Rec'd on 🕯️ whats ’in’ for you this year / right this moment?

Its very hard for me to make friends. I feel like I know a lot of people but I am not friends with anyone??..if that makes any sense. I am going to try to form better and deeper relationships with the people around me. Manifesting beautiful friendships for myself :)

hey this is beautiful i really love this! as important as close platonic connections are, ive found the are sometimes even overemphasised in our own personal importance due to social emphasis on them.. make sure you know what you need, too. but also beautiful sentiment love love the thought of truer connection on a deeper level❤️💫

And no one talks about how hard it is deepening platonic connections. Hitting people from work or university up like “would you like to hang out with me in a social setting for…. fun? “ and hoping they say yes !!

choosing Your friends

I love meeting people and then making an effort to become one on one friends with them. Some of my best friends I’ve made in adulthood have been chance encounters where I decided i needed to learn more about that person and consequently sought them out. These have blossomed into very fulfilling and creatively inspiring friendships. I don’t tend to work very well in friendship groups so this is the model that I have found works for me.

finding the right people

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously, I love my friends.

MISSING POTTERY CLASS

OKAY I know this is silly!! This picture was of one of my first pottery pieces that I threw on the wheel, trimmed and glazed successfully in college. I remember being so proud of myself. I miss my pottery class so much . I had so much fun in this class and it really made me want to take art seriously. Also I just love how silly this Garfield looks

a friend recommended them to me a couple weeks ago. I immediately fell in love. It reminds me of Cocteau Twins. I think they helped work on some of the songs if I am not mistaken. I have been needing some new music to listen to so this came at the perfect time. relaxing easy listening music, my fav.
