It makes my life kind of extremely great.

When you look at a tree, what do you see? (Oh, look, I'm Seuss)

I know, I know. You see a tree. But, do you see just the tree? Or is there more to it?

You're probably think, "A tree is a tree. Of course I see a tree when I look at a tree. You make no sense."

I don't. I mean, sure, it's a true, and a nice one at that. But, I also see the branches the consume space, and each little twig branching off of it. I see the pattern in the bark and the little bugs that call the tree it's home. I see the tree's beauty.

I like to believe it's because I have an artsy eye. I adore the beauty of simple things, and imagine the work of art they are, and could become. I'm blown away by some of the ideas I get from looking as a mere tree.

My artistic eye is my favorite thing about me. It makes my world brighter. I couldn't imagine staring t a tree and just thinking "So tall" or "Thanks for helping be breathe, buddy". No thank you.

I love that have the capability to make things that I picture. I'm painted so many quotes, mixed so many pictures, created so many ads for minuscule things, and I've turned song lyrics into typography happiness.

Art makes me so happy.


Now, I know a lot of people don't have the eye for some things (or the ear if we're talking music). In my years of art, so many people have said "I wish I had an artistic bone in my body" or "I just don't really see things like that". And that honestly makes me sad.

How could someone not see something in a way that looks 10x more beautiful. I don't think it should be legal. It's just not right.

If you're a person that doesn't really have an eye for this kind of stuff, I'm so sorry. I hope you do have something that makes you happy though. Maybe someday, someone can show you how they see things. Until then, you do you, and be happy.

I hope everyone does things that make them happy. Art just happens to be mine.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
