european influence

two nights ago i had a dream about being at an open european cafe, sitting alongside someone special to me.

missing manhattan

i keep missing manhattan more and more.

today in church i kind of zoned out and realized how close i am to everything.

for the first time, i felt like i could touch it. for the first time.

got a little flame in my heart now telling me i'm not going back.

i mean- the notion of living in NYC has always been a HUGE driving force in my life, but today i feel like it's hell bent and absolutely nothing can stop me now.

this post is probably a little bit too personal for me to be putting it up online. but, whatever.

everything is so exciting right now.

this week: studying, studying, lecture, test, practicum, careplans, last clinical :(

next week: studying, studying, studying, IAMDONALD (!!!!!!!!), last lecture, practicum

third week: studying, studying, studying, studying my face off, FINAL, studying, HESI

then break! i'm stressed, but it feels good. i think i'm more excited than stressed.

ready to start - arcade fire

finally got into them last night, i'm happy i did. i like the suburbs a lot.

not going back

 

i don't think i can even begin to elaborate on how much i love donald glover/childish gambino.

all of his stuff goes so hard. it takes my heart and twists it and rings it out and tells me to get back up and fuck whatever made me this way, cause i'm better than that now. 

and then leaves me aching for more.

it makes me appreciate music.

and makes me appreciate hard work and inspires me to keep going.

keep going, keep going, keep going. 

have fun, but keep going.

thin like the line between love and hate

some things just don't go out of style

like black and white photos and film.

last photo from john counts.

soft edges

i like all the textures here.

apt

been thinking about my future life, and my future apartment.
coffee of course, white sheets, long hair, cozy sweaters, lots of light, and cameras.

pictures in order: brian w. ferry, holly stanton, titta wolf

poindexter

feeling a little like a badass today style-wise, which is funny because i spent my entire day in scrubs and/or my bed. (okay definitely not with scrubs and in my bed, that's terrible)

today i hung and spiked my first IV bag!

i also thrifted a pair of gap khakis and a pair of levi 517s. the latter, i'm turning into some cutoffs.

as far as other things go - okay who am i kidding, there's always a little CG love in every blog post nowadays - i just downloaded poindexter and i'm really liking it so far. a little ashamed to be admitting that i just downloaded it, but there you go. 

grind - childish gambino
definitely fell in love with this within the first 15 seconds.

yearning for something simple. simpler.

goodbye november

photographers unknown

This morning I woke up to a partially opened window, an uninterrupted blue sky, unlimited sun, and a nice cold breeze coming through. I watched the first few minutes of my day unfold underneath my blankets. To me, there is nothing like it in comparison. I reached to play some William Fitzsimmons, and it made everything perfect.

Had some peach yogurt and pistachios for breakfast, and now I'm off to drop off some film and see what I can find at Hobby Lobby. All things I should not be doing the day before a test. Oh, my stomach is churning already. I did get one chapter read though, last night.

All I want is to take lovely food pictures like this. Right now, at least. Getting slightly tired of my gritty D40. Time to upgrade probably. One day, one day.
