who are you?

i know that it has been some time since i posted. it has been a very bizarre and wonderful year. i hope you are well. :) i am. i am in love and i am working more and more in a field i love. writing, however, has been sadly lacking in my life, as has reading! tsk! tsk!

this post is inspired by this blog. i am a huge fan of this photographer, and i love her shoots of people's homes. i love gazing into the photos at the things that they surround themselves with... the trinkets, the books, the dishes they've chosen. i am fascinated by "stuff".

recently, i went through my home and eliminated trinkets and "things". i sort of wish that i hadn't. perhaps, considering how to display them more creatively would have been a better route. i believe in eliminating things... purging to make room for new things. but, there is something to reminders of memories.

sometimes, i wonder what i'm saying in my space. i worry that perhaps i've eliminated too many things. is my space to sterile of emotion?

there are many books that i haven't read. i swore off keeping them once i've read them, and as i stated above, i've not read much lately--anxiety. MUCH anxiety over unread books.

there are many unfinished projects flung about my tiny apartment. oh, it's neat as a pin, but more anxiety is stacked neatly under the bed in balls of yarn for unfinished sweaters and art supplies that haven't been used and photography things that need desperately to be done.

i'm thinking of doing my own little shoot. perhaps it will give me some insight as to who i am. maybe i just need to sit down and have a good cry... like holly hunter in broadcast news. purge this and regain my focus. streamline and eliminate the clutter.

but, really, how interesting is that?
