after losing my voice for 5 days during my finals weeks, my left ear has been clogged from the inside since last friday and taking its damn time fixing itself.
..at least being sick is tiring so i sleep well. and hey, i guess it's interesting that my left ear has a sort of compressor effect now when i listen to music. i'm just happy i don't have to self-isolate, get my nose swabbed and see nobody like during covid.
i probably won't miss this, but i can say there was some enjoyment to be found in having lost my voice earlier.

this is when you know you’re almost back to being well… it’s the light at the end of the tunnel when what’s trying to get out is the particularly hard-to-expel mucus and snot that’s been backed up and festering in the nooks and crannies of your nasal cavities… i’m almost free!!!

When I‘m really congested and laying down on my side, I like listening to the sounds of the fluids inside my sinus as they move to one side of my head. It makes a crackling noise which is weirdly satisfying.

i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest..
the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks.
last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of.
today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).

i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people

going to the museums in my city, going to events, visiting art schools as a spectator to view their expositions
it gives me this.. je ne sais quoi feeling. like, euphoria and inspiration and hope in a weird combined way. thinking about art, talking about art - and by that i mean anything from jewelry to graphic design, paintings, poetry, (short) film and sculptures. just fills me with purpose unlike anything else.
im watching my sims be succesful artists and im like.. damn i wanna be that.
