Thought of the Day

Never put all your marbles in one basket. As much as we may plan for something to go a certain way, life doesn't always workout accordingly. We have to prepare for the good that we anticipated but also the unexpected

Thought of the Day

‎​When you make choices that are a product of your thoughts and feelings, its like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. True happiness is achieved when you do for self.

Exploded Thought of the Day

This week I concluded that my life as a college student is more unbalanced than a checkbook. Everything overlaps, and its almost too difficult to remember what task was for what class, student organizations, work and outside activities. But as a college student, I also have to realize that I am an adult and have adult responsibilities and they're there will be times that I will be faced with tough choices. And yep, these too will require adult decisions.

Over the past couple of days, I've had to face the facts that I'm no super woman. So I've prioritized for the remainder of the semester with what will really aid in me becoming the person that I truly aim to be. Look forward to most updated including writings about art, design, community development and my personal projects.

Here's an excert from my current read, Maya Lin's Systematic Landscapes:

"Experience is compounded of feeling and thought. Human feeling is not a succession of discrete sensations; rather memory and anticipation are able to weild sensory impacts into a shifting stream of experience so that we may speak of a life of feeling as we do of a life of thought. It is a common tendency to regard feeling and thought as opposed, the one registering subjective states, the other reporting on objective reality. In fact, they lie near the two ends of an experimental continuum, and both are ways of knowing." -Yi-Fu Tuan

Thought of the Day

Thought of the Day: Focusing too much on the big picture may hinder it from reaching our grasp. We don't just make it to the big screen w/o taking the necessary steps to get there. We have to be able to tame our farsighted & focus on the process. W/o process, progress may never live.

Thought of the Day

Thought of the Day: As much as we may hate to admit, we can't wait for the present because its already here. But as real as it is, time waits for not even the royalist of kings. How long will you sleep with the light on before you realize you're only burning electricity?

Thought of the Day

Thought of the Day: You essentially lose a sense of who you are if you try to forget where you've been. How else will you know where you're going? These things about you are points on a road map guiding you to your destination. Don't scratch them in fear of how you'll be perceived.

Thought of the Day

‎​Thought of the Day: We can't expect everyone to understand what we may have had to endure to get to this point of our lives. Struggle isn't to be sympathized with, but admired anyway. All people can see is the now; what strength looks like. Maybe that is enough.
