[13 May 2007|10:37am] it's 10:37 in the morning. i'm currently waiting the arrival of my mediocre coffee, in which i start most mornings. printmaking-first work-second photography-third for the day. in 72 hours or so, i will be done with this semester. it's weird to think if i would have stuck with business, i'd be done and in ny and probably an intern at some advertising agency, beginning a high finance, high speed, empty life most likely. i should really get better coffee. it is afterall, my preface to every day. sink your teeth in

[24 Mar 2007|09:55am] [ mood | happy ] for the first time, in a long time, i am so happy and grateful for everything and everyone in my life. so often people use journals as ways to express their negative feelings and negative outlooks on things. i have recently come under the belief that enforcing the negative, putting it out there, and allowing the universe to assume you WANT it out there...is a real, big mistake. whether it's bullshit or not, and i am currently under the impression that it is most certainly not, positive energy has worked for me. this is my ad campaign for all things optimistic and positive. because i've realized the more i daydream about the negative, the more i stress about the future, the more i get anxiety over my life, my job, my bills, my house, my car...the more anxiety i'm allowing to grow within me. it is soooo much easier to just say "I have so much work to do, but I will get it done. I will work as hard as I can for the next few days to catch up, then allow myself to moderate my workload." in contrast with, "I hate all the work I have to do. I will never get it done. I'm never going to sleep tonight. I have too many jobs, I have no money." I woke up at 9 today with my beautiful amazing boyfriend by my side, my cats rolling around and purring, my room more open, the sunshine coming through. I went down the stairs to my house, felt fortunate I had one. Talked to my mother, felt happy she was part of my life. It's a better way of living. I recommend it to anyone currently stressing out, depressed, low. It's so easy to turn around. Just keep saying and thinking the positive. I have just realized there is no reason to stress over the things i can't control, i will instead take action and efficiently prepare myself for the things i can control, and realize, there is never a time or an instance, i will not be able to get past. if i am going to live this low income, two crappy jobs, full time art student, living in my mother's home, credit card debt lifestyle i better realize there is not too much i can do about it right now and i might as well just work with what i have and know that i deserve and can get more. we all can. i love my friends, whether i see them everyday or talk to them everyday, is not important anymore, what is important is that they are there, and i am here. we are, for, each other. and i am so fortunate for them. i love my family. i will make an effort to be closer to them and see them all more often. i am in love. with the most amazing, beautiful man i have ever known in my life. and we are so thankful for each other. everyday, he makes me smile and laugh and allow myself to thank some higher power for our existence. i am also applying for an amazing job, which i feel is more than in my reach. anyone who has taken the time to read this and even those just glancing at the last line, i hope you are doing well. :) and if you are not, you soon will be, so don't stress. just know you can be. and just for the record, i didn't take lsd last night and just decide the world is a place of all things positive, happy and enlightened, i have not turned ignorant. just turned positive and i hope i do not sound pretentious, i am not trying to. just an update as to the way i am attempting to now live my life, because i have had the luck to meet someone to inspire me to be this way. and hope maybe one day i can do the same for someone else. 4 have you ever tasted skin?|sink your teeth in

[05 Dec 2006|08:27pm] As Rainer Maria Rilke once said "I have never been aware of how many faces there are. There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each has several." I find to even the truest of all human beings that we all wear masks. None of us are ever always true in how we allow others to percieve us. Whether we are making ourselves look better...or worse, we "make ourselves." I know there are some of you out there saying, this is all just a projection of how I feel about myself and sure, to some extent that is true. But I do not feel there is even one human in this world who is not somewhat fake sometimes, MASKED. And if you're the one sitting there saying "I'm always me, I'm REAL. I don't wear no mask." You're probably the first one to put yours on in the morning. Humans are deceitful, and this does not have to be a negative aspect of our being. Sometimes, in everyday life, it's necessary to hide...i don't want every person I meet to know the real me. I don't care to be that simple. I like to think you have to work for it. Can you imagine if I met someone for the first time and instead of smiling and saying "hello, my name is melissa, nice to meet you." I started crying on their shoulder and telling them my deepest, darkest secrets? I see something fake in every hello and something real in every goodbye. Call me artifical, pessimistic, deceitful, dishonest, I don't care, this statement is a truer one than most can handle. My mask is mostly transparent and it looks a lot like me, but there is a thin lining of plastic, don't let me fool you. I'm just a peeping tom. sink your teeth in
