Art 101: Update #2

So I’ve been in art for a few weeks now, (and it’s basically halfway over!) so I can safely say that I love it and kind of wish I was talented enough to major in it. Ah well, I’m still going to appreciate the experience and then some. Being in a 101 class, (especially during […]

unnecessary quiet

(written: 3.8.16 in response to a lengthy discussion/revelation in therapy)

it is amazing

how

when one is quiet

and everyone’s words

swirl around them

one realizes how

unnecessary

their presence

everyone talking

around

and no one talking

to. because

one’s presence is

unnecessary to

as necessary as

they are to

Art 101: Week #1

So I’m taking an art class this summer. To be honest, it’s mostly because I really didn’t want to take any more than a 15 credit semester my senior year, (I would be happier with 12 credits, but I am happiest knowing that I will graduate on time). That being said, I only have 2 […]

Post-Junior Thoughts

“Sure everything is ending… but not yet.” So. Final grades are in, (including the late one!). Classes are over. The books I used this semester are packed away in a box at home. And I finally have a chance to breathe, (for longer than 30 seconds). Similarly to the end of my freshman and sophomore […]

My Gender Expression

[lil’ refresher: my pronouns are she/hers AND they/them/theirs] Disclaimer: This post is not meant to be all-inclusive. I’ll do one of those later when I have more mental energy and informative links on hand. Anyway; I always like to start these kinds of posts with some definitions so we all start out on the same page, so […]
