My very first zine! I kept it really small just to learn but I had such fun making it.

I recently saw this hyperrealist painting by artists Leng Jun and it quite frankly blows my mind.

I've been struggling a lot with my mental health lately. Feeling very unmotivated and frustrated by it. Considering signing up for therapy but always chickening out. I've been getting a bit behind in my studies but knowing I'll manage to pull it out of the bag and get my assignments done on time regarldless. Still coping with the death of my Mum 7 month ago. And also trying to get through the admin of reverting my name to my maiden name after divorce. It's a lot. But today has been a good day (despite having a bit of an upset tummy and kidney pain). I've skin read the course material I'm behind on with a focus on my next assignment and have also painted my nails. So a bit of self care is a win. I'm itching to make a few mini zines for myself. maybe I'll do that tonight as a reward for reading my course work. I miss blogging a lot and am always very nostagiac about the days of Livejournal and my friendbase there. Maybe tumblr can be that space again. I don't know, but I can but try.
