through the looking glass.

My sister is four years my senior. When we were growing up, I wanted to be her and wanted to run as far as possible from her at the same time. Now that we're older and i've been in this world for some time I realize that she's actually the best friend I will ever have. She inspires me constantly and I hope that I do the same.

This picture was taken by her in my family home, and I can't wrap my head around how special it feels. Truthful, raw.

I'm working on building my room this month like i've done so many times here in n.y.c. and this time I can feel i'm home. It's like all the newness in my life is weaving together to form something beautiful. It's like all the people in my life are as close or far away as they are supposed to be at this point in time. I've had a lot of time to reflect on this during long subway rides. #commutecatalog

maybe i'll make that a weekly thang.
