The most amazing and regretful moment with the other half of my soul, came

New Year

This year meant so many new things. It began with being in a team where I met everyone but not that well enough to be in a serious team with, and then if I thought that was hard, my first steady job appeared and it meant to be with a whole bunch of new people just with one exception. It meant also new friendships that turned out to be the best ones that I couldn’t possibly imagine from those persons. It mean to be there when my best friend needed me and support her when the things were going hellish. It also meant one first date and a inevitable heartbreak afterwards.

This year also had a bunch of new books that taught me pretty interesting things and others that just let me wondering about the real meaning of everything -damn existentialism- but in the end, good stories recommended by a special someone.

Finally it also meant the beginning of this blog, where I promised myself to stop thinking and start creating, stop worrying about the technique and just start to design whatever came in mind, intended to help me in my career but also help as a good runaway from all the rules and creative blocking. For once and for all start writing, even if it meant just short paragraphs describing my current moods. But start, really start doing it with all the heart, because that’s all it takes.

I won’t be waiting if you don’t call, I won’t be thinking about what we did last time we were together, of course I won’t be the one who texts you first, I won’t even consider to. Of course I lie to myself saying i don’t want us to keep being whatever the fuck we are but, as my face can seem sad in the moments no ones sees and stop to think of you, my mind is telling me to move on at once and get productive in my day. Life won’t stop if my cell doesn’t ring.

Let’s not be a couple:

Love dies in a relationship as time goes by, it tears down the eagerness for each other, it strips naked the mystery when it’s our bodies the ones that are imploring to be uncovered. Let’s just be lust and books, let the passion of our bodies speak a great dialogue between our minds. Let’s not make plans, just live the time that we can be together. 

Let’s not be a couple, let’s be a great story

I’m a hungry designer

And it might not be so good for the desk, but having breakfast in front of the computer like a complete hermit is just an habit that starts to become a way of enjoying some time with the loneliness yet greatness of the online world and have a little introspective while checking the mail. Saturday waffle morning!

It’s been too long since I’m not into a relationship, of any kind, with anyone and I don’t know if it’s like some sort of phase but it’s getting really annoying. It is triggered by a guy who kisses me goodnight and “cares” about me for 4 days and then he’s gone for another year. Seriuosly, I sometimes wish I didn’t care for that kind of stuff but I just realized I’ve been so focused on school lately that when I have some free time I can be aware of how much I’ve hold the thought of going out with anyone and now that I have time I wish I had somebody. I NEED TO FUCK ASAP

Early Bird

Yestarday I was watching a video of how to become an early bird, I thought it was good to try it again since last time I failed after a week. Some of my friends are early birds by nature but when I try to construct that habit I kinda look like I’m cosplaying a bird with a grumpy face.

You can’t have so many minds

It’s the most common problem I struggle with while talking to someone that I’m interested in through social media. Thinking for them and assuming my words will have some meaning that will be misunderstood, and in the meantime I unscramble mine and the other person’s thoughts, when it could be so easy not to think for two.

This is the kind of mind that I like to keep working on: open and with new and shiny ideas.

Netflix it’s damn good but, you can’t compare how it felt to enter Blockbuster.

Surrender

Not long ago I started working as a designer at an agency. It felt really nice at the time because it meant the first steady job that I had in my life: having a schedule, co-workers, a desk where you put souvenirs to make it feel a more home, etc. which was actually an experience I think as a profesional, in whatever area you’re in, have to live to really know how to judge it.

As I started college classes again, I got a little disappointed to see that the actual “real world” doesn’t look a bit of what you think when you’re learning safe and sound Because the less you know the less you’ll be disappointed, but being an ignorante it’s not an alternative so, living part time student, part time jr. designer I started to get frustrated with teachers, classes, the school as a whole, etc. Specially when teachers tell you to “get creative” but it’s their choice to say if your design is good, it’s their style that you have to follow and it get’s really complicated to realized how little minded some might be, specially in this area. So I read, I investigated and based my visual choices in facts and still it wasn’t enough to get approval, just because I was contradicting the professor’s word and said there’s more than one way to approach a design besides his. Ultimately i had to give up because I didn’t wanted to fail, and it felt so unfair to agree to something just because the teacher say so.  

Anyway, at that point i made myself clear that giving up on that fight wasn’t that bad because I at least know that there’s more than what you learn from school and that there’s no wrong answer except it’s given without thinking it by yourself.
