It's been way too long...

Wow. So an entire winter has gone by, and even half of Spring. It's now May 2013 and I have been so blessed. In the past year I have traveled to Eight different states and many different cities. In the fall I spent a few days in Massachusetts, and saw Boston for the first time. Then I spent a good five days visiting my best friend in Philly. Spent a very creative fall in Montauk, my favorite place in the world. And then I packed my bag and headed to the west coast for the first time in my life. From Jan. 10th to Feb. 26th I was in California. Spent some time in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, and the San Fran area, traveling by train and cars with some friends and fam. Then I took a 18hour "Starlight Coast" train ride to Portland, Oregon where I spent a few days snowboarding on Mt. Hood and the other three days skating around the city. After that I flew to Denver, Colorado where I spent a week with my long lost cousin in Colorado Springs. 
Stopped home for two weeks and then I boarded that good ol' southbound train to a long awaited destination, Charleston, SC. I spent a little over 2 weeks there and that of course wasn't enough time! But still, I had many great experiences, spent much time with good friends I don't get to see very often and it was once again a life changing experience in that city. I've been so happy ever since and not to mention, taken a long awaited and planned break from the good ol mary jane and my brain is feeling much better. As well as my whole body. 
After Charleston I spent five days with my Nutty Uncle Kurt in Southport, NC. Which was also quite an experience.
So basically I've wrote all this now because well due to being computer deprived this whole time I've just been blogging everything down in my sketchbooks and brains, and there's lots to share so I think for now I'm gonna just post a thing or two everyday that I saw or felt on this amazing venture.
From west to east, from north to south I had the adventure of my life. 
Met some of the most amazing people I've ever met and lots of new friendships and even relationships with family members were formed.
Ive been nothing but thankful in the last few months. And even better, I am just so blessed every day. In these past few months I've seen and learned how beautiful and precious life really is. Time is way to precious to be wasted and if your not happy you gotta find ways to stay and be happy. 
I was pretty upset for a while because of different things and living in NYC and the pressure of an art school was only making things worse. Leaving FIT was definitely one of the best decisions I could've made.
Life is meant to get greater each day. And In the past year or so I have really learned to just love and live and be thankful and I couldn't think of a greater way to be!
