IT’S SUNNY!!!

And almost summer.

I am energized by this while simultaneously feeling completely depleted of energy. I have been working so excessively with diminishing returns that I know my mind needs to shut off for a bit. Despite this, I still find myself wide awake at 4am. I want to do all of the things right now, I’m making lists.

The lists started on Monday morning. The sun was out, I was on my way to work, reading Just Kids and thinking about the previous weekend. I spent the majority of the weekend cooped up in my room doing the last big push of my freelance project. I also went to a party at Dalton. Steph had built this large outdoor lounge space à la studio 54 (but instead Dalton 34), which we never actually used (it was cold) but looked down at in awe many times.

The combination of experiencing the limitations of my room  (while working on my project), seeing this massive outdoor piece that Steph had built and reading about Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe and how they used the full space of their apartment to work on their art led me to the revelation that I want a dedicated space for making/building/creating stuff. This launched a hunt for studio space and started a few conversations with like-minded people who might want to share a studio space to also make/build/create stuff.

All of which came to a screeching halt when I did my taxes later on in the night- only to be further halted the next day when I thought I had lost my metropass (*diminishing returns*). AKA, I am poor.

Today though, the sun is out and I refuse to let finances scare me out of finding a solution to this problem.  Yes, today I am treating this blog like a vision board. May the answer be manifested.
