i drew some whales. i love whales.
it was a video series called ‘the voyage of the mimi’. its purpose was to educate kids on sea life, whales in particular, by taking us aboard the ship named ‘mimi’. i was in the 5th grade and all i cared about was the cute boy who starred in these videos. he was probably about 12 or so. (i would later find out that this dream boat was a then undiscovered ben affleck). cute boy aside, the voyage of the mimi was responsible for my fascination with whales. killer whales were my favorite. mostly because they looked the coolest. and i was good at drawing them. we drew life sized portrayals of our favorite whales with sidewalk chalk out in front of the school for one of our assignments. my group did the killer whale and it was probably the best drawing in the class.
thanks to the voyage of the mimi i have to go whale watching before i die. and i also still think ben affleck is a dream boat.
yes. just.. a whole lotta YES. <3
this is pure beauty.
i had nothing to lose and nothing to prove
my heart was never made of muscle
but soft strings all delicately placed next to one another
each holding the other up
each stronger because of the other
i had nothing to give you
nothing but what i had and what i had was you
you made me feel you made me not feel
you made me
stronger than i thought
like sinews
holding each other together
never breaking but always bending
i had so much fun this weekend at the ruined summer zine release party! such an amazing group of extremely talented people. i look forward to collaborating with them on future projects and mad partying. <3

summer is coming.. <3
drew some stuff today. felt good.
i miss writing. i cant seem to get anything out. i feel.. uninspired. not myself. yet desirous of everything. i want to be everything; to do everything. but it’s hard with all my limbs feeling so heavy.. all this nothing, all this something just piling up inside of them with no way out. just something.. pull me, peel me. i want to feel the pounding sensation of my heart against the open air..
