Cheeks the baboon

my most meaningful possession i own is definitely my stuffed animal Cheeks (you’ve met him!). he’s not a trinket per say but he’s definitely the most meaningful! first thing i grab if there’s ever a fire truly. he’s just so important to me and has always been there for me emotionally since day one. here’s a picture of him with my grandma from this past winter! also i have a habit of going about life as if toy story is non-fiction so he is fully sentient to me as well as all my other stuffed animals ,, on the subject of trinkets though i am very much a collector. when i’m out with my family my dad always says “you can get that on amazon” but that defeats the whole purpose! i very much tie memories to little souvenirs and find significance in them which always brings me joy. i’m very easily distracted so when i get bummed out in any way, having trinkets around always without fail will lift my spirits.

Its been a long time since i saw myself

Lately anxiety is not helping much, and I’m constantly drained due to exams coming up. I miss my family. I miss myself. This made me reflect on the fact that I’m still here, and also…we are such precious creatures. We diminish ourselves, but everything we touch we influence. We are way more powerful than we think we are. Anyway, let’s see what we have here: • a fraction of “THE wall”: from left to right two postcard I bought last summer at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Bruxelles (“Georgette” by Magritte, a pic of Magritte himself, on the bottom a quote I found in a fortune cookie, then a quote I found in a “Bacio Perugina” a chocolate treat that is very well known here in Italy, on top of Magritte two Js as you can see (this is a CRAZY story), then on a post-it a quote of a thing I wrote in a sort of essay, then a poem that my best friend wrote for me, another fortune biscuit’s quote, a post-card from a place in Italy called “Sacro Bosco” (Sacred Wood, also know as “Parco dei Mostri” = Monster’s Park), it’s an old black and white photo of a young boy grazing the sheep 🐑), two more post-its (one from roomies one from my mom). Yes I have a thing for post-its… • books I started and I never get the chance to finish because of uni (I really recommend though “Whatever arises love that” by Matt Kahn aaaand to start educate urself on Palestine (if you haven’t already started you should, it’s great) “Mornings in Jenin” by Susan Abulhawa) • Abat-jour, lamp, whatever you call her, with a “necklace” (bracelet I made with my granny when I was little, my wrist grew so the lamp suits it better as a lovely necklace), on top a sleep mask. • a notebook (I love it, the red one), on top my two pairs of reading glasses. • Forest green water bottle (very used, but I love her) • A ceramic jewellery holder, which was of my beloved grandmother, with jewels I inherited from her 🥺 • a thing I use to store my bangles and bracelets (my little treasure, they’re all vintage/inherited) • one of my thousands of candles (I don’t know why they ease my anxiety) and mini Corto Maltese (in my opinion a masterpiece in the world of comic-strips) themed matches.

i Find extreme joy in learning about the simple and mundane of other people’s life

everything I’ve seen here so far feels honest(?) I just love it when people feel safe enough to be random and weird 😮‍💨

Keeping loved ones in the loop matters

It’s so easy to get caught up in our own worlds…I know I tend to keep everything I’m working on/ dealing with to myself, but sharing what I’m up to with the people I love is more often than not, the missing piece to my puzzle. From encouragement to fresh perspectives and even accountability, I can get so much value out of those casual conversations with my people :)
