"I'm broke but I'm happy / I'm poor but I'm kind / I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah / I'm high but I'm grounded / I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed / I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby" --alanis morrisette
im passionate about life in general. i normally take things easy, i know every thing happens for a reason. i used to daydream a lot until i got into art school. now im working my ass off to make it all a reality. my long stay in college has afforded me to explore the deep recesses of my being. and im nowhere near done trying to understand myself.
everyday there's a different me (i think). there is still a lot i havent done. a lot of times i like to be alone, sitting quietly and watching people and the world pass by. on other times, i like a long walk with friends talking about childhood fantasies and dreams of things yet to come. it's all under heaven. i miss dreaming. i should stop

what is life? this question i tried to answer years ago. i began to pore over my existence and acknowledged the little things that made life worth living. here's the list i wrote in 1999:

life is... - my little corner on the bed in the middle of the night with only my lamp on, listening to the whir of the electric fan and the buzz of the lamp's ballast- being with my family during...
