these texts are an archive of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area from march 2007 - march 2015. it stands as a record of close to a decade of my life, charting the struggles i faced as an artist, daughter, and lover. messy and chaotic at times, eloquent and poetic at others, these texts are an index i am proud of. it was here in this electric box that i learned how to be honest about my experiences and the person i needed to become. it was here that i first learned the truism that words make the world and how to trust such a beautiful, rife, hard fact.

thank you for meeting me here in such tall grass.


my artist website is here.

:)

the weekend was wonderful- calm, warm under quilts, no phone, hot chocolate, hugs, friends, and crochet. i feel happy and safe and am not at all dreading the approach of winter. i'm looking forward to spending more time inside, buzzing around, full of excuses to consider interior design and be girly that way. i'd like to finally make a quilt this year. it's on the list of "important things to do before i die" and, as i'm discovering, sooner really is better than later. i've been finding small and simple paths to beauty lately. i've been quiet and gentle. i've had a smile for days now and i believe with all my heart that good things are on the horizon. i've decided to uncross my fingers, nurture my hope, and just take each day as it comes.
