aN iNtroDucTioN, i GUeSs

hi! i’m honey, and if i’m being completely honest, i forgot that I’d created this blog, but i never forgot why, to in some way, inspire myself. to challenge my own means of coping, and funnel these thoughts into something worth writing and reading about. 

everyone needs some outlet of expression, right? i happen to have many, i’m a freelance photographer, a graphic designer, a painter, a musician, a vocalist, a history buff, an avid reader, and writer. i like poetry, classic romance novels, crocheting, dancing alone in my room, and randomly yelling out whatever phase the moon is in. i like plants, appreciating beauty, classical pieces, musical theatre, classic rock, singer/songwriter tunes, and playing the sims.

 i live by the quote that says “you didn’t get this far, to only get this far.” well that, and “you can have my oxford comma when you pry it from my cold, dead, and lifeless hands.”

i know who i am, and the things i want to achieve, and young adulthood in generation z is perhaps the largest whirlwind to have existed on the pinpoint of the human mind. 

so, here we are.

and whether anyone gets the opportunity to read this or not, whether it falls across your feed, or you have fallen into a million tumblr rabbit holes to get here.

i’m glad that you are, and i hope that, even beyond your own belief, you appreciate the value you that provide in this very dark world. be it, through your love and compassion, or the way that you pour yourself into your craft, the world will never have another just like you. you are valuable, you are loved, and you are seen. and i can only hope you made it far enough into this blog post to hear that even if no one told you today, you matter.

talk soon, honey.

Whoo-whee…now that’s what I call “abstract”! 😃 I am calling this piece “All In” because it captures and includes a deeper sense of me on a level which is…well…abstract! 😂 It has the colors, the shapes, the patterns, the paint strokes, the textures I Love! If is sanded, sealed, primed, and varnished on a cradled 16x20” wood panel. Um, yeah, it’s for sale, too so DM me if interested. The outside edges are painted a cool grey, kind of like Paynes grey. I will upload a timelapse video of the process to my YouTube channel soon. . . . #art #abstractart #contemporarypainting #abstractexpressionism #markmakingart #patterns #mixedmediaartist #oaklandartist #jenniferlindermanart #selfie #figuringitout #painteveryday #create (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBqVAVPGQV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

overwhelm.

I've thought about creating this blog for a while now bc I feel like a lot of people could be in the same boat that I am but maybe I'm too afraid to come to the conclusion that I'm losing it a tiny bit. Learning how to live in your early twenties is challenging on a regular basis. Not that its hard to live but it's hard to grasp what or where you're supposed to be rn. I struggle w it daily, I have days when I feel soooo negative but I also have days when I realize how much life I have to live and how maybe I can start changing my life around now. Bc it is how it works right?... But an overwhelming amount of thoughts rush to my head as to why it is such a big task to complete/perform in a way that is exemplary. I feel incomplete yet satisfied. WHERE DO U GO FROM HERE???? what does one do? I've tried the whole clean girl aesthetic and the whole eating books things bc I do love both but I'm not complete. I'm not whole yet. Going back to school might help me soon but I don't see that being the answer more of a booster for my career. A career I'm not sure I'm good in any way. I mean I am, my boss says it, and everyone around me says the same thing but I don't FEEL it yk? & I say that w anger bc how am I still not enough? & the whole bf & friends thing, let's not even get into it bc HOW?? I struggle to have both bc I don't even know who I fully am yet, I wanna be the best I can be in every aspect of my life but even when I am doing the most I don't feel like it's sufficient. I'm not doing my best and I know that but how do I get out of it? In my head im very self aware but do I act on it? negative. Weird gal, i know. anyways, I always said I'd write a blog so here I am but even though im not providing any answers to these questions I hope someone sees it and says 'hey that sounds just like me' bc I need to feel less alone in this. It is a 1st world problem I'm very aware but who knows, maybe somebody will read this n help me out.

You dont just marry him you marry his family too... Have you heard that saying in south asian families?

So i have grown up hearing this from my family and other south asian friends. Of course, i felt i didnt need to bother with it. Erm hello im a girl in this century. Im independent. I do shite for myself. If im getting married its to him. He ain't marrying my family so why am i marrying his. Psht.

Boy was i wrong!

I found a guy who loves my independent mind. He likes i do it all for myself.

We get married... few days later.. it starts.. everyone has their two pence. And guess what.. my not so culture husband is so damn cultural.. BUT WAIT! This gurl here is suckered in to "marrying his family"!

