Sky man

Hey! It's been a MONTH since I last posted which is truly awful and I'm sorry. I don't even have any good excuses...to be honest I'm using Tumblr a lot more these days because it's so immediate - it's great for mood/inspiration boarding, as I'm sure you already know, and now I've found my friends' blogs and we follow each other so I'm not so much of a lone 21 year old Tumblr user u know. It's soosoo fun. I will definitely maintain this blog though because I've had it since I was 17 and it would be a shame to stop now! 

I have officially graduated from the VCA with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and I'm pretty proud of myself. It's not like the last three years have been a walk in the park, but you know I just feel very good within myself - much better than I ever did when I was 18 - and I know it's because of my own hard work, plus, of course, my large and loud support system of family, friends and teachers. I've become a real lady, capable of creating not just with passion and impulsiveness but with thoughtfulness and complexity, of working hard, of bouncing back, of bucking up and doing what must be done and doing it well. The actual gradation ceremony was blah, a little too close to the millions of stiff assemblies I attended at my old high school for comfort, but me and my parents and Lewis went to dinner afterwards and had a gelato too. Me and Lewis turned wide-eyed at the fact that we didn't even know each other at the beginning of this course, which goes to show how three years can be both a very short time, and an eternity. 

Speaking of Lew, he has moved out! (Further proof that we are growing up into actual adults.) A couple of nights ago we sat on his bed, around 2.30am, and listened to the baby room, listened to Hudson and Max trading verses back and forth from the lounge and wondered aloud about when reality will ever hit - or if it ever will. We rode home earlier that night in a wild convoy, which is one of my favourite things to do ever, because for some reason I am not a slow cyclist at night, but speedier, slicker, and we ride together like something from a teen movie. If you've never ridden home at 1am after a couple of wines, speeding downhill with cold dark air punching you in the face, it's an experience I highly recommend. 

I have lots of things planned for 2015, and a lot of it has to do with bettering myself you know. Like I said I've come a long way but me and my crazy temper still have a long way to go. But I feel like, right now, I couldn't be better equipped.
