Day 5 | 7 things that cross your mind a lot

1. Art

Just as I mentioned in my previous entry, I've been meaning to give Christmas gifts and 2017 giveaways to people who inspired or motivated me to keep making art. However, circumstances prevented me to and the last time I was so ecstatic about painting was when I was still down with the fever. A few days after that, I completely lost my mojo. I'm still waiting for an inspiration to happen so I can get out of this rut.

2. Books

Lately, I've been thinking too much about finishing the book ideas I wrote when I was in college and self-publishing them. I was also trying to get myself to write more on a daily basis, like I used to, which is why I started this blog in the first place. I guess I got that one down. But, I still can't focus on creative writing. I also have a lot of pending books to read and the Harry Potter series I just bought is still unopened. My eyes are just tired so I guess they all have to wait and I might stick to audiobooks or music for now.

3. Friendship and Road trips

Although I made a lot of acquaintances in the past year, I still feel like I need some deep-rooted connection with people who understand me on a different level. It'll be nice to just hop on a car and travel with them. Go to concerts, arcades and take random aesthetic photos.

4. Sea

I've been wanting to swim so badly since Christmas. It's too wintery here that I might freeze and get sick again, but it's just been so long since I last swam that I couldn't really care less.

5. Hair color

I think this is one of the most frequent. I think too much about dyeing my hair because I pass by a hair color shop every day. I still can't decide on which color or design though. But I know when I do, next thing you will see is my pastel-colored short hair.

6. Love

Quick story: I told my mom that this 2018, I feel like I'm finally going to have a boyfriend again. She laughed. And then I said, "Oh, I also said that for 2017." (But I didn't really lol) You go into a relationship when you are ready not when you are lonely, right? I'm kind of in the middle right now, and I guess even when it happens I still might say no. It really depends. Add to that my indecisiveness, but I'm willing and open for anything that comes my way. After all, the world might be ending for all we know.

7. Complete annihilation

There is nothing much I can say about this, except not a day goes by when I don't think about this specific subject. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Although there's nothing more I would love than to write about it, I simply can't. So I'll just have to keep my thoughts to myself.

We are the enemies of our own selves and the mind is a very tricky thing to master. I'll leave this as it is for now. I'm highly distracted and I'm writing this in the middle of something else I'm supposed to be doing. I'd love to write so much more, but I want to keep some room for the rest of the challenge.
