Pens, pencils, and erasers

an accumulation of musings

Just in case you’re curious

The majority of my tumbling goes on over huurr now. I might be making the switch permanent.
Follow me if you’re interested.

I like the weekends.

I like the weekends.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.

Tumblr- a place where you can be completely self-absorbed, self-important and self- indulgent and people eat it up like candy.

When the ask me “who’s your favourite poet?”
I’d better not mention you
Though you are my favourite poet
and I like your poems too.

Nazee Abassi’s cool self-study project as an American-Iranian woman.

This project is a series of self portraits exploring who I am, both as an American and as an Iranian, through photographs. It has always been a struggle for me to explain myself, who I truly am, and how I should or shouldn’t act in given situations. I feel that maybe these photographs will answer some questions. Questions people might have, or even questions I have for myself as a person who has lived with two cultures her whole life. Sometimes I feel confused, proud, and sometimes even awkward about how to simply deal with the differences of the two parts that make me.

After two decades of defining ourselves in terms of our possessions, we now need to figure out who we would be without them.

Extremes

I’m not interested in living in extremes.
I just want to surround myself with people who appreciate simplicity as much as I do. 

Life is too short to over think things, over analyze things, or over dramatize things.
Shit happens.
All you can do is move on.

I am not looking for the profound. Its over rated.
I am interested in being a simple human being that cares for others.

The end.
