Charting November

Press L!

 

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.” - Anais Nin

 

[When I was a teenager, my room was powder blue and silver, and I decorated it with moons and stars. My ceiling was plastered with glow-in-the-dark stars, and I treated my ceiling light as the sun, hanging my glow-in-the-dark makeshift planets around it in orbit. I had and continue to have a profound love for the universe and all of its mysteries, and I always will.

 

If you want to know how much of a nerd I am, I used a star chart for the month of November to hand draw each constellation, and I was saddened when I realized the two on the left were misaligned. Also, all of the books on the bed are astronomy and planetary books that I bought when I thought of this idea. I figured they'd serve as perfect props AND add to my book collection. (I've been collecting special books since I was born.)

 

The beautiful gold telescope is a most precious gift bestowed upon me by a dear friend, and you can expect to see more of it in future photos.]
