MURE: living things

I’m never sure whether to post these things here because this was always meant to be, “oh yes specifically art things” but I think it might actually be beneficial to dedicate this blog for all sorts of things (artthings and headthoughts and brainthinkings especially) to chart that sort of progress…
Bethan, i feel exactly the same sometimes - and it frustrates me, because it means i can’t seem to be creative and it makes me feel a bit worthless. I have unnecessary anxiety over silly things like: time is going really fast, and death and scary things like that. I don’t know what to do with myself, and i don’t feel very grounded. I’ve put it down to the fact we’re at funny ages where we’re technically adults now, and we’re just getting used to it. Not to mention the fact we’re at University now. I’m actually ok today, and i hope you are too :) xxx
ahh Sophie, this is so lovely! it’s nice to know that other people feel the same (I think maybe everyone does, at some point, but for some people maybe it goes on longer)
and I definitely feel the frustration at not being able to be creative! (I think a lot of this is sometimes from pushing too hard and imagining what I should be doing, rather than focusing on the process of just enjoying stuff and not worrying too hard about the outcomes)
funny ages is definitely a good point! I hear you on the time going too fast: i worry about social things, about whether I’m, “right” or, “making the right decisions” (which I don’t think matters as much as people say it does: making mistakes is good for you so long as no one gets injured!!)
it’s good to hear you’re doing good! I’m okay today too (and in light of the past few weeks, that’s pretty awesome) :D here’s to kicking ass xxx

living things
I’m never sure whether to post these things here because this was always meant to be, “oh yes specifically art things” but I think it might actually be beneficial to dedicate this blog for all sorts of things (artthings and headthoughts and brainthinkings especially) to chart that sort of progress as much as anything else
lately I have been tired, upset and very anxious (about a lot of things which aren’t really anything at all) which is generally squishysquashing my zest for life and living and my poor little imagination
worrying’s not worth it. even if terrible things do occur I still got hands and a heart and a head (unless terrible things somehow involve decapitation/maiming and even so I’ll still have something )
and there are still tiny wonderful things happening everyday and amazing things your brain can think up (the things I love, that get swaddled up and missed in all this nauseating worry about nothing). just go with things. stuff changes, life changes and I think often I spend too much time trying to read people’s minds/predict the future to safeguard myself and get everything very wrong indeed!
so here’s to beginning to stop carrying around unnecessary fear (a thing which I’m sure will take a long time to eradicate), and to living. and I have some ideas for MAKING THINGS to help me along
and in the meantime here are two songs I like: one and two (I especially like how Basia Bulat almost cradles the autoharp like a baby. makes me joyful)

laptop update: it’s being sent away for repairs tomorrow (it was miraculously under warranty for accidental repairs until the end of april!) and I am currently mooching laptop privileges from kindhearted family members
in other news, I have not been feeling too well for a while. but drawing Bezwick the cat feeling like shit too is helping me to get along
