inside kiddo heart

my vessel and being is based almost entirely on emotion.
of course, intelligent thought is fully present; however, emotion appears to be dominant.
i feel emotion in everything.
..especially in such things as music. film. poetry. and art.
i'm a sucker for sad things.
not too sure why. perhaps, i relate too much.
i also find sad things to be so beautiful.
like a dark haired girl, alone in the rain, holding a single red rose.
something like that.
and piano music.
i love the serenity and solemness it can imply..

i'm also a hopeless romantic.
..even though i do not show it very much.
i have always thought of the most romantic thing to be:
2 long lost loves who find each other in places like london, paris, or tokyo.
and it has been so long; and they hold each other tightly, and kiss each other, as the city lights create a glowing silhouette of the reunited duo.

these are things that get me.
and i love it.

New Year's Resolutions

some believe it to be important and/or useful to make new year's resolutions. i am one of them.

i see it as an official, declarative way to make some life-changing and self-improving goals.

The only tricky part is staying accountable, and sticking with the goals and plans laid out. 

here is what i have thought of:

1. make at least 2 new pieces of artwork each week. (i figure the larger the portfolio, the better)

2. find and apply/participate in as many indie craft shows as possible (selling prints, and ultimately gaining more exposure with each show)

3. hang around more inspiring peeps- those who inspire me more in art, life, and philosophies (i expect this to keep me motivated and excited to keep making more art, and establish healthy friendships)

4. definitely write more, ...more journal entries (about ideas, thoughts, things i have seen, things i plan on seeing and doing, etc)

5. encourage and inspire others to do their best, just as i plan on doing my best at what i love

i know i can keep these resolutions, and i will make double-sure that i keep them!
