The things i have learned

in such a short time.

i have been noticing so many tiny details- things that will never be seen again, things that i have walked past everyday, things that people do or say often. i find myself wanting to draw a postcard for every instance, but i would have run through my postcard stash by now! it is a good thing, though. it makes me happy that my eyes seem to be working better now than they ever have- and all because i started drawing on postcards. it makes me happy too that i have found myself more often than not in a looking mood, not so focused on my day or the stress of college life that i miss the small details.

this project has already changed me.
in just a few short months i have become a better observer of things that truly do deserve attention. it goes deeper than mere eyesight, though; something about katie keeley winters has changed. maybe not perceptible to other people, but still there.
i suppose it's kind of one of those things you can't really put into words...


{p.s. i promise those new postcards will be up soon. sadly, the internet at the Hole is not very fast and will not let me upload pictures, so i have to find time outside the home...}
