“With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knowers, and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be.” 

― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“Are you happy?" she said.

 "Am I what?" he cried

. But she was gone- running in the moonlight. 

Her front door shut gently.” 

-Ray   Bradbury 

“Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.” 
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

I, with help from my mom, have come to realize how much I spend my time in a factory made life. I get so selfishly caught up in the media world that I forget that there is so much more to life than what you see and do on the Internet. I get stuck inspiring myself online that I don't leave time to pursue the dreams while the day lasts. And most of all I don't spend enough time with my family.
It's going to be hard to get out of the habit of escaping into my little world, but don't want to do that anymore so I am going to try hard to limit my time on the Internet and be more productive.

just my thoughts lately :)
much love

in pastel

(my) book of pastels.

mom just gave me this little sketchbook and i’m filling it with pastel drawings and things on my mind. you know how it makes some people feel better when they write about something that’s bothering them or a feeling they have? well, i prefer to draw my mood instead of write it. for example: if i’m in a melancholy mood then i draw something that has a melancholy feel to it. it makes me feel much better. i know that might sound weird, but that’s me :/

-embracing life-

life is so unpredictable, and sometimes that's what makes it hard to live. but i am learning to embrace life as it comes, and to be calm and patient when unexpected things happen. 

i want to live a life where i think of things that happen as a lesson, or an adventure. instead of stressing out over things and becoming impatient. i want follow the life that God set before me even if it's hard.

much love
