platinum & diamond.

He asked me on our anniversary; on one knee, under the stars on the capitol lawn where we had our first date. :3 It’s the exact Satomi Kawakita ring I wanted; elegantly understated, dainty, and most importantly small enough to keep me from hurting myself.

Note to self or to anyone who feels this might apply…

When you complain/worry, be content to have the luxury of even considering those things. No, I’m not saying to “count your blessings,” I mean that you should probably realize what a spoiled piece of shit you sound like.

I can’t stop daydreaming … I don’t think I’ll have this any time soon but I can’t stop wishing for my house. Maybe it’s because I’m stuck at home more often now. Maybe I’ll put together mood boards for each room like this one for kitchen/dining. The kitchen is the most important part to me because I’d like nothing more than to be able to have people over and we can make fun things in the kitchen together and just hang out and eat/drink. Secondly to that, I’d like a lovely outside area, especially since Austin’s weather allows for that 90% of the year. Every other part of the house would be fairly open and minimal because I’d rather not spend a lot of time doing nothing … I have a really hard time doing that in the first place.  One day…

A little collection of memories from 2006 I miss the feeling of hope for the future I had those days, like I could accomplish anything. Why do I feel differently now? I still enjoy reading in coffee shops and doodling stupid things in the grass. That trip to Boston, however insignificant it might have seemed back then, continues to reintroduce itself to me to this day. I decided on a whim to attend a conference, alone, in a city I’ve never been to before because I saw an ad in a magazine sprinkled with illustrations of teapots and typography; kind of random. It was one of those acts of mini-rebellions I go through every few years; like my random 2-week trip to NY when I was 17 and my most recent 1-month escape to Seattle. I seem to always take off by myself with no real objective. Hmm…but every trip has had the reward of meeting the most amazing people who stay in my life for years and even if we lose touch, the lessons I learned from those experiences and adventures live on with me. And I miss Monica! And our coffee dates and discussions of what we would become in the future. Are we where we thought we would be today? What have we lost and what have we gained? What have we kept and how have we changed?

Please don’t tell me you’ll do something for me and then fail to deliver. Just don’t bother telling me about it at all so I don’t waste my time waiting and inevitably being disappointed. Sure intentions matter, but if you don’t have the means to do it why mention the idea and create friction that shouldn’t exist?
