i hate the cliche, but hindsight is 20/20.
i was skinny when i didn't know, or think i was.
i was clever and a great writer when i thought i was just beginning.
i had an amazing weekend when all i was doing was looking to the next one.
but for the first time, i'm no longer looking back, saying, "Wow that was amazing" "life should be more like that"
i'm optimistic. yes. me. optimistic.
i'm dying to meet someone that stimulates the artist in me again.
sherry brought me out of my shell to the music and poetry world.
then seth and lindsay created pleasebeautyplease with me.
and then college and workshops helped.
chicago was amazingly life-changing in itself.
but what do i have now?
shitty workshops and dreary toledo that makes me depressed.
there is no life in this city. everyone's baggage sticks to my entire creative process.
i'm afraid to leave the house because it is so heavy outside.
no wonder people get fat here so easily; they're scared of the elements.
