hi ren!!! thanks for this <33
looking at art. recently i've been slowly getting back into more traditional artists and uncovered some of my favourites! i think rn, my favourite is olga grigorieva-klimova (ольга григорьева-климова)...
the way she paints water, bodies, it's so enchanting. it's like a dream, like a song of sorts, you can hear the waves, the laughter, you can smell the brine of the sea and feel the sand sticking to your legs. it's lovely. i hope to paint as well as her. and it's crazy because we have similar inspirations!! such as joaquin sorolla :)) maybe i just love the water a lot.
2. good music!! i've been listening to this band called bedrumor who makes alt rock, the kind of stuff i was listening to a while ago. it's nice to shut my brain down and js listen to something dreamy, i think something that defines this moment for a bit. maybe when i get back into the groove of school, it'll start getting more upbeat :D
3. books. aside from needing to read for school (this book is so good) i've been trying to get back into reading. i recently went overseas and bought a book called molloy by samuel beckett, so i'm excited to read it! my friend also got me ulysses by james joyce and the waves by virginia woolf for my birthday last year, which was really neat of her :) i also downloaded the uncensored version of tpodg, as well as bitter lemons of cyprus by lawrence durrell (i've been meaning to read his work for a long time, even if this one has an okay rating). i want to start durrell's the alexandria quartet!! i also need to finish reading a few other books but oh well... i'm very excited to get back into reading :)
4. good weather. not too cold, not too hot, warm, the sun's light filtering through a canopy over hydrated grass, a day in the park reading. that's really nice.
5. my friends. i think all summer i've been drained, and even though starting school has been a little shit, it's been nice to talk to my friends and joke around because we don't really text and stuff. i love my friends. friday afternoon we stayed back and studied together a bit, which was really nice. i want to start doing that more.
this year isnt starting off great but i won't let that dictate my year!!! let's love and hopemaxx. thanks again for this and sorry for this whole yap session haha
