When we are born, we know nothing of the world. Little by little outlines become sharper, we learn to see the red of our tongues, the blue of our sky. We realize that humans, like the fireflies we cup in our palms as kids, are not infinite, and we wonder: what are we living for?
I lived for the memory of my father’s silhouette appearing at the door, for beautiful and sad words strung...

"My heart is weak and unreliable."
“My heart is weak and unreliable. When I go it will be my heart. I try to burden it as little as possible. If something is going to have an impact, I direct it elsewhere. My gut for example, or my lungs, which might seize up for a moment but have never yet failed to take another breath. When I pass a mirror and catch a glimpse of myself, or I’m at the bus stop and some kids come up...

A Life Lesson

revenais:
When I was only 15 years old, I received some of the best advice of my life:
“Draw big. Then scale it down.”
Hands are never perfectly steady. There will always be those shakes, those times where your hand just slips out of control or you can’t concentrate. So draw as large as you can. Then make it smaller.
Hope that no one sees all those tiny mistakes. Those...

These Things
these things that we support most well have nothing to do with up, and we do with them out of boredom or fear or money or cracked intelligence; our circle and our candle of light being small, so small we cannot bear it, we heave out with Idea and lose the Center: all wax without the wick, and we see names that once meant wisdom, like signs into ghost towns, and only the graves are...

My mom was so excited when she took me the first time to this Vietnamese night club in Westminster. She goes there often with her friends.
While snacking on some food and waiting for the music to come on… Mom:This place is soooo good, they play live music, and they even play the rape music.” Me: What’s rape music Mom? Mom:You know the dance music, I like dancing to the rape music. We can dance...

From the Esty Blog; Gift Guide for the Broken Ones.
“There’s a moment we’ve lost, historians say, when we turned away from thinking things could be improved through action and art and instead began to rely on psychic realignment — as though what’s making us unhappy is ourselves, and not the failing structures of this vicious unrelenting world.”
“For you’re the reason...

Recently I’ve had many debates and discussions about the concept of work, money and human nature. I realize that no matter what I say that ultimately it’s too scary to think that there’s something wrong with our world and that it’s up to us to do something about it. Instead, it is easier to leave it to the next generation, to just try to survive by the rules of our...

Did you guys know that the bar soap you buy is not really real soap unless it says “soap?” Certain brands use the term “beauty bar” or “cleansing bar” but if it doesn’t say soap, it’s not really soap but a detergent (which strips your skin of the natural oils your skin produces that is actually GOOD for you).
I made some real soap yesterday night!!...
