life is a blob
Life is a blob. It is an amalgamation of many different definitions and reasons and questions. And the blob changes continuously for each individual, a metamorphosis without clear stages. The blob will digest you slowly, suffocating you, or the blob will meet your feet like a buoyant trampoline. Sometimes we become lost in the blob, and it morphs into something hideous and terrifying; it adopts the same consistency as bubble gum. And sometimes we allow it to become something grotesque; we allow it to swallow us whole, apathy and all.
How can a blob have any beauty?
How can a blob “blobbier” than a blobfish have any beauty?
I appreciate the blob, even despite its mess. I appreciate all of its colors and textures and emotion. I think that the blob is beautiful (although not as beautiful as a blobfish).
I know that saying this alludes to me loving the blob, but I do not, in fact, love the blob. I do believe, however, that the blog deserves care and respect.

random rant
Why do we expect life to be linear? Perfect lines do not exist in nature. I feel that it is important to not fight the currents of effect; I feel that it is important to trust the waters of existence, to allow yourself to be shaped by the waves.
Have a little faith in chance and find comfort in the fact that we can not control where we end up.
some of my reasons (just…reasons)
- Coffee
- Seven in the morning: in front of my window, watching the sky (drained of color); running down flights of stairs or slouching in the elevator; always in a hurry.
- Nearing noon: discombobulated but rested; cartoons from the living room; voices; lazy, lazy, lazy; whipped cream and chocolate syrup; never warm because I oversleep. (thank you 🙂 )
- Ten in the morning: rocking chairs; cold air but warm sun; distant passing vehicles; still; peace.
- Whenever o’clock: coffee house?; fourth block?; lit. classes?; either a half-hearted attempt to stay awake or indulgence taking over.
- Oranges peeled on the way to class.
- Desk dinos
- Gifts

- Compliments

oh no…random spill
Please do not stress; write everything down and take it one step at a time. Eat while studying so that you can convince yourself that you are happy. Open your eyes every once in awhile; do not be afraid. Doubt will never be a stranger, so remember your accomplishments. Take your microwaved tacos down the stairs with you; never throw them away. Try not to ruin the mood of others because of something temporary; you will regret it. Do not say good bye when leaving; say you will see them later. Feel free to take two cupcakes. Feel free to stretch across a bench and stare up into the branches of a tree. Collect all of the dandelions you want, but never throw them away. You have time; you have time; you have time. Live intentionally; do not be afraid of living the life of a dreamer. Take risks with your art, and do not fall prey to barriers. Feel free to dance like a car dealership balloon, and do not forget how momentous the little things in life are. Draw all over your arm and wear that hideous 90’s shirt and know that courage is not completely without fear.

February = stress (& guacamole)

(I know…the truth hurts.)
Peace.
Loved your spill on not stressing. I’ve learned recently that stress comes and goes and it’s inevitable. The big part of this is that you can get through it. Loved this piece Callie Cat.
Velociraptors were just the scaly, kinda scary dogs of the Cretaceous period (also this was so fun to read! And strangely inspiring too!)
This is probably my FAVORITE blog post of yours. It was just YOU, and it was interesting to read and I felt like you reading it. It was so lighthearted and fun. I really enjoyed this 🙂
Wow, I love your selfie. Just kidding, but I like how we have both chosen to see the good things in life. Too many times people focus on the negatives. It’s no wonder so many people are in a bad mood. I have to watch myself, I tend to do it too.
