Ahsante the Artist

Cheers to the freakin weekend❗️ I’ve been letting my #workaholic tendencies get the best of me (part of why I’ve been low-key 👻 on Insta) and I’m starting to feel the grind 🤯. There will always be more to do, more goals to achieve, more emails to send, more ways I could #hustleharder. But you also have to stop to smell the flowers, take a walk, enjoy the journey.🌸 Here’s to not abandoning the creative spirit that got me here in the first place.☀️✨ #itsspring #stopandsmelltheflowers #igdc #livespiritedly #thinkcreatively #calledtobecreative #alwaysworking #hustlehard #careergoals #lovewhatyoudo #blackgirlsrock #melaninmagic #tgif #takeabreak https://www.instagram.com/p/Bhhshngn7Bp/

Taught myself #ukelele and wrote a #valentinesday tune for all my fellow singles 💖 (Link in bio if you’re interested) https://www.instagram.com/p/BfLaJY7FI9d/

Lots of moving, PBS-ing, creating, and good food. It's been quite a year #2017bestnine #bestnine2017 #endoftheyear https://www.instagram.com/p/BdYojbdFgbW/

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night 🎅🏾🎄🎁😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/BdJlERmFuo7/

I've now been at @pbsds for a full year! Here's to holding onto a job and making internet videos for a living 👍🏾🥂#PBSNerd #workingwoman https://www.instagram.com/p/BbM7itjlP_A/

Escaping into nature with the PBS crew was wonderful #KenBurnsTheWoods #naturetime #nationalparks #thehillsarealive https://www.instagram.com/p/BZzkWZAFcXk/

Chicago was so refreshing. Friends and fun - just the break I needed. #chitown #architecturelovers #brightlightsbigcity https://www.instagram.com/p/BXByMEvFytj/

Today, after over a year of holding on to them, I finally threw away my moving boxes. I started collecting them a month after I moved in to my first place in Boston, which is when I got 90 days notice I would need to move out. Since then, I haven’t lasted a month in one place without knowing I would probably need to move again - so I didn’t bother making myself at home. I figured that something would come up, and I’d save myself the trouble of having to start my move from scratch every time. I’m knocking on every piece of wood in this apartment (which isn’t much), but I really think this is the one. I’ve signed a real lease - the kind I can’t just walk out of, I have a roommate who is a decent human being, and a room where I can’t hear the phone conversations of my neighbors. It feels like the kind of place I could stay a while. And I said this the last time, but I REALLY don’t want to have to move again. So even though it’s been less than a month, I’m calling it now and chucking the boxes out. My anchor is down. ⚓️ #alwaysonthemove #moving #boxes #zigzags #hustlehard #hustleharder #onthegrind #nomad #lines #citydweller #dreamchasers https://www.instagram.com/p/BWsbWlpFuZH/
