the truth

Let me start out by saying, this isn’t meant to offend anyone. I miss Portland, and I miss a few people, but I’ve seemed to forgotten how sometimes they’re the biggest disappointments in my life....

right around the corner//i’ll never forget it

this summer is bringing quite a bit of change to my life, and while i’m excited, i will admit that the next 5 days are hanging over me like ominous clouds. i’m going to miss some irreplaceable...

the next five months

i’ll be living on Martha’s Vineyard. working, sun-bathing, and cooking around. i expect to have a few visitors from may through october, so make sure you can make a few days available for vineyard...

Downing manhattans is such a bad idea

plans and maps (head over heels)

i was vague in the last post, and that of course is one of my biggest pet peeves. clarification is always necessary (unless it’s for romantic mystery of course), so here goes exactly that. some...

shortly

i’ve decided to leave sooner rather than later. this town has only brought me down. i’d rather not submit to the depths of the depression i’ve been experiencing. mid-may marks my departure. i just...

—-also my heart is breaking over the end of cloak & dagger. i’ll miss it.

i guess it’s true what they say. all you have in life is yourself. i miss my friends. i miss my family. but i need to get away. where to go, where to go, where to go? somewhere to find myself....

people

i don’t understand them. and i’m starting to lose all interest in human interactions for the sole purpose of not getting hurt. am i crazy? can’t i be in phu giao yet? at the same time, i love...

in all truth

it’s been a crazy start to 2013. with the launch of my new pop-up, the chinese laundry, a manhattan cloak and dagger on the horizon, and searching for a new job, things have been slightly...

sinking

In it

This january is making me so blue & I am so tired. Saddened and lonely. Ready for sunshine and feeling whole again.

rain

i struggle to find any truth in your lies.

Just a tidbit

It’s nearing the holidays, and while I’m excited I find myself thinking constantly of other events in the near future. The start of the Chinese laundry in addition to cloak and dagger’s manhattan...

I’m not so sure anymore. Welcome back indifference.

The truth

sometimes it’s like and sometimes it’s hate- to wax and wane; it seems better not to care

searching

i’ve been hiding in my own world for quite some time- for good and bad reasons, but that soon shall end. the early fall has diminished, and now i’m finding myself in cold weather, grey skies, and...

It’s been ages

I’m alive and well. It’s been a while since I’ve last written- but it’s only because I’ve been consumed with my new life. A new apartment, a new job, the crunching of leaves beneath my feet- cloak...

deafening

it’s sad to think that august is over. that the summer is closing to an end. i haven’t had such a low-key, solid summer in years, and was more than pleased to experience that over the past few...

ahhh— happy, angry; all of it.half of portland deserves a huge: fuck you. (esp deux garcons qui sont bites– oui, cassez-vous)while there remain a few that i thoroughly enjoy. thanks for the...

find yourself underground

July has gone by so quickly. In complete honesty, it’s been an insane month. So much has happened– most things being good, but some bad. I’m currently running on very little sleep and am...

i’ll admit

the past few weeks have been very interesting to say the very least. there has been a lot of change that has taken place- most of which is good. a new job, new friends, new adventures. i’m...

laying in the snow

today, nothing went as planned. but maybe that was the plan? sometimes i’d love to disappear.

as we cross the line

i’ve been pleased, i’ve been irritated, and now, i’m ok with being ok. there’s a fair amount that’s making me happy. even undercooked sweetbreads. and all nighters. it’s summer, so here are my...

this is not a drawback

I’m pleased with what the past week has rendered. Sunshine, physical fitness, pleasant meals, enriching conversations, new books, new and odd opportunities, comfort that is rarely felt. Plans, new...

enchante liberte

things are changing, and i couldn’t be more pleased. i’ve only been met with pleasant interactions in the past two weeks- some minor (though antagonizing) frustration for a relatively small period...

rainy dayz

what my week has consisted of: + a kickass beach day

it’s only just begun

reflections whilst in vietnam There’s nothing better than the scent of Vietnam- a mixture of monsoon winds and rain, rotting vegetables, thick clouds of cigarette smoke, daylight humidity, the...

shiiiiiit! so good.

seule vie

it’s been two weeks since i’ve arrived in my homeland, and i can’t even begin to convey how beautiful everything is. from the greetings i received from family members whom i’d never met, to the...
