you can do this. stop sabotaging yourself and your dreams. there will be risks, there will be stress, but go on and actually pursue what you want to do. you will not regret having tried, all things considered. self-doubt can destroy so much of your life. don’t let it, please.
I’m pretty sure this was my prof. 😂
Friendly Reminder that both Bucky Barnes and Tony Stark are victims.
green tea: well thought-out skincare routine, early mornings, self-care books, the sound of rain hitting your balcony window, blunt to a fault, taking frequent trips to the small cabin your grandparents used to live in located in the heart of a forest, hand-made flower meanings journal, the scent of sandalwood, mismatched socks, low-key superiority complex.
earl grey tea: london architecture, wet pavements glinting in the golden afternoon sun, old books, wearing your hair up in a bun, the scent of milk, dainty wrists, avoiding your problems, cardigans, vintage hand watches, local bands playing covers at the underground bar of your apartment building, unnecessary snark, the red string of fate.
ginger tea: thin, gold chokers, cat lover, artsy bullet journals, not knowing how to say ‘no’, mom jeans or no jeans, lightning scented candles at evening, hole-in-the-wall libraries and cafés, playing the guitar, younger siblings, tight-knit and supportive family, contagious laughter, having photoshoots with your friends in old alleys, spicy food, taking things too personally.
hibiscus tea: red converse, long summer days, 80s music blasting from a travel van, matching friendship bracelets, the sound of the ocean at dawn, lolipops, throwing darts at a map, easily riled-up, rose-tinted glasses, sticking your tongue out at strangers in the car, the scent of citrus trees, the italian riviera.
chamomile tea: platonic soulmates, having deep conversations with your grandparents, coloured crayons, liberal arts, keeping quiet despite having a lot to say, tired eyes, warm hands, a bit sad inside, playing the ukulele, big extended family, feeling homesick after one night away from your loved ones.
Types of people
Canvas - always sick, carries around a lot of stuff, jazz music in the background, curly hair, earth tones, statues, eye bags, running to class because you woke up late, rarely shaving, wanting a pet, bar stools instead of chairs, smiling at strangers
Seed - long fingernails, v neck shirts, wearing multiple necklaces, speaking to yourself in different languages, forgetting your lunch at home, decorated sneakers, arguing with siblings, getting scared by the microwave noise, reading without music playing
Pulp - purple pens, singing the wrong lyrics, broken zippers, reckless decisions at 3am, waking up at dawn and playing on your phone, hoodies over jackets, learning a new instrument, headaches in the evening, taking pictures of fireworks that you’ll never look at again
Font - writing long ranty letters, sleeping in public spaces, messy eyeglass lenses, light blue sweatshirts, poor posture, taking off uncomfy shoes after a long day, talking to yourself in the shower, dnd sessions, jingling bells on keychains, the smell of sunscreen
Lantern - hesitant arm touches, sleeping with multiple blankets, awkward conversations with strangers, faking confidence, ice cream during the winter, brightly coloured rain boots, cracked seashells, saving ticket stubs, random freckles, forgetting to drink water, enamel pins
Bristle - short eyelashes, delaying responsibilities, peach tea, humming while you walk, hair covering face, drawing on school desks, stickers everywhere, black headphones, streetlights on the walk home, lying in the grass, jackets in the summertime
Lemon - playing your music out loud in public, wrinkled dress clothes, speaking up, warm summer nights, never wearing makeup, slow runner, heather grey t-shirts, dozens of open tabs, a friend’s selfie as your background, making too much coffee
Same problem, different approach 📝
grey- earbuds in, doesn’t talk, disappearing randomly, always busy, tired face, hard outside soft inside.
yellow- bright eyes, cheerful grin, quick winks, tattered converse, warm heart, city parks, close friends.
blue- denim jackets, patterned socks, messy hair, knowing looks, full coffee mug, roaming the sidewalks.
red- angry glare, strong feelings, ripped jeans, combat boots, leather jackets, bruised knuckles, record stores.
brown- deep eyes, full of stories, old soul, sipping tea, soft skin, vintage clothes, thrift shops, flannel shirts.
green- smoothies, splattered jeans, paintbrush in hand, art museums, road trips, pressed flowers.
