No matter how careful you are, there’s going to be the sense you missed something, the collapsed feeling under your skin that you didn’t experience it all. There’s that fallen heart feeling that you rushed right through the moments where you should’ve been paying attention…well, get used to that feeling. That’s how your whole life will feel some day.

My friend Jim just finished making a dress for me the other night, and as he needed to photograph it for his line before I took it home, Anna and I offered to model for him.

Everything we’re wearing is Company³...

It is officially monday.
Now that it’s (pretty much) (almost) summer, I’ll venture to say Mondays might be my new favorite day of the week. I mean, why not?

I have no idea how to write this goddamn essay. In my three years at Berkeley I have never been so stumped.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
