03.20.17: nostalgia and nausea


Plane rides make me sick. 

The nauseous feeling from landing and taking off, plus the nostalgia of even coming home is what I hate the most. 

The nostalgia which overcomes me is mostly from new changes that happen in my home or in the city. 

Every trip I take home, someone in my family has either possessed something new, learned a skill, achieved a higher job position, found a new partner, or even had some tragic accident. 

Change is what I hate the most you can say, so when I realize the changes that have happened at home.... I freak out.




Obviously, not jumping off of a 22 story building freaking out 

but

 more of an internal screech freaking out. 






The change I have noticed this home visit is me.

I'm going through a lot of change in my life.
Most of it being physical such as attending a new school in the fall, moving homes (for the 892784th time), and seeking a new job.

Stressful? yes.

Is it something I want? yes. 

The emotions that are present while I prepare myself for the changes in the upcoming months is what makes everything 2001830x harder. 








Yet, emotions is what pushes every human to make decisions so should I really be hating? lol

Overtime, emotions tend to ease out so hopefully when time comes to say bye to my chicas it won't end up in sad tears but happy tears.

Hmmmm, i'm going to end this post here. 


A mind pedito has possessed all of my brain functions so I have writers block now, ugh.

03.06.17: "the world doesn't give a duck about you, sht happens"


"You are too ... scholarly"

"You need to be relatable, literary queen."


These exact words were said by my news writing professor, Roland. 

And...

He is honestly right. 

I find myself using references from the readings which I do for all my classes in everyday communication. 

Sometimes it makes me feel douchey or snobby because who would reference a Marx or Nietzsche piece at a party or at a friend get together.

no one??????????? 





I've mentioned to my friends that I will stop talking when these sentence starters escape my mouth:

"So... according to..."

or 

"But really this is similar to..."

References of these sorts burn out the conversations sometimes. 

I hate that.

Therefore, I decided to use all the literary juices in me to start journaling again. A little conversation between me, myself, and I.
A socratic seminar (lol). 



Creating playlists about the topics i'm passionate about at the moment help release the juices of my literary knowledge too. 


Fun! 


A recognition of my "literary" self has made me learn more about myself. The thought process I have in relating certain ideas of these scholars, indicates a connection to them.

I learn more of what I like and believe in. 


A trip to SFMOMA this past weekend made me realize how much I admire photography and the abstract meanings behind a picture. I related even some photography with the concept of sexuality and gender. A topic that has been on my mind 24/7. 

I blame the fact that i'm taking two classes and 60+ pages is required for reading in each class. 

which....

in all honesty...

isn't bad. I really like it.

A couple with different desires in prolonging the observation of photography.
