Burning House

My name is Selina Appel. I am 21 years old and I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am a free-lance photographer, student, and bank teller. Aside from these things that define who I am, I also have things that I love and enjoy. If my home were ever to catch fire and burn to the ground I would lose a lot of things that I take for granted. By "take for granted," I mean these material things have more importance to me than I give them credit. I could go on with my life easily without these materials, but if I had the chance, these would be the materials I would save. 

- A photograph of me and my brother when he was an infant. 

This photograph means a lot to me. Growing up my family moved many times, and this photograph reminds me of the place we called home when my brother first arrived. In fact, in this same month that the photograph was taken, our home almost did catch fire. I was forced awake one morning to evacuate, luckily the fire department was able to stop the fire before any serious damage. 

- My car keys

I did not pay much for my car, but I have bought every car I have ever owned without any help from others. My car is my freedom, and my independence. 

- Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari

I have been working on this book for over a year now. It is easy reading, I just haven't had the chance to finish it yet. The book is hilarious, but also educational and historical. As soon as I graduate in May, I plan to finish reading. 

- Black Heels

I bought these shoes over the summer. I haven't had the chance to wear them yet, but I can't wait for the opportunity. I always buy really dressy clothes, and shoes, but never really have the time to use them.

- Converse

These are my every day shoes. Don't you love them? 

- Coffee Mug

This summer I bought this mug at Tjmaxx. I was with someone that means a lot to me, and we had a great day. The level of attachment that I have to this mug is slightly unusual. I just like to remember the great day, weather, and did I mention it was on clearance? 

- Daily Planner

I am a scatter brain, and I try to use planners as my anecdote. If I were to lose my planner, I can only imagine the mess I would be. 

- Morphe 3502 Pallet

I bought this pallet as a gift for my cousins, and myself. I ordered them around Christmas time, and they came shattered. It was a pain to replace, but the reds and oranges in the pallet aren't like anything you can buy in a store. 

- Urban Decay Ultimate Basics

This is the only pallet I own with quality mauve colors. 

- Ghirardelli Chocolate

I would need something special to get me through the hard times.
