Emotion:inspired.
Random Thought:it's the 2nd time.
What:frida.

it's my second time watching Frida and each and every time i watch it i'm more inspired than the last. she is someone that i need to research. . . someone that i can possibly consider a role model. a revolutionary, an artist, a recovered parapalegic, an outed bisexual person. . . definitely amazing. with complete disregard for status quo, she challenged the system and the art world creating a place for a woman of color who painted from deep within her soul. frida kahlo, an artist that i took for granted but today reminds me of the strength of a woman.

life as usual seems to keep passing me by. i've already accepted the fact that i am addicted to stress. i like to overload myself with numerous projects and relationships that i drown in stress.

school: only one more month and i officially finish my first semester as a grad student. i just need to keep pushing myself to the limits.

work: completely flexible but i feel obligated to go in at least 3 days a week. honestly, that's something i can't do right now.

family: new members in the household. i don't have the same freedom that i once used to, no longer can i walk to my bathroom half dressed or walk around peacefully. i feel like i have to watch my every move, but i'm sure they're feeling the same way. it's just an adjustment period.

relationships: it's nice to be able to talk to folks either on the phone or hanging out with them once in a while. i'm glad that they're around when i need them and vice versa.

life, myself: affected by my surroundings i'm trying to adjust myself to the immense changes. i'm trying to recharge myself former self and reflect on personal growth.
