you've probably noticed i haven't posted in awhile

that's because i haven't been feeling very TBF lately. i haven't been feeling much of anything, besides anxiety and sadness. *insert debbie downer noise* those are feelings i don't want to be spreading around, so things have been quiet here, and will probably stay that way for awhile.

this is not to say that TBF is dead. oh, no. TBF is alive and well in the world, and for that i am thankful! i want to encourage everyone to remain tacky AND fabulous. i'll be back when i can say i'm feeling the same.

don't worry, friends. i'm just taking a little break. a little me time. and really, that's kind of TBF in and of itself.

Sunday Secrets, Volume 1

1. i feel like a failure because i am okay with being single.

2. i don't think i will ever fall in love.

3. because i don't know how to love myself.

4. i don't understand how people can go on a diet where they can't eat carbs. carbs are my lifeblood.

5. any time i make a list, it has to have an odd number of items on it.

6. to demonstrate, i have added a sixth item to this list.

7. and i could not bring myself to click "publish post" until i added a seventh.

webcam vanity, TBF style

sometimes, i'm capable of looking like a nice, well-put-together, semi-stylish human being.

and sometimes i even wake up early enough to actually straighten my hair and put on makeup before work!

but most of the time i look like this.

try to contain yourselves, boys! there's plenty of this to go around. ::WINK::

the result of a gorgeous sunny day


the blue one is a lyric from "the beauty is" from the light in the piazza for my friend rachael.
the purple one is a quote from a fabulous dancer named courtney galiano for my friend sarah.

i like being able to make things, even if they aren't perfect.
i like being able to share things i make with my friends, who love me even though i'm not perfect.

painting

i get the urge to paint a lot.
i am not a painter.
i am too much of a perfectionist and not enough of an artist.
painting is one of the few things that simultaneously stresses me out and calms me down.
any time i put paint to canvas i end up worrying about how imperfect the end result looks.
but i think that the imperfections are what make my paintings beautiful.
and isn't that really true for everything in life?
