Babbling Brook

The unseen story is the new start to my life. This campus is where I reinvented and began to love myself finally. Fargo is home away from home, and it’s where I can be independent and responsible for myself. The babbling brook is one place I go to think and the water inspires me to […]

Dog In A Sweater

What is seen here is a dog in a sweater. What I see is a bond with an animal that needs my help. She is on the dogs that I walk at the animal shelter. She was severely neglected and in bad shape when she came in. She has extreme allergies, so I gave her […]

Pokemon

Seen here is a painting of a Pokemon. The unseen story is that painting is a stress relief for me. Painting distracts me from my other daily troubles, and it’s a hobby I can be proud of. I paint them to give as gifts to people, and being able to make others happy with my […]

Evangelical Household

I was raised in an Evangelical Household which meant that if you have a mental illness then you are not close enough to God. It got worse when I went to college.  It is more about being mindful and intentions through Wiccanism.  This summer I really felt that it fit with me spiritually.  Tarot reading […]

Theory Homework

What is seen here is my theory homework. Math of music course. More academic courses for my major. The poem I took a picture of is Slovantky’s Winter’s Tail. I kind of struggled reading this at first because I struggled with what I was doing with my life. This semester I’m trying to do more […]

The Driver’s Seat

Empty Classroom

This is an empty classroom, I just dumped all my books in there–cause I had to leave school for a semester. It was a big disruption in my life. Different events with a mental illness can cause huge impact and delay in things. It set me back a semester…but it could’ve been worse cause I […]

Cute Little Mug

This is a cute little mug that my roommate got me when she was in Ireland over spring break. We haven’t known each other very long but we have this very genuine friendship. She and I are just really quirky and I think it was just a nice gesture to get me a toucan mug […]

Empty Classroom

This is an empty classroom. When I’m having a bad day it can feel like I’m sitting in a room full of my classmates and friends. They’re there and I just feel alone.

Car Tire, Road, And Park

Car tire, road and park; This represents mobility and the park picture represents trees and the changing of the season.  Seasons change and change quickly and when you get into a depressive state then you miss seasons, you miss out on life. I think the ability to go out and experience the day is the […]
