I know that you're a sucker for anything acoustic





This week has been so beautiful. I still have a crap ton to shoot for. But I'm enjoying my time off. I've gotten 4 interviews done.

They have gone way better than I planned. I've found that I've gone to two extremes- interviewing people I've known for years and people I've known for a short period time. What I find exciting is the people that I barely know are just so open with me in talking about love, relationships, their parents relationships, childhood, how they define love and such. Which I'm just so happy about. Each person has also given me a little piece of them which I so admire and appreciate. I leave after every interview with such respect and fun things.

Like Michael. Totally not what I was expecting. And I spent those 5 hours just in awe of him. He's one of those people that I know I will get along with and hope we can become good friends. We went back to his place and after spending about an hour talking about music in the original interview he played a song he wrote which I was totally taken a back. I feel it's one of those intimate things when you hear a song someone has put so much heart and soul into and I was very happy he shared that with me.

Sarah was the same in terms of surprises. She was not what I thought and gave me such a great story and opened up even though we've known eachother for a day. She's a hopeless romantic and even though she has such a tough exterior her interview and her stories were so beautiful. She took me back to her place as well and showed me her artwork. SO amazing. She paints and uses a lot of text with her work and I was blown away about her scales of paintings. She gave me a painting and I promised Id make her a print + a print of her portrait when I take it.


I'm actually totally procrastinating. I have to go to work, pick up some of my 4x5 stuff that came in the mail, and shower, finish cleaning my room and have some girl time with ange. I'm amped.

Life is going pretty good. And positivity is all around me. I'm blessed honestly to know such amazing talented people
