Enjoy while it lasts ~ That's my new motto in life ~

09.10.2024 // day 230 // trying to be present.

same old. reading, writing, drinking coffee. made a jar of honey lemon ginger tea mix/syrup even though it's going to be summer soon. i'm all out of words.

There are screams inside me that I can't stop. Even though I try to keep my face still, I'm afraid that one day I'll dissolve and disappear. I have to continue to stay calm. Calm down, relax. Don't show your feelings. Just don't.

Learn something new every day, and you’ll soon be a decade ahead of everyone else.

the relationship between a person and the native flora and fauna of where they grew up is something that can actually be so personal

I’m back in Ireland now, but I’m still thinking about these moments from France. Taking a nostalgic walk around Jardin Public, sketching in the local greenhouses and sweet treats with my love 💗

An afternoon in Dublin marvelling at all the cute bookshops and the red brick buildings. I’m always so happy to come by here to stock up on English books~

my goal for today: just work for 3 hours or so and see what happens

the fact tht u can actually always just try again

at the end of the day it’s just you and your silly little life. so go on, enjoy it, be the person you want to be.

Anyway on a lighter note in the vein of the “let yourself be a beginner” post:

I love it and I wish people would work on the skill of being a beginner

bc it really IS a skill. it’s acquired and honed.

being willing to learn to find humor in the process of learning and your mistakes. learning to tolerate frustration and confusion. learning to pace yourself when you want to rush past discomfort. learning how you like to learn. and should the time come—learning to take take critique and correction.

please please please work on being a beginner you never know what you may fall in love with and who you might meet thru your interests

Everything in life is temporary and always changing but it’s crazy how we always assume things will be the same forever. This sickness will continue forever. This good health will continue forever. These relationships with people I love will be the same forever. This misery will continue forever. But it’s not true. Anything could be around the corner! Lives can change within seconds, such is this world. This misery will end, so cheer up. These relationships will change so make the most of them now so you don’t regret it too much when they do. You will be okay. You will be fine.

Gloomy Saturday. The 1975′s new album, coffee, freelance work, some writing, maybe some reading later

Blue winter day.

i’m at a point in my cycle of interests where i’ve come back to audiobooks—which means i’ve also come back to knitting. when i’m in a reading phase, i listen to new music, and when i’m in a making phase, i sink into audiobooks…

in a month i’ll switch back and put my kindle to good use again, but for now i’m enjoying making ear warmers for myself and my roommates in preparation for the rapidly approaching cold weather ☺️☺️

–Juansendizon

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.

I saw this a few minutes ago.

I really love the woman that I am. I really admire her intellect, her courage, her fear, her taste, her physicality, her distinctions, her desires.
