I'm participating in blogmas forreal this time

 I decided this year to participate in blogmas to keep my creativity up and get back into a routine of writing again.  I think it's only right that today I spend some time sharing a few Virgil mood boards. If you were a fan of my original blog, Virgil was someone I posted a lot, be it directly or indirectly based on his circle of friends.  

One of my favorite quotes of his and really random reflections: 

Reminds me so much of my own personal journey. It definitely isn't lost on me that I am fortunate enough to work in the proximity to my idols.

 I also feel the universe giving me a lot of pushes lately. I listened to a podcast where someone mentioned that ideas are like living entities. Think of them like fairies, and they travel from person to person kind of haunting them so that people bring them to life. If they are with someone that they aren't vibing with they leave. But they stay if they know the person can bring them to life, isn't that wild? I have like 3 ideas that won't leave me alone. In the last few months travel has had me cross paths with people asking me "when will you do your own thing." Literally after he passed one of the first things a friend of mine asked me was if I wanted to design. Yes, I do. 

Y'all, I lack confidence. BUT BITCH WHEN I FIGURE IT OUT IT'S OVER FOR YOU. 

A few summers ago I got to see Figures of Speech in Chicago. I am such a nerd I think I was in awe of the layered meanings of everything Virgil produced. I picked up a tote bag and a shirt from the exhibit. Cherishing them a little extra now. 

OKAY, lets see if I actually keep up with blogmas this year.
