double the major double the time double the fun… took me nearly 6 years. in these few years I lived through a global pandemic, got diagnosed with ADHD, dyed my hair blonde, red, & black in varying lengths and tones, fell in love, travelled to europe, aligned more deeply with my queerness, moved out of home, and ended my veganism only to end up with celiac disease. I started this degree when I was 17 (late bday) and finished it at 23 with tiramisu and a lot of vodka.
I am very loved and cherished. There’s nothing that made me deserving of the privelage and pace at which I move through the world. I am the first brown woman in my mom’s side/ immediate family to be in her early twenties with no familial or martial burdens to carry. I am so so blessed!! shoutout to my parents for funding this hopeful little artist 🎓
also pic of my grad dress below. I got it from Y2K Vintage in London, Brick Lane. it’s been hanging in my room since I came back feom my trip, and it felt like such a milestone to put it on for the purpose that I bought it for: to graduATE 💜

Getting an official diagnosis is a major win! It’s only up from here, trust me.

I was supposed to graduate in 2021, but I was having a *horrible* time for a multitude of reasons. I finally made the call around April to quit for the year and try again in the fall. At the time I felt like a total failure, but now I’m so happy I did that!!! I got to have my studio in-person because restrictions had lifted, I used the extra mental bandwidth to do some soul-searching and find myself, and I ended up with a project that I was passionate about and put my whole heart into! Truly one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself

Feeling fulfilled, warmed, and bittersweet to leave. Ready to start a new journey and see where it takes me. I made connections I will keep close to my heart forever ❤️

I got my nails done and I realized the star on the index finger makes the nails PI themed. Semi unconscious yet a soft-smile realization while the nail tech was painting the star on.

Bring back being genuine about your suffering on the internet. was that ever really a thing? is tumblr just a social anecdote to a form of media we thought / wished we had?
