once upon a time




















i woke up this morning in one of my agitated states of excited panic. it's a rare event, but it's been happening more often than lately. my mind was racing & i somehow conjured this idea of interviewing older philadelphia residents about their favorite job to see if that was their reason for staying in this city. i know there were a few other details in this little experiment of mine, but the idea is slipping away from me, sort of like how you forget the details of a dream once you're awake. i'm slightly curious to find out if people enjoy their life more because of their job or if they'd prefer to be somewhere else, regardless of family or any other obligations. i'm interested to see if existing in a state of daydreaming is more of a reality than not. i'm not judging daydreamers, but rather curious about people's predisposition to talk rather than do.

I like this project idea! People love to tell their stories...I think this would make for a really interesting article or book. :)

Girl, you so creative!

I hate my job, but many people who are more experienced and better educated than me think they want it.

I constantly fantasize about running, but only start making moves to when I have something to run from. When I really have something to run from, I feel compelled to stand my ground. I've been looking for something to run 'for.' I found a photo project that could fill that purpose, but I still some cash to make it happen.
