Inhale. Exhale. @mysignsarestillvital - Tumblr Blog

Lately I can’t stop reading, thinking, obsessing, about love. As a theoretical exercise: what is this thing which has no intention, no obvious purpose, no end towards which a process inevitably, predictably unfolds? A feeling which, like all aesthetic experience, is not general – it is particular to each instance, originating out of a singular sensational body, evoking a response which betrays pleasure and displeasure, desire, want, colour. What is the house that love built made of, made for? I don’t think I make sense about half of the time in my writing but I can’t stop circling back to this idea at the moment, maybe there’s something in it that I haven’t yet connected up in my mind

03.03.21 | The pictures make it seem like I had coffee a lot last week when I’m actually trying to limit my caffeine intake. I even stopped drinking it for the better part of the past two months for health reasons, which was really hard since I’m used to having a cup everyday. It was especially weird studying without its warm presence. I’m slowly letting myself drink it again but only on days that are solely dedicated to relaxing & no more than three cups a week, & it’s felt a bit like a treat.

Hmm, what happened last week? I’ve set up a new study space in the living room (top right image) because I was beginning to feel the gloom settle in my bedroom, & it’s been nice! The only downside is that there’s a little too much background noise for my preference & it just so happens that our neighbours are currently getting renovations done. But my focus & productivity hasn’t been affected too badly.

Last week I had meaningful conversations with two of my closest friends, which made me realize how terribly I miss them. I’m so comfortable with solitude & I get lost very easily in schoolwork that I tend to overlook socialization of any kind. Without my friends to virtually (& physically, once upon a time) remind me to hangout & just talk, many weeks can go by without it ever crossing my mind.
