Quit collecting things and begin collecting experiences! They take up less space and last forever. Recently I've reconsidered getting my graduate degree. I have been contemplating getting my graduate degree in either Painting & Drawing or Art History. Then I thought about how I'm still paying student loans from my first degree. The cost is outrageous. One textbook alone can easily be over $100! All things considered, I could take all of that money and actually travel anywhere in the world and go see that art in person, or paint on location. Sure, I won't have the degree in the end, but I'll have something much more meaningful! Why spend all that time and effort waiting for "someday" to come? We're not even guaranteed those days. Someday turns into never too often. Carpe Diem!

New Year's Wish

Don't forget that whatever you want to do in this world, the universe is on your side. It may not seem like it at times, but don't give in to pessimism! Everyone owes it to themselves to find happiness. You can't bring happiness to others unless you, yourself know it well. This is my New Year wish to everyone: May you find the source of your happiness and go after it with all your heart! Cheers.
