I’ve been struggling with identity and purpose as of late. It’s hard for me to live day by day when I feel left behind.
At least I have this moment of coziness in my room 🕯 🍀
“Don’t kill flowers growing inside of you for someone who doesn’t appreciate the way you bloom.”
— Billy Chapata
As the pond becomes more and more polluted, a frog decides to go on a journey with a fish, where he meets other animals faced with the same problem and tries to see if things can be done. Or else the animals will have to move and leave the pond. Even if they can make a change, in the end, woudn't it all be in vain ?
did you know that amphibians are the first to suffer from water pollution especially as they breathe through their skin. Therefore they are excellent indicators of environment health, water quality. No surprise amphibians are some of the most endangered animals in the world.
I explored the mood to train with colours and then put the project aside. So I haven't developed much of the garbage, and polluted environment yet. One day I may get back to it.

Wherever You Go, There You Are: Before bed and morning read, I found it in a little library. It’s helping me get into meditation and mindfulness again. Easy to read with short chapters.
Positive Pagan: Found her at my local occult/ metaphysical shop. My brain has been very negative so I’m excited to learn as much as I can. I already made the gratitude alter she described!
The Great Gatsby: This is a reread from high school except this time I actually like it. I read this when I cannot stomach reading house of leaves.
House of Leaves: a strange, disturbing book. Can’t read it when I feel disassociate-y or else I start mildly freaking the fuck out. It’s really good!
Made myself a pigeon header 🐦💕!
and of course the classic
never forget dorian gray bought nine copies of a book and "had them bound in different colours so that they might suit his various moods"
the original material girl, i daresay.
