I have entered some sort of hyper creative mode recently. I don't know exactly where it comes from but probably my perspectives changing and also interacting with new people.

I'm trying to take my life less seriously which is difficult but it is working quite well. I have really made progress in that way. It helps me to just let things out.

This creative flow started some time ago. Maybe like 2 months or so. I started thinking in terms of projects again. I started seeing scenarios in everything and wanted to create new worlds with paint and words.

However the creativity has just been building up with a lot of blockages still in the way. Now, finally, I can create again. Today I have written 3 notes in a Google Docs that cover about 2 pages. I have written some in my journal and I've made a 40 minute sound recording (podcast style) on my phone to open up my thinking some. I also made 2 silly sketches in my sketchbook.

I really like the winter this year. Lots of snow, little amount of ice and days that didn’t feel as dark as they usually do.

I spent a lot of time walking which is unusual for me. After I hurt my knee in 2023 I avoid the outdoors as soon as the first snow comes creeping but not this time around.

Especially January and February has been good. By the beginning of this year I stumbled across someone on a date. I haven’t met him since and probably won’t again but he taught me a few good things. He asked me questions that I had forced away from my mind for years. By the next day I found myself getting out of my comfort zone multiple times. I went to places I hadn’t been before and allowed my mind to stay silent.

In February my mom had to leave town. My grandmother got sick and so she had to take care of her. This left me with a lot of alone time. For 3 weeks I lived alone which was a freeing experience. Despite being worried.

Now when snow is melting it is a reminder of the times ahead, graduation. As my classmates discuss which of the 3 year programs they are gonna check in to, I find myself very distanced from it.

I always thought that it would be a good idea to get some working experience first and maybe study part-time but my classmates make me question my decisions.

Anyways, while they want to become psychiatrists and doctors and lawyers I have found some really funny short courses. Like the one in mythology or maybe creative writing. We’ll see. I don’t want to stop learning just not as intensely as now.

Lots of love ❤️

I have had this idea for quite some time. The idea to make a sweater with a print similar to news articles. The articles will most likely be of people I look up to.

I’m thinking about planting tomato next spring and maybe some sunflowers that I will keep indoors. I found a type of sunflower that only becomes about 70cm in height which would be perfect ☀️

I already have a basil plant but I am a bit worried that it will die soon since I had an infestation of flies in it early on. I do have more seed so next year the windowsill will be full 🌱

As you may have heard of you’re a frequent visitor, I have started a meditation journey. For the next 180 days (half a year) I will meditate every day or catch up on the days I missed. ⭐️

I just reached half way through this challenge and tomorrow is day 100 but I’ve been struggling a lot.

This past week I’ve only meditated on time twice which has lead me to meditating around an hour daily for the past 2 days.

I feel like time is running away from me every day because I’ve been caught up in different projects. I also believe that I’m slacking on meditation because I’ve reached the middle of this challenge which makes me realise how much is left.

Last week I watched the interview that Ivy Corvus made with the psychic medium Raya and I was very inspired 💖

Recently I started reading a few books on psychic ability since I want to start communicate with spirits more and because of that I thought it was interesting to stumble across that interview.

One of the things Raya mentioned in the section where she talked about 10 tips to become more in tune and more psychic. One of the tips was ”spiritual self care”, here she mentioned that it is important to take basic needs into consideration 🪷

Even though this has always been obvious to me, the statement still lit something up in me.

What I did:

I started making a list over basic needs with a little help of online resources as well as some papers my teacher gave me in psychology class.

Secondly I wrote down what I do prioritise with each basic need and what needs more attention. Example: sleep - 8 h of sleep each night, doesn’t go to bed at the same time each evening

After writing down what I do good and bad I started ranking each need with between 1 and 10 where 10 is easy to fix / doesn’t need to be changed and 1 is hard to fix.

After ranking each need I wrote a full A5 page about each need more in depth in the order of ranking. Here I wrote things such as what is good and why, what is bad and why, what is limiting and why and how I can come around these obstacles.

My prosperity, joy and self-love spell that I started on the summer solstice was finished a few days ago. I am currently wondering where I should despose of my spell ingredients (all of them are nature-safe).

I'm thinking about throwing them near a park or by the crossroads or other liminal space. I'm also thinking about putting it outside of my home but I live in an apartment so that isn't ideal to me.

I made a goal for 2025 of picking around 1 kg herbs and berries in total this summer and autumn. I am about to begin this soon more seriously because the berries are starting to ripen.

I already picked some lilacs and made lilac syrup. Now I want to pick blue berries and freeze them for winter. I also want to make jams and pies with self-harvested plants since I haven't really done that before.
