"liftoff" - 27.03.20

War between your thighs

You've been through a lot

More downs than highs

And the things you never thought

Came crawling into your ears

Oh you're frightened my dear

I'll hug away your fears

Before you shed a tear

Conflict on your hands

You've been through a lot

Oh the flooding promised lands

And flowers blooming in rot

You neglect reality

Reject how things go

You're a goddess forgetting her mortality

Going with the flow

Pain marks like canyons

Have wrecked mansions

Of your dreams

Of hope

Of respect

Oh honey

If you only could see your feathers of suns

Muscles of stars

Waiting for a liftoff

To the ones

To the places far from the scars

"distance" - 15.02.20

We craved each others heat

we craved each others warmth

We hugged in the winds heap

And laughed and so forth

But now that we're together

I feel a little weird

Cuz something I craved forever

Suddenly disappeared

And we feel like home

Like the best safety

But when I roam

When I act hastily

I wonder why do I feel sick without you

And at the same time so distant near you

At the same time I doubt you,

Your feelings, and if I should continue

But putting that aside

I drown in our voices

And close myself inside

And drift away to unknown places

Where I know you'll be

My sweet honey

I am speed

If you’re a little like me, you don’t have much time for your hobbies. So how is it possible to have fresh herbs and other greens without spending any time on them? or money?

How about using invasive or fast growing plants first? They usually don’t require much attention.

here are some fast growing and easy to learn for beginners plants:

radishhhh

micro-greens and sprouts - I do this in just water or very little soil

herbs ( mint , cilantro/coriander,  parsley, chervil, basil, oregano, dill ), duh

lettuce - all of them as far as I know

green onions/ spring onions

i dunno chives I guess if you like

rocket (not team rocket- just the plant)

spinach ( LET”S BE LIKE POPEYE Y'ALL )

courgette

bok choy ( yep, that’s a thing now )

beetroot 

cucumber ( lots of water on this bastard )

potatoes P0Tat@es POTATOES ( this one is nice for apocalypse )

marigold ( yes, you can EAT it )

???? bay leaf ???

lemongrassss ( I make my own cosmetics from it ! )

and heres some info on mint

sprouts SpRoUtS SPROUTS

Are you broke like me? Well fear not my friend ! Take a glass jar, some water and some seeds that you find and let’s make some fresh greens !

What will I need? A jar, tap water, seeds and a screen ( I use a new insect screen or a gauze secured with a rubber band ) 

How to make sprouts?  

soak seeds overnight -  In the evening pour about 3 tablespoons of sprouting seeds into the bottom of your quart jar. Put the sprouting screen in place and secure it with a string or a rubber band

drain and rinse the seeds -   The next morning dump the water out. Repeat the process of rinsing, swirling, and draining. Once drained very well place in a bowl that will allow the jar to lay upside down at a slight angle. I use a big lunchbox for that.

continue rinsing and draining -  Two to three times per day you will want to pour water through screen, swirl, drain well, and place back in your bowl. Every day your sprouts will grow a bit more until they have filled your entire quart jar and started to turn green. This can take anywhere from 3-5 days.

store sprouts -  When you are satisfied with the length (and greenness) of your sprouts you are ready to store them in the refrigerator. At this point you want your sprouts to be as dry as possible, so make sure you are at the end of a drying cycle. Keeping them dry will stop their growth and slow down spoilage. Sprouts usually keep for up to five days.

EAT TIME -  Sprouts are great on sandwiches, mixed with greens as a salad, or even as a crunchy topping to soup.

What can you eat as sprouts? Almost anything !  Here’s a list of some tasty sprouts:

- leek - beetroot - peas - radish - Basil - red beet - onion - chickpea - Chicory - pumpkin - beans - mung beans - mustard seed - kale and broccoli - kohlrabi - Cabbage - dill and fenugreek - flax and red clover - carrot - chickpea

Why start growing your own food?

- it provides fresh and healthy food

- you know what you eat ( without chemicals ! )

- it helps your budget ( fresh food can be expensive, but you can get seeds for free ! )

- you start to be more independent from our commercial society

- it can help you focus and ease your mind ( it keeps me sane while in quarantine hahah) 

- it boosts your mood and cures depression

- you produce less waste and buy less ( veg scraps go to the ground )

- gardening is awesome !  I started it with planting some sprouts in my last apartment. It took very little space and I had fresh greens on the go !

- it gets you moving !

- you can naturally purify the air in your home

- it improves your immune system and reliefs stress

- you can make money out of it ( even as a beginner )

- it teaches you responsibility, patience and compassion

- it decreases your chance of having osteoporosis ( good workout )

-  It can prevent and control high blood pressure 

- reduces risks of dementia ( between a 36% – 47% lower risk of developing dementia compared to non-gardeners )

- It can provide a source of community connection

- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute recommends gardening or raking leaves for 30-45 minutes as examples of how to hit the recommended amount of daily moderate-level physical activity

Have you heard of the zero-waste movement?

Do you wan’t to learn about some controversial and not so popular truths about it?

check out  Shelbizleee !

She can teach you a lot about zero-waste and how to spend less money on everyday items. She’s one of my favorites cuz she shows that everyone can have a more sustainable life, even a student !

"grief” – 25.02.2020r.

You were fed poison

Since your first breath

And now your entity

Is overflowing

Since your first step

And now your spirit

Is collapsing

Thinking that its blooming

And because you were fed

The banned fruit of risk

The forbidden tongue

And the laws of hostility

And when you see your ideals

In your actions so repeatedly

You’re glad and share your crop with your beloved corpse

Not seeing that you’re the cause of its grief

…
