wow my birthday is so soon this is absolutely weird & I have organised & done just about nothing

I have to leave for a shoot in less then 20 minutes

I’m incredibly tired; my eyes want to shut, but I must resist

so excited to have the girls over tonight for a ripe ol’ veg feast

still haven’t gotten my nails done

where can I buy a crown to wear for my birthday

does this place also have single vegan boys with a personality who care about the planet & are interested in more then how one looks

I am desperate to work with bonobos & I don’t want to do about it

I seriously struggle when it comes to science, but have a way with animals - how does one become a cleaner for these places

salt has become too abundant in my diet but I can’t seem to wean myself of it

I know people take the piss at veganism & the vegan community, but man, there are some real good eggs (excuse the irony) in amongst the vegans of the world - I am particularly excited, thrilled & feeling blessed to be borrowing a dehydrator (the one I was considering buying myself & bigger then the one I’m currently borrowing from another vegan friend) from someone who answered my post about dehydrator recommendations or 2nd hand purchases on our local vegan page - the darling said I can long-term borrow it & didn’t ask for a thing (despite my persistent offerings) to which i then shared a lovely conversation where she mentioned the rescued animals she looks after & ah - GOOD EGGS

my hair is agitating me - it’s not part of my face or who am I at the moment, it’s just there sitting & loping; the kind of moments in your hair life where you find you’ve got it tied up most of the time/not looking at it

she hasn’t replied to my email

I’ve read 3 books in the last 5 days & loved it - try reading on a treadmill or bike - game change

HIGHLY recommend the books ‘Better than before’ & ‘Ape House’

can’t wait to have my own place & have everything just the way I like; I think about this so much 

Minimal plastic, glass containers, as much things as possible bought from bulk food places that don’t use plastic, everything vegan, lots of wood, green plants, good vibes, art

Hopefully I’ll get some fresh new paper soon & do some art which I can then SELL YAY - how does one open an etsy or where should I sell them

can’t stop thinking about hanging out on the beach all day somewhere tropical, relaxing, living in the moment & breaking free

I really need to clean my laptop (have been saying this to myself for who knows how many months)

I don’t really have favourite things a lot of the time so here are 3 things I’ve been having & enjoying a lot as of late:

big salads made with whatever we have on hand (peas, corn, carrot, cucumber, tomato, avocado, pumpkin, seeds, sauerkraut, beetroot, zucchini etc), served with my homemade dehydrated veggie wraps - all drowned in tomato sauce, nutritional yeast & italian herbs :) 

fresh fruit meals - again made with whatever we have on hand which at the moment has generally been papaya (with lime of course) and/or watermelon

I’ve been so obsessed with corn/rice rice cakes lately & have been having a couple packets of those most/every other night with a few avocadoes, mayo, lime juice, pepper & tomato or my gluten-free vege spread - in my mind I don’t really see this as a proper meal in itself though so I usually have it in combination with something else that has a diversity of rich nutrients & vitamins; part of a meal I guess! However, I’d recommend them in lower volumes & more as snacks just because they really dehydrate you & (at least in my case) don’t give as much energy as I want/need regardless of how many I eat - I’ve been having them a lot as I’m short on time & they’re incredibly convenient, cheap & (addictingly - you’ve been warned) yummy, but I vowed to change that & get more diversity & whole foods in me now that my exams are practically over :)

Thank you! Sure thing, here’s a quick list:

It’s really quick incredibly & makes me feel incredibly proud to see how far I’ve come in writing essays & studies in general

cleaning/clearing out your room/house/bathroom/wardrobe is so satisfying; it’s like getting waxed after winter

I really feel like getting waxed now

I’ve been studying some crazy hours lately & despite the fact I think it is kinda crazy, I’m really proud 

SHE RANG YAY

what in the hell do I want to do with my life

wow I’ve missed eating such huge amounts of fruit

note to self - YOU NEED MORE FRUIT 

life is scary short, like scarier then the grudge

I really want to improve & expand my content

been sleeping pretty good lately - & by good I am still waking up around 5-6 times every night, but I’m feeling more rested in the morning, probably because I’m more tired from working my butt off for the whole day

literally have running withdrawals, it’s been almost a week since I’ve been able to run - terrible timing given it’s crunch time for my big exams - & I think about running at least once a day

you know what, I really don’t think I like showers very much

note to self; if I get a bath you are getting one of those tables that lays over the top

I had so much fun partying last week

my exams will be over in 3 weeks !!! YAY

my exhibition is in 3 weeks !! YAY BUT ALSO SHIT CAUSE I STILL HAVE STUFF TO DO

I’m beginning to like sweet potato; what a revelation

I’ve been eating new things & it’s really nice & refreshing

holy wow I can’t wait to go away somewhere tropical at the end of the year; I dream all the time of lying in the sun on a sun bed, taking draw-dropping photos, bringing a collection of disposable cameras & potentially even investing (my left limb) in getting a drone (because srsly the views cannot be appreciated by any other camera)

I love photography & cameras so much; not the best hobby to have financial wise

water is awesome; drink up kids

why am I so excited to go clubbing with my family

Pirates of the Caribbean is so good; SO GOOD

I really want to meet new people & hang out with new people; have big DNMs & just get to know society & the broader world

if I end up becoming a lawyer I will be surprised

so unsure about having children

dammit body/mind

I CAN’T WAIT TO WORK & MAKE MONEY; i just feel like it will be so satisfying & I really like working for some reason

note to self - CAN YOU HURRY UP & BUY VEGAN NAIL POLISH YOU’VE HAD THE TABS OPEN FOR WEEKS YOU PAIN IN THE ASS

I really should be getting ready to go to the library

should I have a party for my birthday or not ???? I really want to invite everyone, but at the same time effort/I’m more a low-key person .. 

smoking is so unattractive to me; you got 1 life, 1 body, stop hurting yourself please; if you can’t look after yourself, how you gonna look after me 

I WANT TO MAKE MORE ART ALREADYYYYY

would anyone actually want to buy my work is the question

I think a lot about really wanting bigger boobs; don’t get me wrong I love my small boobs, but I’d also like the option of having bigger boobs sometimes y’know? (this led me to think of some kind of technology where we had settings for our boob size & could adjust to the occasion/outfit)

hurry up & grow hair 

OK REALLY NEED TO GO TO LIBRARY NOW BYE

Here’s what comes to mind for me:

talk to friends who know him & try & instigate something or at least learn a little about him so that you can find something to talk about to make things less awkward in conversation

try to organise to see him or bump into each other again; go to the same event, grab coffee, study together; whatever works & you feel comfortable with

show interest - follow him/like his posts on social media + talking to his friends about him can also do this

be proactive - I have this belief that awkward only exists if you think it’s there, in other words nothing is awkward until you say it is - so I try & believe that nothing is awkward & then nothing really is awkward. THE POINT BEING just go for it, just talk to him & continue talking to him & make things not awkward

If I were to teach you how to make my artworks not only would I be spoiling my personal identity & technique as an artist, but I would be doing what - in my eyes - is unjust as an artist being, not encouraging to find your own way, your own practice & your own style.
