I didn't sleep at all last night and I woke up with such a bad headache. I'm so stressed out right now, I'm supposed to finish 2 entire oil paintings, matte my pencil drawing, and do a watercolor painting, all by Monday. Two art classes seems easy right? Its not at all.

Yesterday I was at school until 7:00 pm. I was working on my oil painting for 6 and a half consecutive hours! Isn't that crazy? I'm like a slave to art. I am amazed that I could even focus for that long.

Well I am back on my Adderall because I just really need it right now. I need to be able to focus on my art for long periods of time. Also when I'm not on my Adderall I eat so much, because I'm always bored. Its such a bad habit. Yesterday I ate healthy though! Well kind of, lol. I had a small piece of cake for breakfast, then I had a 6-inch veggie sub on flatbread for dinner. Oh and I had an apple crisp granola bar at lunch. Then I had a ton of water!

I might have a nervous breakdown in the next week... So pray for me please!

“You are beautiful like demolition. Just the thought of you draws my knuckles white. I don’t need a god. I have you and your beautiful mouth, your hands holding onto me, the nails leaving unfelt wounds, your hot breath on my neck. The taste of your saliva. The darkness is ours. The nights belong to us.


Everything we do is secret. Nothing we do will ever be understood; we will be feared and kept well away from. It will be the stuff of legend, endless discussion and limitless inspiration for the brave of heart. It’s you and me in this room, on this floor. Beyond life, beyond morality. We are gleaming animals painted in moonlit sweat glow. Our eyes turn to jewels and everything we do is an example of spontaneous perfection.


I have been waiting all my life to be with you. My heart slams against my ribs when I think of the slaughtered nights I spent all over the world waiting to feel your touch. The time I annihilated while I waited like a man doing a life sentence. Now you’re here and everything we touch explodes, bursts into bloom or burns to ash. History atomizes and negates itself with our every shared breath. I need you like life needs life. I want you bad like a natural disaster. You are all I see. You are the only one I want to know.”
