The Starchild Diaries

Consistently changing since 1991

So I recently got this hair...doughnut...bun maker thing because I like wearing my hair up but messy buns make me feel...well, messy. So I got this thing and I love it and I got all excited because I put my hair up while it was still just on the dry side of damp in the morning and when I took it out at night, I had all these super cute curls in my pony tail!!

And I know, this is kind of silly to post about, but I've been feeling like a thumb lately - hence all the filtered pics lol - and this made me feel happy so 😝

I'm trying to get better at drawing - specifically chibi characters because I have decided that my manager needs her own comic strip. I'm compiling a list of things she says because literally, the woman is a meme machine; pure comedy gold and she doesn't even realize it.

Firstly, I need to describe her - 26 years old, average height, blonde, total sweetheart, completely genuine, VERY enthusiastic - hands down the best boss I've ever had.

Now the setting...sea of cubicles... monotonous grey as far as the eye can see and in one corner is my team with Kelsy* as our fearless leader.

She's always trying to pump us up and help us stay positive because customer service over the phone is...trying. Anyway, without giving much context yet, here are things that Kelsy has said, some of which are repeated regularly.

Mama needs some snacks!!

Ughhh I want some popcorn 😫

YAY TEAM!! *proceeds to clap until everyone joins in*

*after eating something garlicky* - no vampire is gonna get me!!

*when her team gets the whole floor to clap and cheer at her doing something like going to the water cooler* - omg SToooop you guys are so EMBARASSING!!

These are just a couple I could think of off the top of my head, but trust me I will be posting again

So, I work in an office that at times is very much like a playground. The other day I was walking down the aisle to my desk and a guy just jumps in front of me with a plastic lightsaber like he is gonna fight me lol

So without missing a step I just waved my hand at him like the classic "these are not the droids you're looking for" and he stepped aside with this stunned look on his face and his friend just lost it, almost fell out of his chair 😂

I really think I am an asshole. Really and truly just the worst. It has been a bad day and I'm done participating.

This is about where I'm at with my breakup

This piece is...well, it expresses how I'm feeling right now without words.

This morning as I lay in bed, I am reflecting on the dreams I had last night. I remember running across snow and ice, I remember telling someone that I didn't have a home, I remember dreaming that I had lost some of my teeth. The main dream I remember though was riding on the back of a great blue whale in the middle of a pitch black sea. The only real light came from the moon, and he was taking me further and further away from land. However, I wasn't afraid because the whale was my friend and I knew he would take care of me.

I am always fascinated with dreams, and the symbology and the psychology of them. I recently took up painting again and decided that I want to paint the things I dream about. This one is of a dream I had a long time ago but it has stuck with me so I tried to bring it to life on a canvas.

I'm not a very good artist, but I like doing it :)

In this dream I was walking long a pier by the ocean at night and there was a raging storm - thunder, lightning, rain, and wind whipping around me. Then I realized that there were huge waves coming at me and there would be no way to avoid them, so I simply spread my arms and accepted my fate.

I dream about water and storms quite a lot and have written many down so I can remember them and one day I will paint them all.

Grieving a breakup is very similar to grieving a death. What you thought your life was going to be is now different because someone is no longer a part of your life. Good or bad, you need to grieve what you had but will no longer have moving forward.

So, I recently broke up with my boyfriend of two years. I won't get into details, but long story short, we loved each other but we simply weren't happy, and I think we have both come to realize we are better as friends. It's all still very raw and emotional, I think we are sad that we couldn't be the ones to make each other happy.

He is such an amazing person who I am so lucky to have in my life, regardless of circumstances. I will always be on his team, as I know he will always be on mine.

Creating a space for yourself is such a good feeling. Like, decorating and surrounding yourself with things that make you happy, and when you're done you just look around and smile because "yeah, I did this" :)

My name is Oriona, I just recently turned 28, and in the last 2 years a lot of stuff has happened and I don't want to get into it all right now but I figure I'll write about things here and there, and hopefully someone else enjoys reading it, but if not then this is just helpful for me to sort myself out.

[books-n-quotes]

“It’s storming tonight, you loved storms. The way the thunder drowned out your thoughts, the way the rain sounded like gentle fingers tapping away. 
I loved storms because the lightning would flash through the windows and illuminate your face. I would imagine that the angels were taking pictures for the heavens right before me.”

— Anthony Flores, She Was Meant For The Heavens

Reminds me of a certain time and a certain place... I'd like to do it again some day :)

[thestarchilddiaries]

Despite all the hurt and pain my heart has been through, I still want to believe that there’s something good out there for me.
