darkeningx:

What a wild weekend. A couple days ago, one of my favorite people and I packed our bags and decided we wanted to escape Texas for awhile. We picked Colorado and 2 hours later we were North West bound. We might have ran out of money and bathed in a lake, and slept under the sky, brushed our teeth in public bathrooms and lived on pop-tarts and good vibes, but the freedom and poetry of the mountains was well worth any trivial discomfort, and I believe it was just what I needed. If you want to do something, do it. If you want to witness something beautiful, don’t think about it, just go. You will be very happy that you did.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Reenactments

This was my final I ended up doing for my digital photo course last semester. Rayne and I collaborated to recreate scenes from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Basically for the assignment I was allowed to do whatever I wanted I just had to reference another’s photographer’s work, of which I found Amy Friend. Amy was this woman who found old vintage photographs and would poke holes into them to give them life again. So I took her technique and mixed it with my project so the holes are meant to help the concept of forgetting the memories, the holes are the literal sunshine coming through erasing them. One of my most successful projects to date, now I just need to make one for Vanilla Sky.

“

I stayed in bed for over an hour
looked at things on my phone
I felt slightly anxious about nothing particular
I walked downstairs and poured coffee into a jar
I asked a person on the internet if I should take drugs
I took drugs before the person had time to respond

I feel alienated by people who express concern about me without
defining their concern in terms of a specific solution or goal
I dont feel comforted by the idea of an afterlife
I dont want to continue experiencing things after I die
I want someone to pull my hair because I like the idea of someone
controlling my head without touching my head

what is the difference between being an independent person
and being a person who is accepting of loneliness
