My Fortress of Solitude.




     When I'm with other people my mind is often too preoccupied with whether or not I’m making a good impression to think about things of substance. When I’m alone I explore museums, and write songs, and make works of art. When I’m with other people all that is on my mind is what those people are thinking. Not to say spending time with others is not something I like to do. I love talking with people I've known for years or have just met and hearing about their lives; what they love and what they are facing at the time. But when I want to make something of consequence, and really get stuff done, I need to be alone. 

      I feel like my room really reflects who I am in that way. There's art and mess and stories everywhere. As an introvert, I actually like (and need) to spend time alone. I'm very thankful to have a place to clear my head that I can call my own.

      Where do you find solace? It could be a place but it could also be a person, a song, a religion. I'm genuinely curious. 

 Happy Saturday!
Ps. I dyed my hair.

I'm a simple woman. I like bearded brunette men and breakfast food. I also like 1,000 other things and my life consists of trying to figure out how to do all of it.

This blog is a compilation of all those attempts.
