dear harper,

dear america,

‎"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

i had this dream where i chopped off the hair that took me 4 years to grow.

so fucking proud to be a vancouverite

procrastination meet determination

i think this is the first time ive ever done my homework 2 weeks early.




a taste of what's to come this semester?

not hardly.

let's just call it a successful valentines day.

will you be my valentine?

all i know is that you're so nice
you're the nicest thing i've seen
i wish that we could give it a go
see if we could be something

i wish i was your favourite girl
i wish you thought i was the reason you are in the world
i wish that my smile was your favourite kind of smile
i wish the way that i dressed was your favourite kind of style

i wish you couldn't figure me out
but you'd always wanna know what i was about
i wish you'd hold my hand
when i was upset
i wish you'd never forget
the look on my face when we first met

i wish you had a favourite beauty spot
that you loved secretly
'cause it was on a hidden bit
that nobody else could see
basically, i wish that you loved me
i wish that you needed me
i wish that you knew when i said two sugars,
actually i meant three

i wish that without me your heart would break
i wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
i wish that without me you couldn't eat
i wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

look, all I know is that you're the nicest thing i've ever seen
and i wish that we could see if we could be something
yeah i wish that we could see if we could be something


it only seemed appropriate.

you know your in fashion

when you spend you saturday drawing a raw shrimp.


colour theory is by far my favourite class.


today my lovely roommate asked me if i had learned anything about myself recently,
i told her i realized how much i liked pencil crayons as a medium.

i think i've finally become an art student.
