My Bio
Who am I?
Well, that's a good question. I can give you the generic "I am me," but that won't do you any good. I can say "I am Anita," but that also won't do you any good without any background. The truth is, I'm ever introspective so who I am always changes. I am fluid. I am a complicated amalgamation of experiences, wants, and questions.

What do I do?
Well, now that's a complicated one. Usually the who we are is tied into what we do. I don't believe it. In all practical purposes I am a graduate student finishing up a degree that I'm not sure that I want. (Having your advisors bail on you over half-way through your program does that to you.) What I want is to create, interpret, and manipulate media. I want to be inspired. What I do should reflect what I want.

I don't have much posted on here, but I'm working on it. For the next thrity days I will try to post a new piece each day, just to remain creative.
--------------------------

Here are some guidelines to me:

Judge everyone by the same three standards: honesty, trust, respect. This triad is the base for all relationships. Together, they establish the conditions that I love and live by. Without one, the balance is lost and there is not good outcome.

Love with conditions. Love as though there are none. Don't be afraid to love or be loved.

Do your best to not be afraid of the things that hurt you. Stand strong and don't be afraid to let go if you need to.

Don't assume binaries. Don't put people in boxes. Don't generalize. Judge everyone on a case by case basis. You never know what beauty is before you.

Dance in the dark, but don't live there. The dark can cause bitterness and inappropriate self-loathing.

Be weird. Be yourself. Don't be ashamed of how "awkward" you are. People will think you're awesome and adorable.

Have no regrets. Bad experiences clarify who you are. (Plus, they make interesting stories for later.) A good experience manifests beauty.

Hold onto the things that inspire you.

Just fucking create something. Whatever it is, create it.

I am artist and insomniac searching for all the right words to hit me in the most appropriate places.  Insomnia is my addiction--an amalgamation of desires, fears, and self-loathing.  It tears me apart and brings me together.  It makes me lucid.  It fills me with love and loneliness.  I am seduced by its night-tones and sunrises.  It worries me as much as it intrigues.  It makes mental rumination manageable.  It introduced me to darkness to help me see the light.  I would feel lost without insomnia.  It is the bad relationship that I need to get out of, but can't.  I don't want to.  I am a willing submissive to insomnia's whip.  I am well awa

At Adrian

Currently, I am in Adrian.  Sitting, stuffed up, feeling antisocial.  I attribute my illness for this one.  Large groups make me awkward.  But, these are the people that I love, so it doesn't bother me as much as it normally would. While sitting, I've been writing and listening to music.  Additionally creating artwork.  Yeah, it's been a while.  I like it.

Art.

0 min read
Art.   Three letters with a multitude of meaning.   It is a word that is unappreciated and misunderstood.   It is a word defined by subjectivity.   What is art to one person is not art to another. This is not a poem. These are fragments of thoughts about a word. This is art. ;)