Artemis: the aunt who gives crisp, short and sweet advice to the couple and keeps her visits short; she is hardly seen at weddings since she avoids all kinds of love and romance but will make the trip if someone close to her is getting married; she is a sucker for outdoor weddings and blesses those couples who remember to not litter after the wedding is over.
Athena: she is often seen along with Artemis and is known to give away valuable advice to the newly weds for a long and happy married life; she is also the person who approves of the wedding beforehand and helps the newly weds in making all the arrangement before the ceremony begins; as the bride leaves to walk down the aisle, Athena whispers soothing words to calm the bride down.
Aphrodite: she is that lady who’s always shipping people at the weddings and is eagerly waiting for upcoming couples to seek her blessings and gives them tips on loving her to the fullest; she loves the fancy weddings and is aunt who often cries because of how beautiful the couple is; she often says ‘I told you so’ when the two people who she ships are together in the end; all the bachelors try to impress her and she laughs it off.
Hestia: the aunt who’s always looking younger than she actually is; she is always forgotten at the weddings until one of the parents of the couple reels her in and she politely says hello and wishes the couple good luck; she rarely dances and if she does, she just twirls and bows down politely.
Dionysus: the uncle who comes to the party for the drinks; he ends up embarrassing the couple in his drunk state by telling stupid things that they did when they were little; somebody has to drag him home when the wedding’s over and he always asks the person if it’s their wedding; the first person to dunk the couple’s heads in the cake; fun to talk to when he’s revealing everything; often criticises the wine that the couple has chosen for the guests to drink at the wedding.
Apollo: the uncle who never leaves the music area; he’s often singing for the couple instead of the raising a toast and always chooses a romantic, hit song for their first dance; sometimes he sobs at how beautifully he has sung the song and the guests are already drowning in their tears; Artemis often has to pull him away before the people kill themselves over his voice; blesses the couple with warm, cozy sun rays; crashes weddings with Hermes; women drool over him and he flirts them, leading them on, not before Hermes has to pull him away.
Hermes: makes it a point to have a grand entrance; walks arm-in-arm with Apollo and dances his way to the couple; has an aura of light headedness and is always keeping the atmosphere light by cracking decent jokes; helps the couple design the invitation cards; winks and makes inside jokes with the newly weds; usually drags away Dionysus and curses when he throws up in Apollo’s car since the three of them travel back in his Maserati; steals something or the other and takes it with him as a memoir of the couple’s wedding; crashes weddings with Apollo.
Hades: is seen complaining and grumbling at weddings since Persephone forced him to come along; blesses the couple first so that he can go home early; doesn’t touch flowers cause they decay when he touches them and then they wilt and die and Persephone starts weeping; always wears a black tuxedo and brings along his phone and headphones so that he can listen to music while the others dance; twirls Persephone around for the sake of it and hugs her awkwardly when the couple kisses because he needs love but will not admit it.
Hepahestus: usually sits with Hestia at the back and will exchange views on fire and furnace and metals and crafts if they have nothing to do; Artemis and Athena sit with them, drinking cold water or carbonated drinks if absolutely necessary; the shy guy and the silent one too; manages to clean up for the wedding though and rarely smiles when he takes a picture with the newly weds; gifts them amazing things though.
Ares: pounds the table when the couple kisses and exchange vows; the most enthusiastic person and the most hot tempered one too at the wedding; takes his girlfriend Aphrodite for a dance and dances quite elegantly to everyone’s surprise; gives the couple tips on how to wrestle and kill each other if they ever fight; hugs the hell out of the two and Apollo, Dionysus and Hermes.

“Are you alright?”
“Yes, of course. Like I said; I didn’t know him very well.”
I read on an aesthetic post once, "it's pursuing science but desiring art"
I’m required to keep a journal for my honors class. It’s a nice little break from my engineering studies to do a little art.
