Pyper's Hyacinths Garden

hello there. 🫐

If you are like me, you feel the urge to create something and have your mind constantly glowing with new ideas, however for one reason or another, you never give yourself the time and peace to sit down and actually create.

maybe it's the fear of not being good enough, maybe your life is to hectic, meybe you've lost touch with your creative side (or you just have adhd like me sigh), whatever the case might be letting loose and letting your being be transported by doing something you love is the key to feeling happiness and actually love yourself.

this being said, I've created a list of 20 questions (you don't have to do them every day, I understand that pursuing an hobby is not an every day thing!) and challenges and the intent is to either do something related to the challenge or to reply to the questions and post your creation. 🐚

I hope that by the end of this challenge we'll have learned something new but most of all understood our potential and talents all the while making time to just play around and have fun!

what's something you've always wanted to learn?

is there something that comes natural to you? something that calls you?

when are you the happiest?

make/try something you've always wanted to make/try but

have you ever given up on an hobby? could you try again?

share something you've made that you're proud of

try doing something you loved as a child

try something out that intimidates you

how is learning new things going? have you discovered something about yourself?

do something inspired by you fav movie/book (drawing, writing, hands on creations etc.)

make something for yourself <3

resume an old project or idea

if you could make a job out of an interest of yours, what would that be?

what are your strengths?

make something for your loved ones/pets

have you ever tried something and decided it wasn't for you?

if you could have any talent, what would you choose?

what's a project you'd like to dedicate more time and energy to?

is there an area you'd like to get better at?

how did this experience go? what did you learn about yourself? share the projects you've loved the most if you feel like it!

yesterday I went to a photography exhibition about Shapiro's work with Bowie and it was visually stunning.

It was also a beautiful experience to walk between such pictures with Bowie's song playing on the speaker, it made me realise how much I appreciate art and that I should pursue it more freely just for the sake of the joy, not always thinking about how good I am.🦋

Tomorrow I'll start the second semester at uni and I'm both positively curious (I'll start a creative writing course!) and a bit anxious. 🌃

went into a nearby city to frolic peacefully and bathe in the alternative scene that's unfortunately so foreign for someone like me who lives in a small town.🦋

I also went to see a photography exhibition about Shapiro and Bowie (pics will come tomorrow!) and it was fascinating.🧑‍🎤

I used to live in that city, however, I was very young and naive so never enjoyed it and was often overwhelmed by fears. Going there today was both therapeutic because I've changed so much for the better that I think I'd be able to love the city, I'm more carefree and believe in myself, however, it was also a bit sad because I thought about in what a dark place I used to be.🌼

Hello There 🌃

(long time no see)

sometimes life does that thing where it goes so fast and events, deadlines and feelings all pile up, until all you want to do is just find the comfort of your bed and wholesome content

I'm in the midst of exam season, with a bit of a broken heart because of a friend and the feeling that I constantly know myself better than I did the day before.

January felt so long, however, placid too I guess. How have you been feeling? What did the stars have in store for you all?

Hello there!✨

Life has been such a blur lately that being now in a peculiar moment of tranquility, I remembered to update this lil corner of the Internet.

Friendships have been rocky and through that I learned immensly about myself and how I want to move in the world, there has been much pain these past few weeks due to misunderstandings, silences and just being young but, this made me realise how important to me these people are and the lengths I'd go for them

Uni work has being steady and I think I'm on schedule?? I've found a small part time job in a cute little herbalist shop (first pic) so my time has been divided quite a bit.

This is the last week of uni before Christmas' holidays so next week I'll have more time to plan and study for January's exams session <3

These past few days have felt like a long Sunday and I've been lost amongst the folds of melancholy and just, end of the year confusion I suppose?

I've been feeling stuck and slumbering, all I really did was watch Netflix and journal, however, I'm really trying to get back on track with uni. I just want to have indeterminate free time to enjoy my hobbies with tranquility, you know?

Also, I binged 1899 and absolutely adored it, as a language and translation student it was so fascinating to watch on screen some theories I studied!
