“LIL PRICKS”

A digital version for all to read.

Enjoy.

My final project, sans the textures of the final printed version, but still all good.

The point of this blog now :

As a way to articulate and adjust myself as I reintegrate into my life back in the states.

In the meantime, it’s nice to be back and I feel it was the right time for my journey to end.

The flight went very well and it just went very smoothly. Better than my flight going to London Heathrow.

I think the fact that it wasn’t a 777 had a part to do with that.

Anyways, my mission now is to not let the Brighton influence shy away to the background.

This will be my last post (on this blog) while in Brighton.

I leave tomorrow to go back to the states.

I’ve felt that I’ve grown as a person and learned more about myself, my process, and focus on what I really want to do.

It feels like a dream, my time here. It feels kind of unreal, like, “this really happened?”

I’m sure after I leave, that, in time, I’ll be able to sort it all out and realize that, yes, this all did really happen. You really were in England for six months. 

I’ve met some great people here and I hope to someday visit again.

I wouldn’t want to not visit again. It’d feel weird to just never come back to somewhere you spent half a year of your life at and it being a place that kind of marked a pivotal change within yourself.

But for now, this chapter is closing.

It’s been a good experience. And I will never forget it.

And this is me feeling the emptiness of this room now.
It is no longer mine. I have de-nested.

Packing is pretty much done. Just have to pack the little things such as everyday use items (like this computer) and I’m basically flight ready.
One more full day in Brighton. In England. On this side of the Atlantic.
Crazy.
