The Hopeful Romantic

Artist, Designer, Former Alternative Model, Day Dreamer & Hopeful Romantic. Because being a Hopeless Romantic is a waste of time & I'm tired of that expression. Nice to meet you, you can call me Suzika. I'm the most Optimistic pessimist you will most likely encounter with a dash of cynicism & a very large spoonful of hope. I get lost in thought often. I believe in God (in a non-secular sense), magic, superstitions, and karma. Here are some things that occupy space in my mind or rather my daily brain dump. Enjoy, and do not remove sources when reblogging any of the material from this blog, thank you.

I had thoughts of killing you today.

I stuck a knife in your gut over and over and over until you bled to death. It pains me to have these visuals circulating in my head, but it happened. You bring out the monster in me. I keep this monster tightly kept and hidden. It’s not who I am. Please stop triggering this beast, please.

Dear MTA Service Change Poster Announcement Designer:
I know you’ve probably heard this before, but we need to talk. Maybe you’re overworked. Under-payed? Maybe this isn’t in your primary job function? Maybe this is beneath you? Above you? Maybe you’re just too close to the system? Maybe you’ve been making these for too many years to see them with fresh eyes?
Yes? No? Either way, we’re here to help! I bet we can all work together to come up with a design that is actually understandable. To a human being. Who hasn’t lived here a couple years. We are one of the greatest cities in the world, if not *the* greatest, surely we’re not lacking the talent!
So, New York/world/tumblr, can we please create a contest, or something, to design a better format for these? Like what the city did for the parking signs. That was an improvement!
I’d be willing to put down $100 towards the prize, as a start. I’d also be willing to spend hours wading through submissions to then present to the MTA.
Any takers?
Sincerely, Confused Commuter Man
PS. I have not researched this post and expect your numerous links to times this has been addressed in the past. Including any reasons why it’s still so awful. Feel free to link in the comments/reblogs. :)
PPS. Related, I wonder if the MTA has a style guide for these.

I haven’t told anyone just yet… so you’re the first to know tumblr.

There’s a good chance I will be moving away to Vermont. Anywhere from the next 5 months to a year. I’m trying to work out the details, and it’s still a plan that has no concreteness… but the possibility is there. I have a friend who wants to go with me, and she grew up there, and knows tons of folks within the community of Burlington. The people there just may be more my flavor, it may feel more like home and with her by my side I think i’d be fine with taking that gamble, and starting my “adult” life there.

Shhhh…. don’t tell anyone, or you might jinx it. 

Martyr for a lost cause.

I feel so alone tonight… I wish romance wasn’t dead… but it seems it is. Maybe I’ll get lucky in my old age, till then I’m going to cradle this loneliness with my own two hands. Because no one I’ve met knows how to care enough to attempt to take it away.

I’m happier with certain aspects of my life. But I feel so jaded at the moment. Looking back as all this rain falls and I’m melancholic. For I’ve wasted too much time on people who have simply failed to reciprocate my affections. Right now, I’m feeling the sting of it all.
