i’m starting a new project that will continue over the course of this summer. i;ve tried many in the past, my most recent being a little book where i would jot down each day’s events every single day for an entire year, so i could look back on my birthday and see what i’ve accomplished and whatnot. the problem is, i stopped only 62 days in. so now, i’m doing something that’s a little less time based. it’s more of a focus on emotions. i’m tired of saying “i don’t know”.

so, i’m going to write letters. lots and lots of letters. they’ll be letters to strangers, friends, lovers, enemies, anyone really. they’ll be love letters, hate letters, rants and vents, letters about a moment in time, paths crossing, in/significant interactions, anything. i want to be able to take the smallest pang of emotion and personify it, pull out and vocalize the small thread connecting me to another being. i want to train my heart to feel. it’s like when we artists train our eyes to see and process the world around us, to stop and notice things, and to really see. those minute details were always there, but we never noticed them, and i’m done overlooking them.
