in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this

the first week of my new spread ✅ ft. the sky

Hi everyone!
School is starting in about a week for me, and I am not prepared at all. I’ve been unemployed for about 2 months now despite trying hard to find work. I am still looking, but I’ll never make enough money to pay for the things I need with only a week to go.
The most important thing I need to pay for is rent, which was due on the 1st of this month. If I don’t pay it, I will have nowhere to live once school starts. I don’t want to be homeless, but I can not move in until I’ve paid it. My rent is $660. My move-in date is August 16th, and school starts August 19th. This means I will need to pay my rent by the 19th. Although I also need things like apartment necessities, food, and school supplies, I’m more concerned with actually getting the key to the apartment and having a place to sleep.

Thursday, the 3rd of November
I woke up before my alarm tonight, spending the additional time with my dog thinking about what I liked and didn't like about yesterday's mental health day. Yes, I got some much needed sleep but although I sketched a little, ate healthy and took it slow I was disappointed. Why did I not use that time I took for myself to read, to create, to go for an actual hike? I felt paralysed in my freedom - I spent hours feeding my head with things I don't care about at all. I don't know whether it was out of fatigue, convenience or being overwhelmed by my schedule. Whatever was the root it gave me a glimpse into a time that I never want to experience again. So today I will start small. Putting only three things on my to-do list and doing self care based on necessity, not my planning.
Studying
Mediävistik lecture
Library visit
Read Obasan
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the vastness of things I want to be, do and achieve.
I want to be the girl reading Anna Karenina in a dimly lit cafe and losing herself in poetry and philosophy every night. Yet, I also want to be sharp and analytical and save lives with a scalpel in my hand. I want to travel the world and surprise people with how many languages I can speak - drink wine and watch ballet in France, explore abandoned castles in Scotland, feel the centuries of history in Italy and Greece, learn to surf in Hawaii or Australia. I want to have an attic studio where I can make art and laugh with my lover about the funny-looking portrait as I can never get the face proportions quite right. I want a house away from the city and a horse so that I can roam the fields. But I also want to live right in the middle of the city and admire the skyline and the skyscrapers every night. And the list goes on and on…
They say follow your passion but which one do I follow if there are only 24 hours in a day? I know I won’t be able to do all of the things I dream of but I personally object to having to limit myself.
