Kids that aren't afraid to be different. #love

Today, I went to Lincoln Park Zoo during their Zoo lights event to volunteer. I set up a craft station with Anita and we basically made crafts with kids. We got there way to early, so we were pretty much the first ones there. We had to set up the station where we made light bulb pin things like the ones pictured in the right. It was really funny how the adults that came to work with us at our station made it seem like we were the ones in charge, though we were clearly younger than them by 15+ years.

One of the kids that were making the crafts was seriously not afraid to be different. The left one is suppose to be the normal looking light bulb thing. The one of the right is a copy of what the kid made. I couldn’t help but laugh. He seriously was really cute though!

I hate to have to submit the “normal” one to key club for the scrap book. That is why I decided to take a picture and blog about it. I really like to blog about my life now!

told you!

So the other day, my dad helped me hang up my guitar above my bookcase and this process caused it to leave some powdery stuff on top of the shelf. So i wiped it a little and got this really weird/cool outcome. It is currently still sitting on my shelf. Sorry it is such a bad photo! I just took a quick snap so that I could show what I meant on my previous post about being easily inspired.
Here it it:

It's all the dreams that never came true 'cause you were too damn scared to try.

I hope that doesn't happen to me. I am too terrified to follow my dreams though. Not only will I be unable to put dinner on the table, but I don't know what my parents are going to think of me. I know it's something that shouldn't hold me back and I should fight the stereotype, but it is honestly a part of who I am. I am done with that phase of rebellion. I refuse to do something just to make anyone angry, but I can't say the same about doing something to make someone happy. Here I am, again. I'm always caught up in doing what makes the people around me happy. I need to start doing things that makes me happy.

Inspired.

I love it when people I know write blogs. It just inspires me to write more. Everything inspires me though; inspiration is seriously everywhere. That or I'm easily manipulated, just depends on how you look at it. Recently I have been trying to enrich my life with more art. I am too lazy....I think it's because of the winter months. These photos were taken by me on my phone. I wish I had an iphone so that I could use instagram!

oops!

I completely forgot about this blog. I read my first post and laughed about how I said I would try to blog a lot. So much for that; but it made me realize how I have piles of half finished projects.
This is how I stumbled back to this page: I was winnowing through my iTunes list because I recently restarted my computer after all the apps kept crashing on me! ( I digress.) Then I decided that I really wanted to write the lyrics on my wall in different colored sharpies (I'm a teenage girl, no one can blame me). So, I googled some projects I could do since I'm not allowed to paint, let alone write on my wall. Some of the first links was a blog titled A Beautiful Mess. I LOVE what this person did. It was as if someone put everything I wanted in my future in this blog. So here I am now writing this post. I added this photo of my baby cousin Nicole because she's cute. Also, I wanted to add some more life to my page.
Expect more informational and what I think is artsy posts in the future.

Until next time,
Jenny
