Artisan.

I love it here. I love my neighbourhood, and I love my house. It's so funny how a change of location can make you feel alive again. I love Hamilton, but I was so sick of big fishes in a small pond.

Starting school soon, and I am a little nervous about it. I can't wait to really focus on my program and my placements. For now I am remaining unemployed, but there is a chance of me working on Queen Street if I find that I have enough time. Working at The Sil, having a retail job, and being a full time student throughout my undergrad has shown me that I really can balance a lot all at once. I like that about myself.

Getting a cute bike soon, excited to ride around the city in dresses. I get really excited about small things, always. I like that about myself, too.

I would give it all up for alliteration.

It always seems to be raining on the way to your city
The clouds part just enough for me to push through.
Somewhere between the departure and the destination,
I feel clarity.

My heart feels alive with every kiss,
My hands lose control with every word.
My nails look afright.
Forgive me.

I am building a monument of your heart.
Crumbling like Giza.
We will rise from the ruins, and loot the place for what's ours.


I think it's romantic, too.
