random bus thoughts
In something like design, I think it’s more that we’re taught things to consider than things to strictly follow. Nothing is absolute, so I should be aware to play as I wish and never lose the intuition that got me started in the first place. Observing my classmates and I (remembering the past as well as how we are today), it seems that we all felt that we were fed absolute rules and we...

vacation rentals FTW
This trip would not have been as awesome without a vacation rental. I have my own apartment! That means I have a key. I don’t have to greet anyone when I come home or run into other random travelers on my way to my room. I can cook myself food or throw my leftovers in the fridge. I can do my laundry. I can lie in bed all day or on the couch or sit in the sun-bathed kitchen and drink coffee...

I had a lot of deep conversations last night and I really appreciate all of you who helped me see things more clearly and ease my nerves. I don’t know where I’d be without your endless support and patience.
