LIVE LIVE LIVE!!!

this is the way I need to wake.
open my eyes, i see sky.

today I will:
go to class at 11,
I will attend the public discussion about a health reform  at 6.
in between I will clean,
I will dance,
and I will sing.
Afterwards, I will throw jack-o-lanterns off of a bridge
with Jai and Amiet,
and then we will frolic and choose to abandon "Movie Night"
because we have decided!
to no longer spend all of our time as tele-zombies (even when planned.)
and instead! We will live,
live,
live.

i sit here.
amiet is asleep, takisan purring beside me.
and yet i search for more,
inevitably him.

all i want to do is travel, attend a variety of universities, and learn about the history of art.

it is 3:14 am in Provo, Utah

My stomach is churning.
and my brain is fried from all the studying and awake-ness.
my body aches. especially my head.
i enjoy being so clean and organized lately,
but tonight i got inspired.
and driven to complete this piece! i could not find materials.
i did not have memorabilia 
and collected magazines and
materials to console.
i couldnt find my pastels or charcoal.
and so i was left to express myself via blog.
=/


knowledge is whirling around my brain.
errruughhhhhh...

i want to be selfish

i want to to live in a place like San Francisco
and be able to afford coffee every morning.
i want to dress in adorable put together outfits that i haven't had for at least four years.
i want loads of socks.
i want printed tights.
i want oil paint and gesso and canvas.
i want a chamou and the blackest of black charcoal
i want frames designed
just
for
me.
i want organization
and the confidence
to let go of
all of these things.
i want to be able to fly here and there
and see you every weekend.
i want to live in a shared apartment with different people, that i also
love and care about.
i want you then, and now.
i want fairy figurines galore
i want to re-decorate
i want to be brilliant
i want to succeed
i want to be happy just being.
i want to read and read and read whatever i want to.
i want to understand, or be okay with not understanding.
i want the peaks to become more familiar and consistent then the valleys.
i want a real human connection that doesn't scare the shit out of me, that doesnt come with any
strings that make it hurt
so
bad when they [or i] leave.
i want simplicity.
i want simple joy.
i want simple love.
i want simple relationships.
i want to be simply satisfied.
i want to want a simple means and simple end.
i want OUT of this cycle of me.
i want to be put together at all times.
i want long fucking hair.
i want to be taken care of.
i want to be worth something to society in the end.
i want to be able to hear colors.
i want to be gifted and recognized.
i want to fix everything with everyone and be able to really tell or show you how i feel, how you've affected me, and how much i utterly love you.
i want to be 15 again.
i want to be able to not fear these things, because it hasnt yet come time to face them.
i want to be selfish.

the night is ancient

and yet, my lungs 

are still filled with liquid.

and my throat,

my throat yearns to breathe.

i cannot willingly twitch a finger,

let alone take this fall

and feel....

justice. 

it is my birthday

and i suppose i am officially nineteen.

i 

(not because of the mark that is today, but because of my witness of life as of yet) 

clearly have an understanding of my past; have learned enough to piece together a currant understanding of my present; and have hopefully obtained the bravery to go forth into my future.

everyone currently within 2285 is is asleep, and i continue, after all these years of introspection, to feel unrecognized.

i enjoy this.

this birthday.... tradition.

of wallowing in my loneliness.

i wonder why that it?

it all seems so rehearsed,

another year.

another dictated amount of "time" to determine what my life means.

awwesome.

this is me, at my most honest.

one might say most weak,

one might say at my bravest.

say anything, because i've heard everything.
