THIS SONG = MY BEST FRIEND AND I.
This has always been our song, and we’ve had moments like this video while listening to this song. But how have we never seen this video of them going through all of the exact memories of us listening to their song?
MINDBLOWNCRYING.
I can’t decide what to do next with this one. It looks empty.
A James Blake mood study.
For this, I put on my Sennheiser headphones in order to really block out the world and focus on the sounds. I play the same James Blake song on repeat. I let the song sink in deep as I start to draw, not knowing where it will take me. In this state, I think of absolutely nothing. The music is in control. Essentially, I am putting myself into a darker place in an effort to express an emotion music expressed better than I ever could. I channeled so much of it that I almost cried while drawing her.
Release… Relief.

Chances are, I have written about you, at one point or another.
After not seeing these two for nearly a year and a half, Take and Erin, like the angels they are, always somehow swoop back into my life exactly when I need them. Take, in particular, has said many incredibly insightful words to me over the years that I can safely say have helped shape a great deal of my beliefs and philosophies. This is not the first time he has been quoted in this blog, and it won’t be his last.
I am on cloud nine recalling the wise words from Take’s mouth tonight. This line impacted me so much that I immediately wrote it down on my phone: “There is a cycle that everyone is in, and the only way to break that cycle is through forgiveness. You have to forgive yourself. Be okay with where you are, accept it, and forgive it.” For where I am right now in my state of mind, for where I may always be, for where I always come back to time and time again… I needed to hear this. I may forever be in a cycle, but I must accept it and forgive it. Most of all, I must forgive myself for it.
Thank you, Take and Erin. Always.
I am on a sort of crossroads in my life and I can do without that. I can feel the attraction but I can also keep myself apart. I admire beauty more than anything else but now I don’t feel I must possess it. The ideal man or woman doesn’t exist. When you look for something you are not really looking for a man or a woman. You are looking for someone who awakes something which is buried inside you and once that person does it you become familiar and you always want that and then you stay with that person. But two people who are in love are not in love just with each other. There is a third element intermingled and that third element is an ideal. Both must love the same ideal and that is what they have to share. If that doesn’t exist, then it’s not love, it’s necessity.

On Easter Day, my mom walked up to me as I sat on the couch and asked if she could pray for me. She sat down and took both my hands in hers, holding as tightly as possible. As soon as she started praying, I burst into tears, sobbing violently through the entire prayer. My dog, Sadie, who had been wandering and playing on her own, suddenly stopped what she was doing and jumped right into my lap. She sat still in my lap and patiently listened to us—my mom’s prayer and my sobbing—as if she knew how important that moment was for me. She lowered her head as if to tell me, “I’m here too, Sharon. We love you.”
