hello, dear diary! i’m glowing from how nice this weekend was. i took it slow and it was exactly what i needed. my three-day weekend was such a gift (literally :3), and i made the most of it. i also had time to dive in photography studies, and it felt like a big step forward.
i learned something new - how to develop my own film photos! it was such a cool experience and made me feel a bit more like a “real” photographer, if that makes sense? learning to work with film is a new world. every step feels so personal. the only thing is… i found out that the process uses gelatin, and that made me pause for now. now i’m stuck between wanting to shoot film and not wanting to use something that goes against my vegan lifestyle...
i thought maybe i’ll do it less often, like only for special projects? or i’ll see if there’s alternative. it’s hard to explain, but film has such a dream quality! i don’t want to give that up, but i guess i need to figure out my own way to do it! so, i’m balancing these new things and maybe that’s just what learning is - finding what fits for you!
i also made myself a cozy little nook in my apartment, full of pillows and blankets, where i can relax and read or brainstorm new. i even caught Finick sleep there! it’s officially our little shared spot now, haha ^^
oh, and i finally did something i was talking about - went to my first yoga class! it was so different from my idea. i thought i’d feel awkward, but it actually felt peaceful. being in a room of people all moving slowly was calming. i’m thinking i might try to go more if i can. it’s amazing how an hour of it made me feel more connected with myself!
have you ever been excited about something, only to find out there’s a catch? what did you do? i’d love to know how others navigate these moments...and have you ever tried yoga? or maybe you have a favorite way to unwind?
leaving here love and light,
until next time, dear diary!
