at this point, i'm going to take it by ear. come with me? by LycheeMonster

im done worrying about whether or not my journals and artwork are 'okay' and put this stuff out there!!!

speaking of that

welcome to spring quarter, my twitter is full of daily musings and tight updates, but i need to get good on the weekly and monthly shit. gonna start planning my shit by the moon calendars : D probably be easier? no clue. whatever happens, more often postings about what im actually thinking about with my art!!!

and general musings. it helps to get stuff out even if its in scattered places. but this should really focus my art more, is starting from the musing and then going to the creation and illustration part of art making. art making happens across all senses including the mental, even when drawing most of what hangs me up is the darn meanings!!! but i digress.

back home from first day of the last quarter of my undergraduate career and i feel like what the nuts im already here... im in the final stretch.....

it took so loooong to get here (no, i am an impatient turd) but thats probably because its my 5th total year of undergrad. im glad to have had the opportunity to suffer through it. its intense. but extremely necessary. even if i haven't accomplished a huge amount of rigorous production, i have reflected and learned and been impacted by my peers who have done what i haven't. that community is so valuable, and i will miss it dearly...

and now i need a snack. but talk to me! how is everyone's week starting out so far? what are your dinner plans? tell me your rose and its thorn (say one good thing and one bad thing) for this coming week and we will all have a bouquet!

at this point, i'm going to take it by ear. come with me?

    I do know the feeling of "okay" a little bit, so I tend to hold onto artwork longer.

    Just a little more so go for it!

    Well my week just be a little strange I recent moved from the place I use to live for half a year and I'm taking my time to find another place (for now I live with an uncle) in "la gran mancha gris". I don't know what I wish to dinner... specially because I usually be out of here all the day.
    About the roses and thorns just I don't know maybe I need back to my hometown because this time I'm really out of money but at least I could finish my last courses of a little degree I'm taking here.

      good to hear you're able to take your time finding a place; are there cities/towns with decent rail/train or public transportation?

      a hearty bowl of stew calms my soul, if you can't decide one evening ;'3

        Unfonrtunatlly I couldn't find a place to move so I'm thinking seroulsy now in move back to my hometown. Well the public transport system are pretty bad here but at least we can move like they're fine. but in distance I can sayd that my born place (Morelia) have a nice system and my actual city (Mexico city) have a nice Metro and "metrobus".

        Hahaha I wish I could eat that too! I'm living like a vegan right now but not because I'm one just for the money loan ;n;

          vegan is harrrrrd you gotta make sure your proteins are completes and you eat enough lipids for your brain. also complex carb chains so you don't like... pass out from low blood sugar.

          • Link

            Yep and I don't want to be vegan haha. I'm eating fine just I don't buy meat and I hope don't feel dizzy soon... maybe thats something that make me decide go back to my hometown :/

    I love that you started this out about not caring about if your journals and art are 'okay'. BE YOURSELF, ALWAYS!!! You are your best you, and I bet EVERYONE will love you for that. n_n <3

    But as for me, my week is starting out pretty great! No complaints here! My dinner plans consist of eating a home-cooked, low-calorie meal since today is day one (ONCE AGAIN; I went off of my diet during vacation because... food.) of a diet that I am doing... which brings me to my next point: My rose is my enthusiasm about losing the weight I direly need to lose; my thorn is not being able to eat all of the delicious food that I am hopelessly addicted to that got me to this point in the first place! hahaha

      first of all thankies u wu i'm just tryin' me best

      you have the inverse thorns of my rose! let's swap some body mass, eh? star trek beam noises

      srs talk: hope its goin good for ya! even if its tough, you can do it! there is no "trick" to the technique of losing weight. so many people just push their limits in the opposite direction, equally unhealthily... for a lasting effect and to even like.. remember what your body feels like and stay in touch and sensitive to your body's own needs is to ease into it; after that its just a matter of keeping up the momentum despite sweaty cramps (drinking water and showers are nice for this). much of it is remapping your nerve pathways for your muscles and skin. i went through it really drastically earlier last year and am coming out of some serious nerve silence. its scary but okay!
