Quote of post: "This is my depressed stance. When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this."  - Charlie Brown

My Floating Balloon: Today my balloon has sadness, but not regular sadness. It has the sadness you feel towards yourself. The kind you get when you are depressed or feeling bad and you blame everything and everybody else for it. I don't feel this way often because I look at things in the view that it is always my fault. Which i guess is not very good either. However i see it as if something is wrong with me that is making me feel bad it may be because i have done something or have an effect on it, not anybody else. Anyway, i know that we have all probably blamed others for our feelings, and sometimes it should be blamed, but when it comes to sadness for yourself i believe that maybe you should step back and look at exactly what you are sad for. Sometimes you just need to look at it and get over it. I know that sounds bad, but it is true. Dont mourn for yourself. Just stop, think about something else and all that is great in your life and put on your happy face. :D <3 Thanks for reading.

Quote of post: "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." - Oscar Wilde

My Floating Balloon: Today my balloon has the world. Yes the world. So many people are shoved inside and are now floating up and through the rest of the universe. The world is huge. It has you. and me. and everyone you know and everyone you don't know. I think we forget sometimes that we are just one little person in this huge planet. One person that makes up almost nothing. And in time after we die we just may be forgotten. This is just truth. Not to scare. It is the truth. However we shouldn't let this get to us. The more things we do and the more life we live, the more likely in the future someone will remember us for who we were: Someone who was born. Someone who died. Someone who lived. <3 Thanks for reading!

1960's Metaphor

Music: Lullaby by Priscilla Ahn

Hey! So i got my computer fixed! Yay! so now i can post more often! but sadly my camera died and all i am left with is my webcam. sad face. I havent been taking photos of what i have been wearing but i will make sure to start again! All i have is this one:


Its just a huge white mens shirt (came in a pack for $5) black tights: drug store, jacket: wet seal $30 or something.....

For dance i was in i had to tease my hair because i was a lion. So i did that again to my hair and took some pictures


It was a lot bigger for the show

And moving on......

Into fashion.....

For dance again we had to do a decades project and our group got 60's. When i was researching i came across some pretty swell pictures.






I just love so deeply the fashion of the 1960's. Hehe. It was just so....classic and amazing you know? anyway. The first picture demonstrates modernists of the time. Those who kept up with the time...in fashion anyway. The 2nd from the left is wearing a dress that looks exactly like a dress i have. Or i guess it would be the other way around. anyway look in my past posts to find it. The next three pictures show Mary Quants mini skirt and dresses that first came out during the time. Love love love. And the last is an ad from Emilio Pucci. The color is amazing.

Quote it: "Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space." -Orson Scott Card

My Floating Balloon: Today my balloon has metaphors. It describes its journey up to the sky with comparisons of two unlike things. Here is the thing. I am at a loss of metaphor. Today in class my teacher said prepare a metaphor for next time comparing life to something. I have no clue. I began to think of a box of chocolates when he said "and dont use life is a box of chocolates". Crap. Now what? So to start. I will ask if you could please help me think of something to use! i have to write a whole poem on it next class. Next, I began thinking of metaphors in its dictionary definition. Two things that are not alike in most ways but similar in others. It slightly reminds me of people. We are all different but share some key interests with others. Not just people though, everything. Everything can be classified as similar to something else in some way. So .... Life is a metaphor. Do you think he would accept that? <3 Thanks for reading
