When you look at a tree, what do you see? (Oh, look, I'm Seuss)

I know, I know. You see a tree. But, do you see just the tree? Or is there more to it?

You're probably think, "A tree is a tree. Of course I see a tree when I look at a tree. You make no sense."

I don't. I mean, sure, it's a true, and a nice one at that. But, I also see the branches the consume space, and each little twig branching off of it. I see the pattern in the bark and the little bugs that call the tree it's home. I see the tree's beauty.

I like to believe it's because I have an artsy eye. I adore the beauty of simple things, and imagine the work of art they are, and could become. I'm blown away by some of the ideas I get from looking as a mere tree.

My artistic eye is my favorite thing about me. It makes my world brighter. I couldn't imagine staring t a tree and just thinking "So tall" or "Thanks for helping be breathe, buddy". No thank you.

I love that have the capability to make things that I picture. I'm painted so many quotes, mixed so many pictures, created so many ads for minuscule things, and I've turned song lyrics into typography happiness.

Art makes me so happy.


Now, I know a lot of people don't have the eye for some things (or the ear if we're talking music). In my years of art, so many people have said "I wish I had an artistic bone in my body" or "I just don't really see things like that". And that honestly makes me sad.

How could someone not see something in a way that looks 10x more beautiful. I don't think it should be legal. It's just not right.

If you're a person that doesn't really have an eye for this kind of stuff, I'm so sorry. I hope you do have something that makes you happy though. Maybe someday, someone can show you how they see things. Until then, you do you, and be happy.

I hope everyone does things that make them happy. Art just happens to be mine.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
