Hey friends. Just a little update to discuss a few things. Firstly, I'm working on some super awesome items for the shop, but due to shipping and other things out of my control, I'm afraid I won't have everything ready in time for the holidays. I hope I can make it happen. The shop will undergo some changes in the next few weeks and into the new year in regards to look & style. Of course, I'll keep it unique, but I'm experimenting with new concepts. Kristen Solecki & I are collaborating on something awesome, something I cannot wait to share, but for now, I'll keep that under wraps. I'll just say that it involves apparel and accessories. I know, cool, right?
Secondly, my twin sister, Mary, is opening a vintage shop, entitled Little Bird Vintage, named after our grandmother Tiba, whose Hebrew name translates to "little bird." We never met her, but she was one classy lady, indeed. My sister has an incredible eye and seriously guys, I've seen what she's collected so far. You're going to love it, I just know it. Her Facebook page is here & her Etsy shop is here.
Lastly, life has been crazy, as usual, and I can't believe we are already into November, almost December. I remember being in Philadelphia in May, thinking I'd never get to Thanksgiving break. A lot of breakdowns have happened and I've definitely had serious thoughts of leaving graduate school and Philadelphia. I almost did. I wasn't feeling inspired, and to tell you the truth, I'm still not. I'd rather pursue creative endeavors, but I think it's because I'm feeling very stressed and frustrated with other aspects of my life, that I'm taking it out on school, if that makes sense. I'm not quitting, I'm continuing. I owe it to myself and my family to do this. And I will. I am hoping I find a course or a person who will make this worth it, who will inspire me. It'll happen. Besides school, I've been exploring the city quite extensively, met some super rad people, and have been involved in some fun events!
Other things relating to relationships and people, specifically the male species, have not panned out as I thought they would. They'll probably read this and be like, HEY! What gives? Well, oh well. This is my blog, and I'll write what I want. I've made a few friends while in school, three girls that have been truly awesome and I am so grateful we met. They make me laugh and we all understand the craziness of our lives and graduate school. But sometimes, I have to interact with the male species. I hope that doesn't come off as rude or whatever to my ladies, but I think they know what I mean. I have always had the easiest time making male friends, and it is just something that comes naturally. It has and still does.
But dating, is difficult. You strive to make connections with people through your various interests & beliefs in the hopes that a relationship will come from it, or something that resembles a relationship. I thought it was because I was in school that I didn't have time to manage a relationship, but I'm not that type of person. I was in school for four years and had a serious relationship for that entire time. I can multitask. I think it's who I'm meeting, maybe. Or maybe it is ME? I don't know. Dating seemed easy in the beginning and everyone could do it because it's new and you're just beginning to know a person. It seems like things are different now. Life gets in the way, feelings get hurt, and connections with these people fade over time. Kind of hurts, but in the end, I have made a friend or two from this. Maybe in our day & age, it's hard to physically settle down and be in a relationship because our lives are so busy? But like I said, I did it before, and I can do it again...but should I? I was excited about the prospect of meeting someone, and possibly forming a relationship, but it doesn't appear to be in the cards, and you know what? That's okay. It is. This is just a learning experience for me. Right? I'm just rolling with this whole thing & if it happens, it happens. Until then, I'll be the single bag lady with the cat on my head at 10th & Market.
