i've considered many of times to just fucking start all over and begin a new blog. but i have a hard time betraying what was me, and the idea of not bringing you who i am.

we are drunk on the idea that love can and will save us. but what about when it doesn't? where do you turn? how do you move forward? how do you become okay with your brokenness? i think that is what we are all desperately searching for. if only i get this---- and then that---- but the thing is you cannot runaway from who you are, it will always catch up with you.

every dreamer knows it's entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been

defy all expectations

because it's true

"How often in life we complete a task that was beyond the capability of the person we were when we started it." - Robert Brault 

this quote hit home for me & therefore needed to be the only quote on this post. i feel as if this is true to my life right now, and how amazing it feels to take on my dreams instead of store them away. 

you'll see

simply over-accessorized

intimately free people. @ http://www.freepeople.com/intimately/

 over accessorize year round. & braids always. i don't care if it's "in" or not, they always work.

always free.

 i just felt like rambling so here we go, oh but first a photo shoot because i have after 20 years learned how to curl my hair. i know, it's a proud moment for.

okay thanks for wasting your time. well currently in nashville: snow has become a very normal thing. which is really not normal. because as long as i've lived here we were lucky if it snowed once! so it's kind of amazing, i feel like my home town has been turned into a winter wonderland this past week :)

however that does not mean i could ever live in a snowy place because i still hate cold weather. i HATE being cold. but i love winter clothes. so i mean, you win some you lose some.

other than that, i'm really enjoying my time in Nashville. it grows on me, even being from here, because when i return after being gone for almost years, i realize how great it is to be from here. life here isn't simple, but compared to LA, it is extremely simple.

and people are nicer... and i think my southern accent (or whatever accent i have) is creeping back in... OH NO my acting teacher is going to kill me!

but yeah, life is good right now. it was so amazing to see all my friends from high school & such over the holidays. most people think they leave high school and move onto their college friends, but i've learned for myself that my best friends in the world come from home.

okay, off to Rumours East (a lovely wine bar in east Nashville) to meet my angel of a mother. stay beautiful. xo.

2011.

Well the holidays went by in a blink of an eye. I can't believe it's almost a week into the new year. 2011. 

 it's always good to reflect back on your life at the end of the year, as long as you don't get stuck in the past. so, just keep on going. recharge.every.single.day.

 i have high hopes for this year, because i've got a lot of drive and determination i did not have last year. i have a lot to say and i will find a way to speak up.

 so i've been writing a lot. poems/songs/random. and i will eventually find a way to express my unspoken diary. because this blog right here, right now is my open diary. a place i can share some of my thoughts, but nothing too personal.

 whoever you are, wherever you are, just know, you are beautiful. you are able. you are the future. live your life-change lives. be kind. always. happy new year, lets try to make this crazy world a bit better one day at a time. xo.

free people does it again. i am OBSESSED with their new lookbook!!! I WANT IT ALL! ahhh.

the little things

I'll admit it, I have not been taking my own advice lately. I have not been paying attention to detail. I put these pictures and words up all over the place to keep the inspiration alive, but at some point it starts to fade out.
Like one day I just stopped seeing the small details becuase I was too caught up else where.so I took pictures to force myself to see it... THE FUTURE IS MINE. the future is mine, the future is mine. repeat it til it sticks.ohhh tumblr, that is my go to inspiration website & its so addicting!
well I hung up my Anthroplogie quilt over my window becuase the weird little shingle things i have covering are falling off one bye one. & i need a little privacy, i mean come on.i like how you can see Marilyn Monroe through the mirrors.

my to-do list is weirder than yours. I have to start my day off tomorrow by getting a taxi to the HOllywood Bowl to get my car, then go to Crown Bar & see if a missing wallet got turned in. FML.

Mom, I know your reading this. Don't freak out on me yet :/

goodnight.
