While in Normandie my partner and I stumbled upon a salon du livre, spending an afternoon browsing through old books with a love one is so comforting 📚❤️

Life is right now. While you’re waiting for your dream job, your future spouse, your goal weight, a new home, a change in appearance. Life is happening while you are working on mastering a skill, being in the unknown, not knowing which way to go, feeling stuck. Most of life happens in the waiting. Not in the achievements or successes which are nothing but milestones. Don’t wish the time you have away waiting for something that lives in the future. Look around. What does today offer that you might not want to miss?

officially finished the spring term :>
I have a little more than a week until summer term starts and I’ll be taking intro to chemistry and continuing my piano lessons. I’ve also been volunteering at a plant nursery over the past month and I might also continue that through the summer :}

Working on my thesis.
14.05.2025 // catching up with readings
love all the reading I've been doing lately. it is also exciting to see my library build up over the years, especially now that I can afford to buy some of the books I have wanted for years. recommendations from friends and acquaintances have also helped me expand my reading choices beyond my usual categories and genres. the tbr list keeps growing and it's a reason to live for.
you don’t need perfect conditions to start. you just need to start. five minutes of focus is better than waiting for motivation to come.

Coffee this morning - reading ‘On writing well’ by William Zinsser.
Watched a webinar on GI pathologies and pulmonary fibrosis.
Did some data/SQL review.

I’ve been working SO HARD and it still feels like it’s not enough. I have a few bigger assignments this week, and then 3 exams next week.
post-morning run breakfast
today: trying to froth milk barista-style without a frother and failing miserably, dinner, mandatory snickers and the bill

Hi... how r u all darlings?
I am not doing so well tbh! my depression coming back with a chokehold on me this time... I am having trouble getting out of bed to say the least... I have been working for this position for a while now and it didn't work out... and everything feels so pointless now... as though it's like I am working but it's not going anywhere... I feel utterly useless and stuck at this moment! today I've no encouraging words to say... I am searching for hope and drive to keep going... maybe this is my factory reset time, and I just need to grit me teeth thru this one!
Sending u lots of hugs and love and comfort! unfortunately, when I am down like this, I tend to spend too much money which doesn't help which in turn makes me feel even worse! Here is hoping for a stronger me with lighter heart tomorrow!

Beautiful spring days... I've spent a lot of time outside this week and this changes everything. Life is so much more beautiful with sunshine, green leaves and movement outside. I'm trying to make things that make me happy and it's working well.
Yesterday, I spent an hour reading and the day before I went on a 5h hike. I bought a pottery wheel and hopefully I'll try it out tonight.
