Month: May 2022

June is usually a very exciting month for me. There’s field trips, both my dad’s and I’s birthdays, and the end of school. Even though I don’t go outside, the weather warms up and it’s sunny. There’s just something really appealing about summertime. You feel happier instead of down, like how winter can get people down. There’s more colours and life and it’s generally a better seasonal feeling.

I’m kind of excited for my birthday because I’m broke and I usually get a lot of money on my birthday. Last year on my birthday, I had a therapist appointment, so it kind of made the day feel a bit more strange, not in a good or bad way, just a weird way. Our class has a pool day the day before my birthday so that’s exciting, even though I hate swimming (because I can’t).

I already bought my dad his birthday present (his birthday comes before mine), so I hope he likes it. We also have a field trip the same day as his birthday. I get to go to the city for school and come home and eat cake. I think it’s going to be fun.

It might sound kind of crazy, but I’m planning to go outside more this summer. I’ve always been a basement-dweller, so it’ll be kind of strange to go outside a lot. My mom bought us canoes, so she’s planning on going out on them a lot. We live next to the river so it won’t be too big a problem hauling theme around unless we want to go to the lake or something.

I’ve been working on a few different things that I’m actually interested in this time, so I’m hoping to get those rolling into something that might be more profitable as a series or something I can post online, or maybe publish properly when I’m older.
I’m also working with a new art style, so I can kind of branch out if I practice more with that. Right now, it’s more pastel-ish colours because I got inspired by an artist I saw on Instagram, but I want to eventually work with more warm colours and maybe some contrast with things later on.

That’s really all for now.

I’ve been doing a lot more writing recently, and I’ve really been enjoying it. I’ve started posted some of it on the internet, too.

It’s kind of nice coming back into writing, especially when you have something good on your mind and you feel really inspired by it. That ended up happening to me and I wrote an entire first chapter of a series about it with 4000+ words. I don’t really know how I did it; it just happened.

I’m planning on adding way more to it and the story, and maybe finally getting back into regular updates. Last time I wrote something that I regularly updated (that also wasn’t for school) was around 2 years ago, so it’ll be nice if I can get back into that habit.

I’ve been listening to some new music recently, too, and by new, I mean that I started listening to some songs that I used to listen to 24/7. My music taste is already all over the place, and I ended up just going through my Spotify and listening to whatever I feel like I want to listen to. I even made a new playlist, which is very unusual for me.

I never make playlists, even for my favourite songs. I think one reason I even made the playlist in the first place was because a song I was listening to reminded me of a character I like. This only happened a few days ago, but it’s still very relevant to me.

School’s been school. Also, me and my friends made plans literally within like 5 minutes to go for a sleepover at one of our houses just because I obtained wasabi and they want to try it. I now have to remember to bring the stuff so that it’s really not pointless. That’s happening this weekend.

I’ve been trying to draw more, because I took a small “hiatus” almost. It really wasn’t a hiatus, more that I was just doing things I didn’t like and I wasn’t really enjoying my art, but I’ve tried to do this thing where I draw what I want, and even if it doesn’t turn out how I want it to, I still keep it and add to it. I feel like it’ll be a good exercise for me.
