bee1000 the tourist attractions were super fun, and ever since i was a little kid ive been OBSESSED with outer space and the concept of extraterrestrial life. im not 100% convinced they've made contact before, but in an infinite, constantly expanding universe, there is absolutely no way that no other intelligent life forms exist. maybe in another galaxy, but they've gotta exist. it was fun to see other people's perceptions of life beyond our planet

My trinkets are by far my favorite collection, but I've also been collecting zines and anything I find that's been written in or on by someone else. I love to collect things that are little pieces of other people's lives, no matter how long forgotten they are. It's silly, but it's a nice reminder that we are all existing together. Also, rocks are neat

Lately anxiety is not helping much, and Iām constantly drained due to exams coming up.
I miss my family. I miss myself.
This made me reflect on the fact that Iām still here, and alsoā¦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, letās see what we have here:
ā¢ a fraction of āTHE wallā: from left to right two postcard I bought last summer at the MusĆ©e des Beaux Arts in Bruxelles (āGeorgetteā 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 āBacio Peruginaā 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 biscuitās quote, a post-card from a place in Italy called āSacro Boscoā (Sacred Wood, also know as āParco dei Mostriā = Monsterās Park), itās an old black and white photo of a young boy grazing the sheep š), two more post-its (one from roomies one from my mom). Yes I have a thing for post-itsā¦
ā¢ books I started and I never get the chance to finish because of uni (I really recommend though āWhatever arises love thatā by Matt Kahn aaaand to start educate urself on Palestine (if you havenāt already started you should, itās great) āMornings in Jeninā by Susan Abulhawa)
ā¢ Abat-jour, lamp, whatever you call her, with a ānecklaceā (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.
ā¢ a notebook (I love it, the red one), on top my two pairs of reading glasses.
ā¢ Forest green water bottle (very used, but I love her)
ā¢ A ceramic jewellery holder, which was of my beloved grandmother, with jewels I inherited from her š„ŗ
ā¢ a thing I use to store my bangles and bracelets (my little treasure, theyāre all vintage/inherited)
ā¢ one of my thousands of candles (I donāt know why they ease my anxiety) and mini Corto Maltese (in my opinion a masterpiece in the world of comic-strips) themed matches.

nobody irl has ever understood me the way she does before. i dont have to explain myself to her, but she lets me anyways because it makes me feel better. she has the most wonderful interests and the most vibrant personality, and she likes hearing about my interests, and whenever i talk to her about anything there's such a feeling of understanding. i called her one time in tears over something i struggle with due to autism that was negatively impacting me, and she told me how beautiful it is that my brain works differently and she wouldn't change a thing about me. i kind of downplayed it in my head until she called me crying a few days later over almost the exact same thing, and it really made me think about how if i can feel that for her, she really could feel that for me. i wouldn't change anything about her, and she truly gets me in a way that's so difficult to explain. she just understands me. im seeing her this weekend for an extremely belated valentines day celebration and im very excited :]

ive been struggling on and off lately with depersonalization. i have to remind myself who i am, what i like to do, what my interests are, etc. ive been making kandi for around 7 years, so i found that what helped me most was making a messy single solely out of accent beads that i felt represent parts of myself or things that i like. i hope that anyone else who struggles with this can be inspired to do something similar. make an art piece, a sticker collage, a moodboard, a jewelry piece, anything that represents you. you are your own person, remember that and love yourself for it š
