I teach pottery and tbh it doesn't pay well. I've noticed that upper middle class people come alot. I wish it were more accessible because it really helps you get out of your head.

Making ceramics or pottery has been so fun. NO screen time! Your fingers are dirty!! The texture is so fun and changes as the clay dries. You get to paint with underglaze and then there is also the weird science of glaze?! so cool. So fun. Then at the end you have something useful. I want new salt and pepper shakers so I’m going to try to make them!!
It can definitely be expensive, but there is air dry clay too. Or, in west Philly there is a studio that has a sliding scale for payment that supports people who might need financial assistance, which I really love to see.

damn i love this sh*t. everyone should do it.
embarrassing reasons i like pottery: my pants look cool covered in clay; beautiful pottery women.
less embarrassing reason i like pottery: the sense of accomplishment that comes from the weekslong process of transforming the clay into an ashtray that you can give to your bud / lover

I've come to accept the fact that we are all living in our own sisyphus world. The concept of time which I cant seem to grasp surrounds me with it's intoxicating pink haze, I wake up and I'm 25 BARELY SURVIVING. But I have experienced depression and trauma and I am sooo tired of revisiting that blackhole. I HAVE TO SHOW UP FOR MYSELF. Executive dysfunction fucks me over while partnering with narcolepsy. But I refuse to succumb to the bittersweet melancholy. I'm holding myself accountable. No excuses. Parents aren't in my life and I'm dirt poor. But I believe in myself. That hope and effort gives me life. I fucking love life and I'm done hiding from it (also done with being a crybaby).

Why dont we put pictures in locket necklaces anymore? People have literally kept strands of hair or blood and anything that reminds them of a loved one around their necks in history. It needs to be a thing again.

I can never hold a grudge or hurt people on purpose. I just don't have that bone in me. I don't get into romantic relationships not because I dont want to, on the contrary sharing the experience of love and being a human sounds wonderful. I pour my heart and soul into my friends which results in me not being friends with just whomever enters my life. I love getting to know people and the little details. Sometimes people mistake this for being naive. No, I just care about the people I love and cherish moments. I'm ride or die type of person. Recently I find myself being like FINE I'LL BE NONCHALANT AND PLAY THE SHALLOW SOCIAL GAME DYNAMICS. fuck it's hard though.
