One Fine Day

On heavy silk luster photo paper Cut, titled, and signed by hand Ships flat with an extra thick backing board inside a crystal clear sleeve. 0.25 inch white border



As it stands, whenever make plans, outside factors have a way of changing them.  Just days prior to our date, a family emergency thrust me into a very surreal headspace.  Nothing really seemed tangible, and I felt like I was totally absent.  Everyone around me was connected in some way, and it was everywhere I turned.  The only time I found myself having a conversation that didn't center around it was when I spoke to Tre.

With all the craziness swirling around, our date was pushed to the background.  I was a little leary to cancel it altogether, thinking I may need to plan a short break from all the bullshit; even if just for a few hours.  There wasn't any peace on Richmond Whatsoever, and I was absolutely CRAVING it.  I stole the only opportunity I had to be alone and went for a walk.  It was just after dark, and a cool, damp air clung to my skin.  I could feel that; I WAS awake!  There was so much in my head...I took some full, deep breaths; letting the fresh air in, and letting all the nonsense out.  I needed to be clear, balanced, and focused.  My life and these situations weren't going to sort themselves out; I was going to have to line them up, and knock em' down one by one...

At this point, I had come to the realization that I was going to have an excuse each time; I wasn't ever going to reschedule.  It wasn't about timing, or what was going on, it was all about the fact that I had no REAL interest in Tre whatsoever.  Even though I wasn't exactly sure what he felt about me, I knew for certain I felt nothing.  All my apprehension stemmed from this one fact.  I wanted so desperately to be angry, and to feel differently.  I was convinced I was being stupid, and would regret the decision.  I didn't care; I didn't WANT to go.  I just wasn't interested in spending any real time with any other men.  

I seriously contemplated not saying anything; just not speaking to him at all.  But no; that wouldn't be right.  I would have to face him, and I would have to decline the invitation.  I just didn't want to.  point blank period.  If I got stuck, I could just say that; shit it was true.  It made no sense to entertain this any further.  None of this felt right, none of this felt like Avri.  The more I thought about it, the more it felt like I was doing it out of an effort to forget about what was going on between Landon and I.  The one sure thing in my crazy world was that my feelings for Landon were REAL.  When it was all said and done, everyone else ended up being little more than a distraction.  I spent so much time running away from this fact, I wasn't paying attention to what was happening.  It didn't make sense to make someone a casualty to a situation they don't need to be apart of.  It didn't matter how what Landon and I were going through made me feel, I KNEW for sure I did not want this, and I had to tell Tre...

It was quick and relatively painless.  I called Tre and told him the truth.  I told him that it had been nice to have him see something in me, but I knew there would never be an us.  I just didn't feel that way about him, and wasn't interested in another elaborate friendship.  This is all it would EVER be, and I know this because I already know where my heart lies.  It didn't leave much room for too many words or objections.  I didn't even have to say it was probably best we didn't spend any more time together; he said it for me.  I felt GOOD.  Even though so much was still uncertain, for the 1st time in a long time, I was being true to Avri...

"Breeze"

  It's amazing how intoxicating Peace can be.  When I say that absolutely Nothing  was happening in my World-and I couldn't be happier.  My friends were currently tired of me dishing out the exact same advice, "be honest about how you feel" at the moment.  Eh, that's literally the root of every  single problem ya'll are currently facing.   My family had even gotten hip to the fact that I was no longer simply saying 'yes' to any and all requests, so they really didn't have shit to say to me😂.  People have a tendency to keep their distance-and their business to themselves if you're not vested in what they have going on; more so if you aren't miserable and willing to commiserate...I'm MORE than OK with that.  As the Summer crept on, I found it harder to sleep straight through the night.  This wasn't anything new, I sometimes experience a little seasonal insomnia from time to time.  It had just begun to rain as I opened my eyes....

Essence

  I've never felt so deep in Love/ I think it's because you've touched a special part of Me.../ Hope I'm the One you're thinking of/ You must be feeling the same way I do/ Can't see being in Love without you... ~ Donnell Jones I Wanna Love U When an idea hits me, it’s nearly impossible for me to rest until it comes to fruition-no, like, every little detail!  I found this to be particularly inconvenient when I was going through one of my creative tangents...all I could do in those times was create...At any hour of the night, inspiration could hit, and I was wide awake; emptying the contents of my brain with a fervor that could only be described as villainous.  It was 2:49am, and my eyes snapped warily open..."OMG really?!  I thought I was going to have at least one night of unbroken rest this week!"  I said out loud, agitated.  "What?!  What is it tonight?!  I thought all that ephemera I cut up while watching Downton Abbey would suffice!"  Jus...

  "I gave you all the Love I got, I gave you all that I could give, I gave you Love...This is No Ordinary Love, No Ordinary Love...and I'm Falling..."                                                     ~Sade Sometimes I get the feeling that the Universe utilizes our lives as it's sole source of entertainment.  When I look at the shit we keep being presented with on a daily basis, it's becoming more and more apparent that the Creator is using us for shits and giggles.  Have you ever had a scent take you some place?  They say that scent is the closest of our senses tied to memory.  It can trigger emotions, reminding us of a specific space in time.  With the slightest sniff, we are immediately transported to that place; perhaps even a person... I had just gotten out of the shower, eager to start my day by opening a fresh bottle of ...
