Arizona feels like a second home to me. I've decended into this valley

maybe 7 times in my life

But walking into my aunt's house and missing the person

who's always been around these people with me, every time

was just so shocking.

My uncle IS my dad, and my aunt is much of him as well

i don't know if i've ever felt so alone.

i have 6 more days here, i hope i can do it

I'm applying for a summer study abroad painting program in Ireland for 4 weeks in June.

I'd die to have this.

I had taken these photos a few months ago of this sort of foil paper and its reflections on my wall at home. I should put them on my flickr for better quality.

well that was a nice 5 seconds of happiness.

most recent painting

oil on raw canvas

I've realized that I'm surrounded by people all the time at purchase

I'm rarely ever alone

it's a nice deviation from the nearly 21 years I'd spent by myself at home

you don't understand how insignificant life is

until you watch somebody die
