I have a good friend that really likes the ampersand symbol; this bad boy right here “&”. While its shape is a bastardization of a-t, meaning and in Latin, there is a beautiful little saying behind the ampersand.
“A broken
infinity. It reminds us that nothing truly lasts
forever but there is always an AND”
So, nothing really lasts forever. Bad
things pass. Grief will fade away…etc.
I love the ampersand, I do, but I have
always liked the lemniscates more. Lemniscate. More commonly known at the infinity
symbol. I didn’t know it had a specific name until a few months ago. I always
drew these figure eights when I was stressed. Still do. There’s something
comforting in those endless loops. I like to think that my love for those
around me will last forever. I will constantly be there for those who need me without fail. I will will remember to be kind and forgiving at every turn. My loyalty will never waiver. I will always find happiness.
Always

Denise, Nicole and I all went out to get a little festive
with matching manicures. Originally Nicole came up with the idea of getting
candy cane designs on her nails, which I ended up stealing for a ‘feature nail’
or whatever the hell you call it. That idea snowballed and we all ended up with
glittery matching Christmas nails. Aside from everyone getting French manicures
at grad, I don’t think I’ve ever had matching sets done before. It was a lot of
fun and we celebrated after with lunch at the Henry.
