i am loving everything monroe at the moment.

to do: take more photos.

post two.

my mind has been on love and life the last few days. surprise, surprise.

driving home the other night, to an empty but warm bed, i finally realised that i was well on my way to being the happiest i have been in this life. i've made a lot of mistakes in the past and i wish some things had turned out differently but i think i've done alright. i can finally appreciate the true value of people, i know how rare and beautiful love can be and i'm jaded enough to be okay with now waiting for it to come to me instead of pushing it. i'm proud of myself for completing a degree in something i love and then making a mark in a job that makes a difference in people lives. i feel accomplished in purchasing a property at the age of 22 and transforming it into somewhere i feel comfortable and myself. i'm doing well and i'm finally at the point where i can appreciate that - - appreciate myself.

for so long, i've been desperate for other peoples approvals on my choices and movements. whether it be in the way i dress or having someone crush on me, i've longed for others to give me a sense of quality.

tonight, at 23 with freshly painted toe nails and a sense of self, i am deliriously happy. fact.

welcome.

welcome to my collection of allsorts, much like the licorice.
this is where i plan to share my thoughts, experiences and love/hates.

i live in hobart with big dreams to move to melbourne, open a design store, live in a converted warehouse studio and fall stupidly in love.

my family are my life and i feel blessed to have grown up surrounded by the italian culture.

my friends are my back bone. they support, love and shower me in smiles. it took me a while to find them but they're mine for life.

i want to take more photos. i drink too much coffee. i love russian dolls. i dislike hypocricy. i believe that music is essential to existence. i wish i was cool.

this is me. enjoy.
