My nocturnal creative outbursts, illegitimate art & curious antidotes for cabin fever
This week's topic is "Safe." Great timing. I've been struggling with this concept for the past couple of days. Here's a recent entry from my journal.

I am Steph and I am an artist. I live in my head most of the time. I think in pictures. Sometimes words just get in the way. I love peanut butter. I get bored easily. When I was 12 my best friend and I created the FFF (Federation of Fellow Froggists). We made an alternate universe populated by frogs. I still have the maps and my membership card. I wanted to be an astrophysicist until I discovered that it involved a lot of math. I decided to stick to reading science fiction. I cultivate moods. I forget to drink my vitamins sometimes. I have vivid dreams. I have recurring ones about vampires. My high school friends and I tried to form a band called “Shelob’s Lair.” I quit my guitar lessons after a week of having callused fingers. I liked our logo though. I almost didn’t graduate from college because of Spanish so I swore that I would never go to Spain. I lived there for 5 years. I love chai tea. I drink too much coffee sometimes. I believe in magic. I really want to have a cat.

I like journal entries, too... and think that those who CAN feel safe when they are alone with themselves have a lot to be grateful for. There have been times when alone was NOT safe. Not safe at all.
It's never too late to do the math. Astrophysics is, um, cosmological.
huge!!
What a striking style! I like the composition and the technique!
I like it steph! you have emerged, in the longform. Be SAFE!
