bringing in the year <3

by Rachel Lynch

Bringing in another beautiful year on the blog. Thankful for all of you who have been with me since I was 18. Getting ready to leave for South Africa tomorrow & I can’t wait to make art and photographs there.

Excited to trust my vision more for the next year, and stop giving a shit about what everyone else wants from me. I want to trust myself so deeply, I know I can.

heart on fire,

see you in the new year

montauk, new york

by Rachel Lynch

On the first day of December, we decided to take a road trip out to Monatuk. I’ve never been before, I’ve actually only been to long island 3 times in my entire life. When I leave New York City, I’m usually leaving the country, or flying to Los Angeles. It was cool to do something so nearby, but so different.

The sunrise was absolutely beautiful the morning we drove out - all kinds of wild pinks. I was hungover, regretful but grateful. We stayed at a really old motel. I loved the interior, and we had a little balcony where the sun shone in like wild. We ate french fries and crab for lunch, walked down to the beach for sunset. I took my clothes off and danced around in the cold, while sean shot film and medium format.

It was a good day - it’s been a good year. I went through so many hard things, a lot of which I can see I caused myself. There’s something so freeing about that. Knowing we have the power to change the way our life is going.

celestial feeling

by Rachel Lynch

i’ve got a celestial feeling. a movement through my veins. angel of small death and the codeine scene.

a look that i know, i love you more than ever now. is this what it comes to? a familiar feeling.

i am the wildest of hearts, my sweet spade. but you already know all that you’re in for.

crush

by Rachel Lynch

i wish i woke up every day feeling this strange. the divine connection to this obscure artist that turns out to be you. there is no dissonance between who you want to be and who you are. when you look in the magazines, you don’t see yourself or anyone you’d like to be. you’ve come more full circle than that. you’ve crossed the divide of who you are and who you are becoming.

sonder daughter in love. make up your mind. “is it him or me,” he says. i apologize. my intentions were golden, meant for the skies. perhaps, my lofty ambitions cut me at the ankles again. broken but building, don’t you know i thrive in this state of mind. i rewrite and relive the same story over and over again because it fuels me.

everything feels new, but it has felt new once before.

chulahoma

by Rachel Lynch

my mind is ramblin’, these demons walk free. dreams of music and fire in my mind. why can’t trouble find a new friend. shaking dreams from my hair and wearing cowboy boots all over lower manhattan.

it’s about to be a wild winter
