Wow, it's been quiet here. Did I really just ship a side project and shut off? Yes.
I blame my chronic procrastination and a dump of unforeseeable time consuming life events. 3 months in 2024, and it’s been HECTIC.

I was stressed and occupied in January, with my masters applications taking up the majority of my time and headspace. However tedious the process, I genuinely ended up having a fun time. Nerding out over the electives and course description gave me a lot of unexpected insight into design as a field in general. When I quit my job last year, I really wanted to explore the idea of would I be accepted into an art school or not. Turns out both yes and no I got rejected by my dream school & it sucked but on the flip side, I received acceptances from 2 really great schools. 

Weirdly now that I have recieved my answer to "would I get in or not" , I am questioning wether I should or not. Weird how the human mind works. I am still untangling this so we will see how it goes. 

February brought me back to Delhi after ages.Having always loved the place, coming back seemed a lot like homecoming. I met old friends and new, explored art galleries and ate more than my stomach could handle. All in all, it was a great trip. I found out one of my closest friends is getting married and I can’t handle my excitement already. 

& March went by freaking out about life and slouching on my sofa. Nothing substantial here.

HOW’S IT GOING :

  • Shifted my morning ritual from journaling to doodling. Extra plus for any activity that lets me buy beautiful stationery. 

  • Work has been a mixed bag. Considering how important it is to me, it’s been a major point of contention and discomfort lately.  Lots of big decisions, lots of consequences, lots of anxiety. 

  • Start of the year, like any other, I made content goals. The list is inclusive but not limited to movies to watch and books to read. In my quest to watch 80 new movies, I made a tiny dent of watching 19 till now. My absolute favourite in this year being Dune 2 and Fallen Angels. 

  • I am really proud of myself for exercising consistently.  I have started to enjoy my gruelling gym time. Plus, I have an amazing coach who keeps me on my toes and catches my attempts to cheat in my rep. I am excited to develop better food habits. I have been playing around with new recipes, all idiot proof ofc. I am enjoying the research, which might be an attempt to justify the insane amount of time I spend on my phone.  This new habit, also gave me a reason to shop which if you know me, is something I truly enjoy. 

  • I have been feeling devoid of inspiration and creativity. My job requires me to be quick on my feet and to keep thinking out of the box yet here I am creatively drained. Maybe a vacation is on the cards. Maybe stepping out of my house and meeting friends a bit more might help. Maybe a trip to my parents. Let's see.

Minor wins for a cheerful note 

  1. Started to draw again, had forgotten the physical feel of a wax crayon. 

  2. Writing more for Time Capsule has forced me to read more. 10/10

  3. If I say so myself,  I have nailed my breakfast game. Been making delicious sandwiches each morning. 

  4. Mine and my best friend's dog, both turned 1. 

  5. PROGRESS. FINALLY.
    I made a dent on my portfolio (although, as I type this- I have hit a mental block and not made any progress in the past month and a half)

And these are some things I read which left a mark : 

  1. Be Vanilla : https://stephango.com/vanilla

  2. No artist is pleased : https://www.wearecollins.com/ideas/no-artist-is-pleased/

  3. The gross fluids and clean fluidity of Spirited Away : https://thedissolve.com/features/movie-of-the-week/832-the-gross-fluids-and-clean-fluidity-of-spirited-aw/
