anais nin's first name is angela. this comforts me to no end.
i am glad it is february. one of my favorite days is only two weeks away. :)
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.

Isn't she beautiful? My sister is called Angela...she is also beautiful....
Wow that is a photo of her? I had not seen any, only read her works.
And yes, someone should celebrate VDay, it won't be me - bah humbug this year! JK - a little I will celebrate the kiddies I work with... better than nothing.
jane, yes! so deeply beautiful! i love this photograph. i look at it and can hear her giggling.
you're a wonderful sister. very good to meet you. :)
marta, isn't she stunning! i'm reading her Diaries right now. i just finished volume 1 and volume 2 should be arriving in the mail any day now.
i didn'y used to like valentines day but i decided to enbrace it a few years ago- make it a day about love and romance for ME. a day for me to share my loves and romantic view of life and not feel embarrassed about it. i send my friends valentines and wear perfume and write in my notebook. that's pretty much it. celebrate it with me, girl! <3
when i began reading her diaries i was amazed at the strength of her inner world
maggie, yes. amazingly strong! i am awe struck. i feel like i am learning so much from her... about myself especially. and i'm just so grateful to be reading her right now.
Oh Angela thanks for saying that, I wish I thought so myself .. I'm so glad to meet you too!
