You’ll see me talk about that more soon, but first I have to file some paperwork. That means this account is slowly going to be more and more about design and personality branding, rather than just photos of me.<br/> 👁My new year aspiration to get fat and eat every 2-3hrs has been a tough new habit for me. But, on the day’s I successfully eat all day, I’ve found my mood, anxiety, and shakiness is all evened out.<br/> 👁I really enjoy all of your comments and messages. I know you’ve watched me try out a lot of new things on my Instagram recently and I appreciate that you’re along for the ride.🥰<br/> —<br/> #creativity #sunday #design #branding #review #eyesight #foresight #discernment #pupils #blind #illustration #austin #ICON #doodles #colorful #colorfull #blink — view on Instagram <a href="http://bit.ly/2AxxuyS">http://bit.ly/2AxxuyS</a></p>https://buyalex.tumblr.com/post/181784701989https://buyalex.tumblr.com/post/181784701989Sun, 06 Jan 2019 17:37:50 -0500InstagramIFTTT<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/351d2d7e0436ccf4302df4e7d3b0f9f6/tumblr_pkviiu6ICI1qzo7qso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>See, I like eye jokes.<br/> The cornea, the better.<br/> —<br/> 📸 @bradshaw_design —<br/> #travel #throwback #paris #crouch #pray #prey #eye #watch #dadjokes #boots #love #summer #orange #adobe #artdirector #puns #👁 — view on Instagram <a href="http://bit.ly/2Fag53d">http://bit.ly/2Fag53d</a></p>https://buyalex.tumblr.com/post/181746904394https://buyalex.tumblr.com/post/181746904394Sat, 05 Jan 2019 14:37:42 -0500InstagramIFTTT<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/44801226f642660708aeb5bd27dccca3/tumblr_pkucuo2iqt1qzo7qso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>See, I like you a lot<br/> You make me buzz like an astronaut<br/> —<br/> #coins #scruff #pits #planets #taurus #earthsign #thirstythursday #daddy #man #birdbox #space #🚀 #👩‍🚀 — view on Instagram <a href="http://bit.ly/2scObei">http://bit.ly/2scObei</a></p>https://buyalex.tumblr.com/post/181728935459https://buyalex.tumblr.com/post/181728935459Fri, 04 Jan 2019 23:37:36 -0500InstagramIFTTT<img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/3470d0161eb6c68522bb697bccae802b/tumblr_pksfewgr271qzo7qso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Reality is merely an illusion<br/> —<br/> You ever think back to a memory only to realize you had combined different stories into a new, fused memory?
