the return. and the begining.


I'm back. I really am back. It feels good to be home.

there is a personal journey I went through that wasn't documented here. Almost a whole year in my life. So much has changed. I feel like a much more 'evolved' person. I have come to terms with myself again and closed another chapter in my life and I'm in the initial phases of the next.

And you know what? it feels absolutely, awesomely great! :)

I'm at a much more stable phase of my life. I don't want drama, I just want to live. and just be.

I just got to work and found a local, new 'fashion and lifestyle' publication slipped underneath the store. There is a shoot in it which is absolutely awesome, the concept was refreshing and it was very summery... and the photographer wasn't credited for it. The photographer, babyface, happens to be a very close friend of mine. we go waay back and I've known him for several years now and is perhaps one of the very few people in the industry i can consider as a genuine friend. him and the editor had a falling out recently and it wasn't pretty. but still, i think, at the end of it all, no matter how much you hate a person, you don't take away credit for their work. you don't get personal when you have the power to print. you just don't. and i don't appreciate what that editor did, but then again, it's none of my business as well, so I'm not going to interfere.

Intern season is starting and I'm really, really excited. I love my interns. I love having them around. I love teaching them the ropes on how to work in a publication and I love giving them my interviews to transcribe! ;)

I have a potential love interest in my life. It's (potentially) incredibly stable and incredibly... normal. which is so new for me. For the first time in my life, I actually feel secure.

and as arrogant as it may sound, I look beautiful. I feel beautiful. Life definitely is absolutely beautiful :)
