Sticky Note to Self

The #StickyNotetoSelf project is a semi-daily micro-blog that uses hand-drawn typographic notes to document life lessons, inspirations, and frustrations that each day may bring. Using Instagram as the primary platform for the project, #StickyNotetoSelf interweaves through images of my daily life that serve as context for the experiences and reflections shared. As appropriate, notes includes a description of the experiences which inspired it. As the collection of the actual notes grow, they will be compiled in book form with expanded reflections on the brief “notes to self” they entail.

Someone close to me recently came out, and I can’t stop singing “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” by @diddy and Mase. #stickynotetoself 601
