i can conquer.

school starts again today after a long 16 day break! now i know that a lot of people got longer than that (my friend sam got til the beginning of december til the 25th of january!) but 16 days is too long for me to be away from the world and friends. that whole two and a half weeks i only saw one friend. i was so depressed. all i had to do was draw draw draw and go onto facebook.

sigh.

but now that school starts up again today in about oh, an hour and a half, i am much more happy and feel more alive. i can't wait to see my friends again and see how they are doing.

i have done so much art over the past couple of weeks during the break. i really hope my ap art teacher likes all of it. i have been trying some new experiments with colors and pictures. it has been a lot of fun. even if all of the pieces i have done recently aren't liked by my teacher and other students, i am still proud of myself for going outside my box. as jennifer anniston once said:

"everything we want in the world is just outside our comfort zones."

how true is that? when we stay in the safe grounded area we think nothing can hurt us. but then we realize that we can't have anything we truely desire because we are afraid of change.

i am so glad that i overcame that problem. i feel like i have so much to offer the world, i just have to be brave enough to show it and let it out and free.
