Personal Posts
I'm Lindsey & this is my little splash of self on the massive internet sphere. Pretty ladies, good songs, some fashion, some rants, and always uncensored shenanigans. To view only my words/posts click the "personal posts" link above. :)
I find myself completely in another place, staring at something super intensely on and off all day. I’m not sleeping very well because I just can’t make my brain slow down. It’s cool that everything with Europe is coming together but…a girl needs to sleep…and write my fucking 10 page paper on Buddhism to graduate from college in a week… ughghghghgh
JOE ROGAN I LOVE YOUUUUU AND YOUR AMAZING PROGRESSIVE THINKING RANTS.
if you live in a van down by the river and still haven’t heard his podcast…get your shit together and listen up kiddos. It’s called the Joe Rogan Experience and it’s fo free on iTunes. they talk about everything from politics to religion to UFC to sex… it’s awesome.

DO make good use of your time outside of endlessly scrolling through the internet, actually using your youth to contribute to society and make the future brighter for yourself and humanity at large. As soon as this is achieved by a confirmed human, science will let us know.
DON’T be consumed by jealousy. Even though modern technology has basically served to bombard us with endless photographic and text-based proof that our peers are more successful, more beautiful, and more well-adjusted than us, we have to let it go to some degree. If we spend our time immersed in social media, over-analyzing every new detail about how much more fruitful the life of that dude from high school is than ours, we will literally go insane by the age of 25. We can’t let this happen.
DO start dating people who are right for you. Whatever your definition of a good time is with a romantic partner, you figure that out and you start dating accordingly. There is no point in wasting your time with someone who is not interested in the same future, who doesn’t define a relationship in the same way, and who is only minimally interested in making you happy. Want just an awesome friend with benefits? Find someone who’s gonna hit it like it owes them money with no expectations of all that love bullsh-t. Want a future with monogrammed towels and a golden retriever in your family Christmas card? You find that WASP who’s gonna make all your Connecticut-based dreams come true. Want a person who is at least going to set up a toothbrush in their apartment to acknowledge your presence in their life? Stop dating the crunchy-vegan ass hat who doesn’t “believe” in “ownership” and thus bangs seven other people at the same time, much to your dismay.
DO develop some hobbies outside of drinking, recovering from drinking, and reminiscing about drinking. The world is full of awesome, strange, exciting, cool things to do — why limit yourself to seeing how much abuse your liver can take before it commits seppuku? Learn a dance, join a club, pick up a language, or even just get really into writing terrible fan fiction — whatever tickles your fancy. The point is to expand your horizons and meet new people, as adulthood unfortunately means the only opportunity for forced socialization is at work, and it has been proven in a recent study that 87 percent of coworkers are enormous tools that you want nothing to do with. A hobby is a perfect way to supplement the “bearable people you see on a regular basis” count in your life.
DO learn to love yourself. As cheesy as it sounds, and as trite as the sentiment has become, there is an enormous amount of truth to the idea that loving yourself, and being proud and comfortable with who you are, is the gateway to all the myriad kinds of happiness we can experience as we grow. How can we ever expect to be happy for others, to truly love our friends, to care for a partner, or even maintain a fulfilling career, if we’re crippled by self-hate and insecurity? Of course we shouldn’t become that guy who walks into the office carrying his bike over his head in his ridiculous lycra outfit, telling you about the awesome breakfast he had and the charity marathon he’s running this weekend — that guy loves himself way too much. But a quiet appreciation of all that is wonderful and unique about yourself, as well as all the good you can put into this world if you try, is something we could all do with a little bit more of.
“So what are you going to do with your degree now that you’re almost graduated?”
…move away to europe and play with kids all day at museums, ancient parks, eat gelato, take pretty pictures, && BE HAPPY. That’s what I want to do with my degree. You can shove all that 9-5 right up your bum.
Good morning San Francisco ❤

I am bound enough to the people I love. By choice, not by paper.

A little commemoration of my NYC trip that is coming to a close all too soon…
Well I had a nice little overnight outing from Manhattan to Woodstock to see my girl Laurie’s brother in a one man show that he wrote and starred in. It was a super funny production with a really sweet meaning. And I got to see some beautiful east coast rural scenery because of it, which I’m always in for. Now I’m heading back to the city on a bus.
I just love New York. It also helps that I came on a month where the weather has been totally remarkable. 70’s every day, which they tell me is weird and awesome, so I’ll take it. But my god is it an expensive city to partake in… $14 martinis and $6 lattes—the norm. Oof. But hey, I’m taking it in as much as I can, because I only have one more week of it’s bad ass smoothie places and coffee shops and restaurants that have full menus until the bars close at 3 or 4. It’s such a fucking cool city to be young and alive in. It’s been a nice precursor for my quickly approaching move to Paris. :)
Officially official. I’m working as a prop stylist’s assistant on a Fortune Magazine Advertising shoot FOR TWO WEEKS starting this sunday. PAID TO BE IN MANHATTAN. GAH!
Oh life, how you are good to me. :)))))))