Erm hello when did this happen... btw im still figuring it out.

Thoughts 4 2Day

None of Us came with instruction manuals.

Most of Us have no idea what We are doing here, and We are doing what We think is best to get through this Ride we call Life.

For some of Us,We make it look easy,graceful,

effortless.

It looks like they have it all figured out.

In all likelihood, they don't.

All of Us are trying to find our way out here. You never know what someone is dealing with. Try to remember that as You go through Your day.

Be A Good Human.

Do you know what’s truly important to you? Do you base your budget, your plans, and your actions around those priorities?

If you are having financial issues, if living within your means is difficult for you, it might be time to take a long, hard look at your priorities and really decide what you can’t live without. You might be surprised at what your true priorities are.

 

Simplifying your life means figuring out what your priorities are, much like simplifying your closet means getting rid of those things you no longer wear and can no longer find a real reason for keeping. Those social engagements that do not bring you joy? Decline them. Those things in your home you are keeping because they might be useful someday? Get rid of them. Those people in your life who do not contribute to your growth? You might want to consider spending less time with them.

The more simple your life is, the easier it becomes.

🎵They hung out...

But you came home around 3.

If 6 of y'all went out,

Then 4 of you were really cheap.

'Cause only 2 of you had dinner🎶

"She was brave, and strong, and broken all at once." – Anna Funder. . I can be everything, and nothing, at the same time. So many things that the weight is exhausting. So empty that my hollow bones might shatter to dust with just one more hit. . But I don't need your sword, I don't need your saving, I don't need you to tell me what to do or who to be, and I refuse to exist as only a moon orbiting you. What I wish for is a home, a shelter from storms, big strong arms that gather up my strong, tired pieces and say it's ok, I got you, and you got this, and it'll be ok, and make me believe it, because they're a man who means what they say, every time. . That's all. Otherwise, get tf out of my way. . #makelifebeautiful #makeyourownmagic #findingmyself #figuringitout #trustingtheuniverse #shesmagic #shesawitch #loveherwild #wildchild #strongwomen #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #datingover40 #relationshipsarehard #loveanyway #lovingyourself #datinglife #quoteslover https://www.instagram.com/p/CVVVsn8l6db/?utm_medium=tumblr

Following Passions

I know the kind of career I want. I know exactly what I wanna do so instead of moping around I have decided to do something about it. 

I saw this job posting last night and I just knew it was something I wanted to do in the future. 

I am going to finish my law and business degree but pursue a minor in News studies. My university offers this major and I can take courses that will better lead me into what I want to do. 

I am going to take some Linkedin learning courses, get an internship next year as well, purchase a camera and start producing some content and working with my creativity. I am also gonna network the living hell out of myself. 

I do not know where this journey will take me. But I do know it will take me somewhere & for that I am so excited. 

I’m ready to do what I love. I refuse to let my doubts let me feel like I can’t do what I put my mind too. 

love u guys 🌻it’s time i start making these dreams a reality

Soooo, I did a thing. Well, actually, I made a thing. I have no idea what to call the thing so I'll tell you what its for instead. Sometimes a chicken will get it into her adorable little head that she needs to lay her egg in some crazy out-of-the-way spot surrounded by poop instead of in the convenient and clean nesting boxes provided to her. This usually requires somebody (me usually) to fold themselves into a pretzel and crawl through the poop in order to retrieve the egg. I don't like being that somebody. I'd like to avoid the poop and the crazy bending if I can. So this is for retrieving eggs. I got the ugly plastic spaghetti thingy at a yard sale last year. I found the pole in my garage behind a bunch of other crap and I thought it would be perfect. It is. (Of course it is) Admittedly it took me a few weeks to get around to putting them together but now they are and it works beautifully. It's very high tech, I used duct tape. Sometimes you just have to make your own tools. Have a beautiful Friday my friends.

Sometimes it’s ok not to be ok But to stay like that for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, much longer.... is no bueno You should understand by now what you feel you attract and if you feel SAD You will attract a bunch of SAD If you feel happy... You will attract HAPPINESS! It’s so simple you won’t be surprised reading this but you sure as heck will be AWARE even more of it then you were yesterday! So moral of this post: BEING #selfaware is key to #figuringitout ⚠️ #salvadorolague out #happythursday😊 (at Laguna Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKaggIDbH-/?igshid=11yazhb7oev5j
