eyes

wipe the sun out of my eyes. 

i've been struggling with my faith, a lot more lately than usual. usually it was just something i would push aside, but i don't think i want that anymore. 

i'm trying. 

we all try - frank ocean
can honestly say that this song has changed something deep in my heart, not only musically, but through the message also.
mad props to andrew for introducing me to frank ocean, sporadically one day.

thank you jackie for taking this picture even though i still feel weird being the subject of them.

new kicks

Nothing here is really new, actually. Just a new mindset. Trying to make things better.
Changed up the blog name and the look a bit. Now this blog and my Tumblr match. I've been thinking that it's kind of hard for me to stick to things enough to make it cohesive, so this name change is an attempt to actually do something like that.

How can I describe things right now? In progress. I'm in the process of making things better. I guess I always am. A year ago, I had so much willpower. I guess it was the process of being reborn into the person I am right now, but I don't want to stop evolving. I want to be better. Things were so different then. I can honestly say that life/school has changed me so much as a person in the last year and it's such a humbling feeling. 

Been listening to almost nonstop Childish Gambino lately. Running is getting easier. Gonna make some monthly goals for myself as soon as I get my new Moleskine. Studying more. Sleeping earlier (okay maybe only on some days). But I'm definitely getting up earlier. It's time to kick things up a notch.
