Positivity Fridays: What a week.

This week happened? Really?
Because I don’t remember it happening. But the calendar says its Friday, so let’s get started.
Warning: It’s been a crazy week, so this is gonna be long.
Awesome Thing #1: My friend George!
George, as I described earlier this week, is an awesome friend. He totally helped me out this week by getting my [...]

Learning to be me, one day at a time.

I talked about money issues the other day. In my attempt to resolve them, I decided to borrow some money books from the library. Turns out they really got me thinking about my journey the past year and so I thought I’d share my thoughts with you here.

So you know how I said the other [...]

The drought is over. Finally.

For the past few months I’ve had a creative dry spell. If you’re an artist, you know what I’m talking about. For me, I’ve been stuck on the painting of my best friend, as well as a couple of others. But months were going by and I wasn’t finishing anything. I felt like I was [...]

I fell for the starving artist myth, hook, line and sinker.

I have a weird problem. It’s not even a problem really. I don’t know what I’d call it. Let me attempt to explain.
I can find opportunities galore. I don’t know why, but I just have to breathe and I get opportunities, especially related to my art. I make friends easily, and I have this rather [...]

Positivity Fridays: A New Tradition! (Because I just complain too much.)

Welcome to the first ever edition of Positivity Fridays.
I realized last night that I spend far too much time complaining on this blog, and being negative and feeling stuck. Which is all well and good, because that’s just where I am right now. But I’m never going to get out of that, unless I start [...]

Don’t even bother reading this. It’s just me complaining for 803 words.

This morning, I have run out of patience with myself.
I am tired of hearing myself say I’m stuck. I don’t want to be stuck anymore. I don’t want to talk about being stuck anymore. I just want to be un-stuck. And for everything to be okay again.
This whole, “I feel like a frigging doormat” thing [...]

Ooh, I’m stuckity stuck stuck stuck.

If you’re gonna be stuck, you might as well make it into a weird rhyming thingy.
I am still feeling uncomfortable, and out of touch with my own identity. I constantly come back to the same pattern – feeling stuck, specifically in the mind of a 12 year old. I feel like I got benched during [...]

Ick, I feel small.

My ex, the emotionally abusive one, apparently just got an audition to model for Abercrombie and Fitch.
I know it shouldn’t bother me, but it does. A lot.
I feel like, he left me, and made me feel like crap about myself, and then went off to have multiple girlfriends, and now, he’s a model, and been [...]

Free shipping.

Anywhere in North America. Because I love you.
Buy any painting this Christmas, and I will ship it to you, by Christmas, anywhere in North America. Guaranteed.
Because shipping is ridiculously expensive. And a pain in the ass when you’re buying online. Because you think, “Oh, this only costs “x” amount of dollars. I can afford [...]

Oh my god, I’m setting goals. Somebody tell CNN.

Ever have one of those weeks, where you get to the end of it, and you were totally busy all week, but you’re not exactly sure doing what?  Like, somehow you’ve lost focus?
That was my week. I feel like I was really busy all week, getting stuff done, and today I woke up, and was [...]
