entry 06 — on love and light
“love and light” is something has been a mantra of mine, a thing i always say to myself and to the world, to end my lengthy heartfelt newsletter, this time i’m using it to begin.
when my schedule doesn’t allow me to chase a creative pursuit, i reckon sunday currently, a writing prompt started by siddathornton will suffice, where on sundays or (to bend the rule) any day of the week i’ll create a low-effort writing prompt to redefine my self-familiarity or share something about my life that’s too short to be a stand-alone newsletter entry.
reading
in all honesty, i haven’t started any book this year (as planned). in my defense, January has been all about job hunting and being a lazy bum on linkedin and job street. right now, i’m currently eyeing any southeast-asian literature authors such as banana yoshimoto and toshikazu kawaguchi’s work but i haven’t downloaded anything yet on epub to actually start reading. i’ll keep tabs.
writing
this post obviously. growing up as a perfectionist and being your own biggest critic, creating has been crucial for the past months, as it always been. i’ve been trying new things lately, including siddathornton’s prompt as i actually needed to learn not to romanticize intellectualizing my emotions all the time and just solely feel them.
listening
to yugto by any names okay and reflections on moonlight and poetry album of the ridleys unskipped.
i recently went to upd fair with my boyfriend and saw any names okay and over october band in flesh. all aboard the nostalgia train since it has been three years the last time we went to up fair before the pandemic. i’m glad to make new memories with the same people.
thinking
about airplanes and how it resembles a lot our loved ones who passed away.
about life and its challenges. it’s funny that life has its own ways to remind us, that the only way to go, is through.
smelling
my cough syrup medicine, guaifenesin and how bad it taste like.
wishing
for a lot of stuff. for starters, a pet kitten, an air fryer, and oil-based perfumes.
hoping
to not missed out on the things that are meant for me. work has been occupying most of my days lately, i’m scared i’m missing out the most important such as checking on my lola and being too tired to videocall with my boyfriend.
to be more forgiving in my profession, as i intend myself to be. forgiving the things i don’t know and forgiving myself in general.
loving
my newly washed thick blankets which smells like downy, finishing 1-2 liters of water a day, cleaning my study desk, my mood tracker, and nakauwi na by bandang shirley.
wanting
things to be better. things have been great on my end and i’m grateful for it. but i do wish things to be a lot better, because i know they can be better.
to see my friends. we haven’t seen each other for months now since we got too caught up in our adulting phase after boards. we still keep in touch though we’re paralyze with our crossing schedules that all we can do is either heart react on each other’s life update post and send cute cat videos. i wish to see them soon.
needing
probably a new set of earphones.
clarity as of the moment. for someone who plans ahead and takes control of her own life, i’m seemingly lost in my own path after achieving something big. i know i’ll figure it out as i go along.
feeling
afloat. i’m getting used in my new work environment. and while uncertainty is looming in my head right now, i’m reminding myself this is something new to me, and i should be forgiving. here’s to hoping and loving and taking it one day at a time.
