I'm gonna find a way to make it

ever think you're doing just fine and then it turns out you're actually an asshole?
and don't you just hate it when that happens?

I've had this song stuck in my head



I miss the green on the trees

but I am getting really into my poetry class

this book is incredible. if you have any intrest in poetry, buy it

of course these

always make me really happy

but this guy

theodore roethke has blown me away





right now I'm having a really good time and a really hard time.
I know everyone else doesn't miss home, but I do

just gotta keep lookin up

rest in peace nana

I'm trying to celebrate her life, not mourn her death


she grew up in evanston. my dad and aunt used to spend their summers at the apartment in the picture



nana and papa were both really into lighthouses. must've been the navy thing



cocktail shrimp was her favorite food. seafood in general was her preference. navy thing?



fannie may chocolate and other sweets were always around


she was a lucky lady. had money during the great depression because her dad sold tea. went to the art institute of chicago. married a naval officer. traveled the world. lived in 11 decades (even if she only dipped her toes in the 11th). she was beautiful, independent, and unconditionally loving. not to mention the best grandma a kid could ask for- and the only one I ever knew
