Fear makes us do horrible things,
and I’m scared that after all these efforts,
I am going to end up unhappy.
Unsatisfied.
Then I’ll end up lashing out in frustration.

I know myself better than anyone else.
But I’m tired.
I’m exhausted. 

Every color illuminates when I hear your name.

Lessons in a semester

Perfection is possible
Love is a mental illness
You’d forgive more if you knew the truth
Never settle
I’m not crazy.

I think I was forty before I realized that almost every writer of fiction and poetry who has ever published a line has been accused by someone of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose) someone will try to make you feel lousy about it.

—Stephen King, On Writing (via nickmiller)

When you work a long time on something really intricate like that, there’s a hope that people are gonna understand the things that you did . And actually, some of the most demoralizing things were positive reviews. They say what’s good [about the work] and in many cases, it would just be the very surface understanding that didn’t even see what I thought was most special about it. Not that many people understood, and that was heartbreaking.

—Jonathan Blow

Yup. This just happened. Great things are happening when I believe in my dreams and talents! I am extremely grateful to have supportive professors and an encouraging committee. *happy dance*
