Growth
“you have to allow yourself to break apart, that’s the only way you’re going to know what you are made of. Let yourself go. Let yourself fall. Let yourself drown. Let yourself shatter. And above all, let yourself get hurt. Do all these things and know…. you have really know your demons to defeat them. Befriend them. Love them and walk with them. That’s the only way you’re going to grow.”
Day 354

And now I rest no stress in the holy name
All fears and my tears, I give it all away
I play like a child of the earth” – TH

Off the Grid

Day 1
"You are never going to be 100% ready and it's never going to be just the right time, but that's the point. It means that every moment is also the right moment. If you want it, you just have to do it."
One Last Mix Tape for 2016
In my popular culture class we once discussed how music is or can be the social glue that holds society together. After pondering this for a while, I've found this to be true. As I've spent time packing and reorganizing my items these last few months, I would frequently find old CD's and mixtapes and pop them in.
Gender Separation
A bit of a huge tackle to take on for my second blog post, but I’ve wanted this on paper for a while now. Always taking things to an abstract level, I wanted to dig a little deeper into this topic.
