I'm doing more right than wrong.

Isn't it interesting already, my life story in a paragraph I just wrote? Because it's just my own thing, not somebody else's. But have you ever met anyone that kind of ask you about what books or music you listen to and then cut you off because they judge how cheesy or hip you are by the choices of those things? I have! And I thought, oh dear, I should've kept my mouth shut! But today, I'm so tired of feeling down on myself, so I thought, fuck it.

Back to the person I talked about earlier, if you really ask me, if I wanted to trade place with her, I'd be brutally honest and say: no, fuck no. I mean, as much of a creep that I am right now in my walks of life, I am happy. I don't want to worry about unecessary goals set by other people who don't even give a fuck about my life and die trying to make other people happy or to seem 'normal' and ended up saying, "What's the whole motherfucking point?" at the end of my life, instead of, "Life is so worth fucking living. It's such a motherfucking joyride. I'm a rockstar my whole life and the world is my stage." This is why I'm not an accountant or a business owner.

It's another day, it's past lunch time and I'm not even hungry. I don't feel like doing anything important today. Just feel like musing, journaling, lounging around, dreaming with my eyes open, and smoking. I can't drink another cup of coffee, because I'm still on a motherfucking diet. I hope someday, as much of a creep and weirdo and a mess that I am, someone will see me as a beautiful mess and love me for who I really am. Hugs for everyone reading, xxxxx.

You may say, I'm a dreamer,

but I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

and the world we'll be as one

At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command (1st Pressing) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @atdimusic ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Look, I’ll be honest with you and say that I have always had some mixed emotions about Record Store Day, not because I haven’t had a good time and snagged some seriously awesome records, but because I HATE being anxious and stressed, I hate waiting in line for anything, I really don’t like that the rush for creating all the goodies for the day means that the few still operating record plants in the world are working at capacity for big names instead of the little guys. Each year I say I won’t get worked up about it and I’ll just show up after the crowds die down to support my local stores and see what’s left and every year I wake up anxious, drink too much coffee, get in line like I say I won’t, and blow a huge wad on records I didn’t realize I needed. It’s a cycle I know I’m stuck in, and I’m only OK with it because I’ve also come to know some amazing record store employees and owners over the years and I know it’s such a huge day for them. It’s also an exciting day where so many people come together to share in the love for the medium and that’s why we’re all here, right?! I’m playing one of my beloved ATDI records tonight because it makes me think of a RSD a few years back where I stood in line at @vinaledge hours before they opened just to make sure I could score a copy of the Relationship of Command reissue because I didn’t have a copy of it yet. I met some cool folks that morning, I went home with some beloved records I still hold dear, and I got to spend the morning with my favorite folks at Vinal Edge in Houston reveling in the holiday of RSD. Whether you love or hate it, you’ve gotta admit it’s become a real big thing in the community. Tonight I’ll act real cool but tomorrow morning I’ll be in line panicked about whether I’ll score a copy of @robynkonichiwa - Body Talk, I’m sure. What are you planning to snag? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #atdi #atthedrivein #jimward #marsvolta #sparta #elpaso #posthardcore #rsd #vinylexams #vinyl #vinyljunkie #onmyturntable #nowspinning #nowplaying #vinyligclub #vinyllovers #vinylclub #vinylrecords #vinylcollectionpost #lp #records #nowplaying #rsd19 (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwLqSk-g9Km/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=128grsz5m6ezo
