Thinking about my sixteen yourself.

Aug 25, 2010 14:32

Today is my first day "home" in over a month.

I'm looking at my first piece of work I made at BOCES in my Fashion/Interior design program. I'm thinking, at age sixteen I knew exactly who I was, my potential, and how I would spend the rest of my life.

We were told to make a collage (my favorite form of self-expression) and interpret four phrases or words that describe ourselves.

My choice words/phrases were: care-free, open-minded, focused, and hopeful.

These phrases still apply today with the exception of care-free. I care a lot. I care too much about everything.

I also incorporated "It's all about options..." with marriage crossed out.

Today, four years later, I can't wait to get married and have a family. I have so much love to give.

At the bottom, I have stick figures of Eric (my on and off boyfriend of now five years) and I with bubbles above our heads. Me saying, "Hey baby, open your mind" and him responding, "It is open".

This was something said. This is still a struggle I have with Eric.

I am so curious about everything and want to obtain as much knowledge as I can. Sometimes, I find myself with Eric and I'm drawn to something and he immediately pulls me back.

This is my biggest problem with Eric. He restricts me from finding out things for myself...

In the top right corner I had "Expose The Truth", a quote from a Breast Cancer Campaign. Breast Cancer didn't affect me then, it still doesn't really today, but, I'm all about the truth between people. It bothers me so much how people can't be honest with one another. It would make things easier, it would prevent people from wasting time.

I already waste my own time, I don't need to waste my time on others. If you're not into my friendship, say it.
