It's been a while. Yeah. I know. Why? Who knows? All I know is that I'm ready to be back to blogging. I'm not sure if this blog will take on it's original format of all cutesy and curated and sweet and shat, but I needed a place to come back to and record my thoughts. I needed a place to be private, but not so private. Meaning, I don't need to broadcast that I'm writing, but I need a place for people to see me. Yes, that's really crazy to think about. It makes no real sense to me as I wrote it, but, it's how I feel.
So, what I'm going to do moving forward is really clear away the clutter. Figure myself and my desires out a lot more. I feel like I'm being drawn to a more simplistic way of life, yet, I'm steadily moving in a manner that's nothing like that. So, I need a place to unwind and be me. I need a place to gather my thoughts and figure shit out. This will be it.
Some things I have going on right now are:
1. Just got into filming video. I'm loving it. But getting this website up is pissing me off. Why? Because I just don't want to do it. BUT, I know I need to.
2. Moving. I've been living at my mom's place for a year now. It's time to go. My money is funny, but I can't keep living here. I was supposed to move back in late fall but a water break ended that dream. Now, I was suppose to move this weekend, but the last tenant needs until the end of the month, so another dream delayed. UGGGGGHHHHH! I think there is a conspiracy to keep me living here forever! NOT! lol
3. I decided I want to go back into Higher Ed. I miss it so much! I recently applied to a job that, if all goes well will get me back in the door. I think I like having a 9-5 that has guaranteed money, but that offers flexibility to run my own business on the side.
4. Photography. My photography has shaped and shifted so much over the years. I've finally realized I just don't enjoy photography for clients in the traditional sense anymore. So now, I'm going to photograph in a way that I enjoy. Stop putting myself in that damn box and just shoot.
5. Love life. Don't have one. Moving on.
6. Hand lettering. Ok- this is new. When I got into design, it was purely because I could no longer stand dishing out dollars for shit I knew I could do myself. So, I started designing and from there, fell in love with typography. That love turned into a love of hand lettering. I haven't done much of it, YET, but it's coming. I want to do prints derived from my hand lettering with brush script and calligraphy. I also want to make scripted tats from one of those approaches. I think I've finally settled on using Twizted Arrow for that. I've been holding on to that name for so long, not knowing what to do with it. I thought It would be a lifestyle blog, my photog company, and now this. Hopefully, it will find it's home sooner than later.
7. My son. He's getting bigger and bigger and I'm growing prouder and prouder. He's finally getting that relationship with his dad that I always hoped for, but sometimes it makes me sad. Only because in some ways, he's pulling away. I try not to take it personal, because it isn't. It's him getting things from a man, his father, that I simply can't give him. So as he grows into the young man he's becoming, I have to know that he will always find his way back to my loving arms. My hugs. My kisses. My love.
8. Pink. Ok this one is HUGE for me. I'm a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and for the longest, I've despised the color pink because of my ties. It's stupid, but true. I also think it's because I'm just not that girly. lol Recently, I've started embracing the color and I will be using it in different shades and forms throughout my works and business. My how time changes things! lol
9. Social media. I'm growing tired of fb, but LOVING instagram. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be using fb bc I need to pull away from it. It's wreckless, at best, for me. If I post here my thoughts, etc. I really wont need it anymore. I will keep it for business for sure, but personally.... ehhhhhhh.
10. Running. I'm in my second week getting into running. I can't believe it! I never thought I'd be a runner or like it. I'm still very new, but I am enjoying it more. I hope that it will last and that through it, I can regain my health, figure and free spiritedness.
So.... that's my top 10 (lately). I'll post more about more stuff later. Until then.
