I recently have been going through a rough patch if sorts which made my passions dwindle dramatically. That was like a month ago and now I'm doing so much better <3
Summer is almost here and I'm so excited to get my exams out of the way. In the first time in forever I'm actually confident about doing well, and I think this year I've actually found a wonderful support system.
Anyways I just hit a bump in the road, but for now everything is clear.

I’m in the best place I’ve ever been in mentally. I have clarity about who I am and peace about embracing her. I’ve stopped running from myself and I’m glad to be here. Regardless of what events take place in the next few months, I’m looking forward to living in the present and just being me.

This summer was pretty intense mentally and physically (after already feeling burned out in May post-graduation), but I feel like I’m coming back to myself a little. 🥲 Resumed editing a YA fantasy novel draft I had finished writing in Fall 2022, started writing a contemporary romance novel draft, and hope to finish both by Christmas this year. I’m also slowly getting back into exercising and studying Chinese (anyone fluent or currently learning?).
Good luck with August everyone!! 💛

I think that their story is overshadowed by other greek love (if you can even call some that) stories like Orpheus and Eurydice, Hades and Persephone, and Aphrodite and Adonis. I analyzed this piece for my art class in the first semester of junior year and am still working on it for a study; it's cool actually how something that takes seconds to admire can take hours to gain insight. Greek myths I think prove that there's a bit of human in everyone; forgiveness and redemption, power and betrayal, love and hate.

I cried like a baby the other day, and honestly I'm glad I did.
In my core class I was doing some research on my EE topic, mainly focusing on Marina Abramović since I'm obsessed with her work so obviously my essay is revolved around her.
Anyways,
Amidst my research I took in time to view a fuller extent of The Artist is Present'. I knew it was an all day things, how people lined up to view it and even how celebrities such as Alan Rickman and Bjork sat with Abramović. The main thing about this was to have a conversation without words and instead utilize eyes, expressions, and sighs.
I know there are photos and videos of people crying and such when meeting Abramović, but she wouldn't have any extreme reactions other then smiling or sometimes shedding a single tear. Moreover, she would not move her arms nor extend them to the person sitting across from her.Â
Ulay was a German performance artist who had a relationship with Abramović with twelve years and after mutually agreeing to separating, they decided to meet each other at the great wall of China. The two started at opposite ends and met at the middle which took three months, they hugged, and this act was called 'Lovers'.
I love artist lore especially when it's about two people who have history together in the same profession.
Anywho so one day while Abramović is seated with eyes shut, a guy takes a seat on front of her and when they lock eyes the two immediately becone teary eyed.
Because it's Ulay and their first time seeing each other in years.
They cry, laugh, smile, and for the first time extends her arms to hold Ulay's hands, to which he takes.
So yeah, seeing it made me bawl and it's overall such a powerful clip. I think everyone should watch it.
I think too that it encapsulates that despite growing far from a previous loved one, the emotions are still kept in tact waiting for a chance to sprout again.

I am super excited I'm going on a roadtrip with my wonderful boyfriend which also equals endless questions and my annoying meter knows no bounds.
I have matcha, my Sonny Angel, my lip combo, his hoodie, cherry Tylenol, Massive Attack and Portishead I am absolutely unstoppable.
