everyone has that one teacher they never forget. for me it was my spanish teacher, alma rosa. she told me her name meant ‘pink soul,’ and it’s still something i find very precious. she really did not take shit from me also. learning in her class wasn’t an option, she was like, ‘you will learn this language.’ and you weren’t allowed to spit a word of english when you walked through her classroom door.
right now as i’m writing this the memory of her making us get up and perform our best skit / play in spanish in front of the entire class while she sat in her chair and laughed at us until tears were streaming from her face, is literally killing me. that is literally so evil, i am laughing. she’d always yell, ‘cállate!!’ to us too, which actually means ‘shut up?’ oh my god, i’m dying. she was so serious, terrifying. yet, so unserious, hilarious.
anyways, i never thought she loved me. i learned a lot from her, she was my favorite teacher of all time. life went on as it does. about 5 years later,
(she lives in my grandma’s neighborhood) she came over to my grandma’s house and handed her a painting i did for a school project when i was in jr. high; an exact replica of ‘the persistence of memory’ by dalí. she’d kept it all those years because she loved it. the project was so special to me because i painted until midnight the day before it was due with my artist grandma who had since passed.
i’m thinking of both ladies, because pink and fuchsia tones are painting my soul lately.
pink soul.
1. this room divider. i’ve been on the search for the perfect one to use as a headboard.
2. very into travel journals right now. i’m ordering this one- i plan to do some traveling in the near future and want to do it differently than digitally. love the idea of having something that wears over time and is just jammed full of travel treasures, photos, tickets etc. for my kids to look through one day.
3. all things organza, this shopper tote.
4. this fuchsia berber rug from etsy. super into statement color blocking rugs in the home right now.
5. mosaic phone case. i ordered the yellow one and low key regret it, i want this one haha.
6. ceremonia guava perfume mist. screams peak summer to me. buying only for the bottle honestly, look at it.
7. something about this hand painted glass vase thing for trinkets does it for me.
8. classic melissa jellies but different.
9. my next nail inspo.
10. found these silk pillow covers and can’t forget about them.
