New Year

This year meant so many new things. It began with being in a team where I met everyone but not that well enough to be in a serious team with, and then if I thought that was hard, my first steady job appeared and it meant to be with a whole bunch of new people just with one exception. It meant also new friendships that turned out to be the best ones that I couldn’t possibly imagine from those persons. It mean to be there when my best friend needed me and support her when the things were going hellish. It also meant one first date and a inevitable heartbreak afterwards.

This year also had a bunch of new books that taught me pretty interesting things and others that just let me wondering about the real meaning of everything -damn existentialism- but in the end, good stories recommended by a special someone.

Let’s not be a couple:

Love dies in a relationship as time goes by, it tears down the eagerness for each other, it strips naked the mystery when it’s our bodies the ones that are imploring to be uncovered. Let’s just be lust and books, let the passion of our bodies speak a great dialogue between our minds. Let’s not make plans, just live the time that we can be together. 

Yestarday I was watching a video of how to become an early bird, I thought it was good to try it again since last time I failed after a week. Some of my friends are early birds by nature but when I try to construct that habit I kinda look like I’m cosplaying a bird with a grumpy face.

You can’t have so many minds

Not long ago I started working as a designer at an agency. It felt really nice at the time because it meant the first steady job that I had in my life: having a schedule, co-workers, a desk where you put souvenirs to make it feel a more home, etc. which was actually an experience I think as a profesional, in whatever area you’re in, have to live to really know how to judge it.

As I started college classes again, I got a little disappointed to see that the actual “real world” doesn’t look a bit of what you think when you’re learning safe and sound Because the less you know the less you’ll be disappointed, but being an ignorante it’s not an alternative so, living part time student, part time jr. designer I started to get frustrated with teachers, classes, the school as a whole, etc. Specially when teachers tell you to “get creative” but it’s their choice to say if your design is good, it’s their style that you have to follow and it get’s really complicated to realized how little minded some might be, specially in this area. So I read, I investigated and based my visual choices in facts and still it wasn’t enough to get approval, just because I was contradicting the professor’s word and said there’s more than one way to approach a design besides his. Ultimately i had to give up because I didn’t wanted to fail, and it felt so unfair to agree to something just because the teacher say so.
