Hi, Hello, and LONG TIME NO SEE

HEY EVERYBODY out there in Internet Land, Sarah Sky here.


Presently I am in the hills outside of Asheville NC. It's pretty as hell, and quiet. Oh so quiet.


ASHEVILLE & FRIENDS
Being here has been quite strange and also home like in a dream sense, where the way things are is just supposed to make sense even though you know that your cat is not really your husband. Do you understand? So much has changed and so many experiences I have had in the last week have been exactly as they were before. Fire at Josephs, walking in Downtown Books and News and working that evening, eating sushi with Sadye, listening to Patrick play his bandoneon in the bookstore, hanging out with Dan as he shows me his new obsession of beautiful wood carving.






I have been so isolated from friends for so long, somehow ending up in situations over and over where people just could not understand me, or get me. Having some mystery illness that leaves you randomly disabled might be enough to throw some people off, but not my friends. So thanks to you all, I know you don't read this because you don't really have any internet lives. But I love you guys. In all the isolation and discrimination, I have just counted my blessings which is all the love that y'all give to me.


BULLET JOURNAL
In other less bleeding heart news I have started a new way of journaling and so far one month in, I think i'm really liking it. I was a Moleskine weekly notebook kind of girl for years. It worked when i had a job and my things that i did actually followed a direction with time. Now i'm more project based with tasks and ideas, so the ever onward march of time doesn't actually make sense and my ideas and tasks were getting swept to the past where I would just forget about them on my forward march. The bullet journal is entirely different, a mix between an idea book, a task book, and a calendar if you want it that way.





YOUTUBE
One of the reasons I had to change the way I kept track of things is because, I was pretty disabled and started in my boredom making youtube videos. I found out that I actually really loved making them, filming, editing, and talking to people about whatever. It's been a cool experience and with that adsense has been sending me tiny chunks of change. For me, money has never been a sincere motivator but somehow it signals to me that something is working here. That people are watching ME, what really? me??? and talking and it's nice. So if you want, go ahead and take a look. Mostly right now I just talk about clothes but who knows where it will go.



JACQUELINE
She mentioned me in a post on instagram and facebook and it made me blush. I was walking around earlier that day thinking about how we are all doors. We can be conduits for good and share or we can be closed and make people feel less. Like water we all rise simultaneously and I want to help people up. So thanks for saying thanks, furthering a commitment to be a door and to love. xo
