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!
Classes start today.
Feeling a bit apprehensive because I decided to take as many classes as possible this semester, and it's going to be tough. But as much as I love studying, and as much as I worry about the future, I really really want to get closer to the finish line.
On top of my classes, I also need to come up with a research question for my master's thesis (hence the book in the picture – hoping for some inspiration). I have a few ideas, but so far, I'm not in love with any of them.
At least the weather's nice! (although we desperately need some rain...)
27.04.2025—can’t believe it’s almost the end of April. this month has been a hot mess, i’ll be happy to see it go. onto better things
moments of a masters degree
I want to get back to posting here
my life has been quite exciting. I’ve had so much progress. and I’ve been in love with life this past year.
my goals until the end of the year are to find my routines especially with food and excercise. I’d love to get back to learning Korean and I’ll be taking some classes which are church related. excited for those :))
there’s just something about printing out articles instead of reading them online…

imagine how i managed to get a tarot client from a spanish lesson? we were asked to introduce ourselves and the teacher asked what I did for a living and I was like "How does one officially say that they read tarot cards for people?" lol
it's very literal, by the way - "Leo las cartas del Tarot"
we had a small talk about our professions and then one of my classmates asked if i had whatsapp or something so she could get a reading! i hope that this inspires you to just "do the thing" because this wouldn't have happened if i didn't bully myself into buying the spanish lessons!
what i did today 📤:
gym session with my sister (1.5hr)
bought new skincare products bc i'm breaking out again
ancestral reading for a new client
spanish revision + input (1hr)
duolingo (15min and 488 day streak)
currently listening 🎧 : las calles de mi ciudad by Bilbao
