wednesdays are for:
waking up coughing up gross substances. having a cigarette for breakfast. trying to look as sexy as possible and realizing you have no sexy clothes. pretending you don’t fart or shit around a lover. having a cheese burger at a place where old men come to banter. keeping secrets. trying to figure out if you are jaded or aware that this is just the way things are. realizing you’re...

mondays are for:
art journals. the realization that you and your ex boyfriend are actually friends and can discuss the awkward moments between new potential lovers. goat curry roti. an over due stoned nap. wearing a well made but cheap new top. missing the UPS man, again. an overcast sky grey with doubt.

two years ago i was in thesis trying to make sense of myself and my art work. the only thing that had kept me sane that year was weed and completing pages like the one above in my sketchbook. it may have been one of my most visually interesting books up to date integrating materials such as acrylic paints, homemade paper, ink, markers, etc. i have more to share later.

this block has been bugging me for...

“he probably was. Your problem is you don’t understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and...

therealkatiewest:
Lately I’ve been feeling really discouraged by certain events. These events have made me question my actions and my choices - which is fine, all things can stand for a little questioning. But sometimes I get discouraged that these things are making me think I have to answer to someone for what I do. I found something a woman wrote about me today that said
