Ho Chi Minh 03.11.22

Lazy day, Market und Abends auf "die" Straße

Nach dem aufstehen war ich einfach nur Faul, ich ging in ein Kaffe und saß da ewig.... Ich konnte mich einfach nicht aufraffen zum Museum zu gehen und dann, war es plötzlich zu spät.😂 Ein wenig lief ich noch durch den Nachtmarkt, ehe ich zurück zum Hostel ging.

Ich wollte früh ins Bett gehen und lag schon im Schlafanzug da, als ich sah dass Maxwell und sein Kumpel (mit denen ich in Hanoi feiern war) in Ho Chi Minh unterwegs sind. Also schreibe ich John und wir verabreden uns in der Party Straße.

Bars und Clubs reihen sich aneinander. Frauen die leicht bekleidet am Eingang stehen tanzen mit angetackertem lächeln und versuchen so Kunden zu werben.

Von allen Seiten werden dir Getränkekarten vor die Nase gehalten und dir das weitergehen erschwert. Lautsprecher die es dir unmöglich machen, den anderen zu verstehen und dazwischen Händler, die dir irgendwas andrehen. Neben den normalen Händlern, reihen sich mehr und mehr Kinder die dir etwas verkaufen oder Feuerschlucken. John will einem Mädchen etwas Geld geben, aber die will dass wir etwas kaufen. 😳 Er versucht es ca. 5 Minuten, doch sie lässt nicht locker. Das Geld will sie jedoch auch nicht nehmen.😳

Die Karaokebar hat leider keinen Platz mehr, also gibt es ein Bier aus dem Shop und einen nächtlichen Spaziergang mit vielen Ratten, die an den kleinen Essensständen an der Straße vorbeirennen.😳

Was für ein verrückter Abend

Husband said I seemed so much happier tonight after DnD. It was tiring but I'm glad I forced myself out. Just need to wrap up warmer as our Playing area is really cold in winter... Minor damage to new coat, button missing, going to have to make my peace with that. It's still a nice coat. I do usually struggle 'taking care of my things' and I recall the rages my parents went into when I lost or damaged a belonging... it does trigger me a bit as an adult to feel I'm making those sane (small and very human) errors like accidentally tearing off a button. I have such strong memories of crying hard and feeling like I don't deserve nice things. As an adult I'm embracing the clumsiness rather than denying or self hating and making my own life easier where I can. Still suspect dyspraxia but never did get my college to diagnose me.

For this exercise, I had to use continuous lines with two mediums to create drawings of 3 of my objects. I found this exercise a lot of fun as it was a challenge to remember to not lift my pencil or crayon from the page and instead keep my lines continuous.

Overall I am pleased with how this exercise turned out, I think the created images are interesting and fun to look at due to the nature of the lines.

Minęło 490 dni odkąd Cie widziałam i czułam ostatni raz.

Wciąż za Tobą tęsknie

So about my goddess tattoo, yesterday I had a quick meditation before bed to see if I could indeed get Her tattoo in my wrist, and the reply was ‘My marker’ meaning ‘symbol’ and it was the Egyptian Scarab and at first I thought ‘thanks but no thanks…’ because that’s a bit too much. This isn’t my religion, I’m just following the one goddess. But this morning I drew it on my wrist and… it fits really well? The wings of the scarab end up pin point against the two beauty marks I have there. It’s wild. I feel a bit like an imposter, and to try to lessen that blow I made the wings colors the color of the flag from my home country. It feels weird, like I want it but I feel like a fake if I get it but I’ve had this connection since I was six but does that make it worth the it?? I’m not even sure how I knew about Bast when I was six. Where did that knowledge come from. Why did that thought come to mind and just stay there. Whack.

Lol. I literally waited two days to post my last two posts just because I wanted a screenshot from Minecraft but I didn’t want to open up my gaming laptop. Also! Okay just got done with a meeting with my other ex-co worker and it was lovely~!! I missed some waking with her so much. I’m glad I decided to reach out to them!

So excited for my first tattoo today ´͈ ᵕ `͈ ♡ I might ask her to do my other one too… It would be convenient. And you know what? I washed my hair yesterday and I’ve decided to retire it. It’s been two months and I have so much growth and it’s driving me crazy. Also…my sibling still wants to do escape room and it falls right on my library volunteer time (≖͞_≖̥) I’m gonna have to go early to still volunteer…

And Ohmygosh!!!! I got a shoutout at work today!!!! I did not expect that and was very happy for it~ Funnily enough, the guys from Meta cake called me back about the job and I had to turn them down even though they offered me more money ヽ(‘ー`)ノ I better get a pay raise with each contract renewal with my company got dang.

Ohmygod I’m about to go get my first tattoo (and it might rain) I’m so nervous (*≧▽≦) Me whenever I see my tattoo: It's too small, no way. 'Compares it to where I want it' Oh its perfect!! I told my father I was going to Barnes and Noble as a cover up so now I guess I gotta~

DnD went well! I love how detailed people get, and I have a new business partner for my bakery~

I just keep looking at my ankle in awe. It’s on my skin. It’s places there and it’s part of me now. I’m just. So in awe of it. My symbol is right there. And it’s so detailed so perfect. I’m just ₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎♡ And some people take tattoos for granted. Can you believe? My parents will freak when they see it but I’m so glad for it. And I actually love the raised skin. I kind of wish it would stay like that so I could run my fingers over the pattern and feel it there.
