commonplace updates + learning again and again that nothing motivates me to focus on studying as taking my time in the morning to slow down and do the things, the superfluous unproductive things, that i find joy in 🌱

i’ve been consuming an increasing amount of tea, wearing cardigans and waking up to the sound of rain, which is to say: i’m experiencing autumn in seville and my heart is full 🌾

sometimes the realization of time passing gets overwhelming; usually in the meditation of a long-held yoga pose, when the nostalgia steadily hits and outside the sun is setting and i want to capture it all (the view, the sound of slow breathing, the longing for familiar touch)

virtual journal, 10/11

studying for my statistics exam & having the usual existential crises, which are very useful for character growth

i don’t know what to make it of all of this desire to be good !

these last two weeks felt like 3 months, so as a treat i bought myself this CHUNKY half-off moleskine notebook + using my jewelry to hold the pages down for the pic 🌷🌜

“seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midsts of hell, are not hell, and make it so they endure, give them space.

— italo calvino, invisible cities

doing things that bring you joy is not a reward for being useful. you must give yourself permission to invest time and energy in passions, even without a clear objective. you deserve it

🎧: big black car by gregory ….., i am simply in love with this song, such wonderful imagery

it’s weird for me to gradually realize my passion in psychology lies mostly in its stem side, while in my mental narrative, i am not fit for it. from my five subjects, two are stats courses and one a psychobiology course, and they bring a mixture of excitement and anxiety in my studying 🌾📖
