i'm starting to enjoy painting again

coffee's keeping me awake. i shouldn't be drinking so much coffee. i'm not drinking that much. but more than i do at home. i have a lot of thoughts lately, and i think it's good to write it down. i used to write (by write, i actually mean type cos my handwriting is horrible and i don't think i'll be able to read it in a couple of years. but yeah i should write too cos writing is authentic and it's nice to read handwritten things. but most of the time i type) a lot more than i do now. i used to pen down my thoughts more. putting thoughts into coherent sentences is really therapeutic somehow. 

i was talking to tricia today about there being some people you just feel comforted to see. i'm not talking about friends or family, cos that is like taken for granted i suppose that if you're close to someone it's always nice to see them. but i'm talking about strangers, or acquaintances that bring some sort of warmth to your heart, and a comfort that is unexplainable. somehow seeing them makes the unfamiliarity around me less daunting, a bit more manageable. there are two people here that are just that for me - courtney and sam. courtney runs intervarsity at saic (with a couple of others) and sam's my painting teacher. they both exude this warmth for people and passion for what they do/what they believe in. 

it's 3am here and i've been painting for 6 hours i think. i really enjoy making art. and i'm really thankful to be here. there are few things that take precedence over sleep.

also, i cut bangs on impulse two days ago. and for once i don't regret it. i quite like it/them (is bangs singular or plural i dont even know) actually. :)
