Introverted excavator.


Excerpt:
I am a connoisseur of beautiful places, just around the corner. I am working on being the best person I can be, always. Sometimes I come up short, but I'm learning to be kinder to myself. I am an artist by nature. Life is hard sometimes, but I love it. I like taking pictures, playing music, writing poems, jumping rope, and writing strange things in sidewalk chalk. I study psychology, philosophy, metaphysics, nutrition, medicine, and music. Sometimes I pretend I am a dancer. Sometimes I pretend this planet makes sense to me. I need to do the following activities more: read books, exercise, connect with others, love myself. Things other people say I am: Deep, Intelligent, Intellectual, Sensitive, Artsy, Creative, Insightful, Moody, Temperamental, Passionate, Determined, Delicate, Analytical, Different, Difficult, Perfectionist, Strong, Brave, Weird, Unique, Kind. I'm learning to be as much in my heart as I am in my head. My inner world is beautiful. I am driven to create in hopes of communicating even a small piece of it to the world outside of me.

Graphic by N. Cole


I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

~Frank Herbert


"How frail the human heart must be --a mirrored pool of thought...” ~Sylvia Plath
