Its been a long time since i saw myself

Lately anxiety is not helping much, and I’m constantly drained due to exams coming up. I miss my family. I miss myself. This made me reflect on the fact that I’m still here, and also…we are such precious creatures. We diminish ourselves, but everything we touch we influence. We are way more powerful than we think we are. Anyway, let’s see what we have here: • a fraction of “THE wall”: from left to right two postcard I bought last summer at the Musée des Beaux Arts in Bruxelles (“Georgette” by Magritte, a pic of Magritte himself, on the bottom a quote I found in a fortune cookie, then a quote I found in a “Bacio Perugina” a chocolate treat that is very well known here in Italy, on top of Magritte two Js as you can see (this is a CRAZY story), then on a post-it a quote of a thing I wrote in a sort of essay, then a poem that my best friend wrote for me, another fortune biscuit’s quote, a post-card from a place in Italy called “Sacro Bosco” (Sacred Wood, also know as “Parco dei Mostri” = Monster’s Park), it’s an old black and white photo of a young boy grazing the sheep 🐑), two more post-its (one from roomies one from my mom). Yes I have a thing for post-its… • books I started and I never get the chance to finish because of uni (I really recommend though “Whatever arises love that” by Matt Kahn aaaand to start educate urself on Palestine (if you haven’t already started you should, it’s great) “Mornings in Jenin” by Susan Abulhawa) • Abat-jour, lamp, whatever you call her, with a “necklace” (bracelet I made with my granny when I was little, my wrist grew so the lamp suits it better as a lovely necklace), on top a sleep mask. • a notebook (I love it, the red one), on top my two pairs of reading glasses. • Forest green water bottle (very used, but I love her) • A ceramic jewellery holder, which was of my beloved grandmother, with jewels I inherited from her 🥺 • a thing I use to store my bangles and bracelets (my little treasure, they’re all vintage/inherited) • one of my thousands of candles (I don’t know why they ease my anxiety) and mini Corto Maltese (in my opinion a masterpiece in the world of comic-strips) themed matches.

Do these count?

I hadn’t thought of these as charms before but I suppose that’s how I treat them?? 1. I collect vintage copies of Jane Eyre, but this is my smallest one and as a result it has gone on every trip with me over the past few years since I bought it. Even if I never open it during the trip, I feel better knowing it’s there if I need it, like a portable safe space (especially if the trip is stressful) 2. The necklace with a magnolia flower supposedly represents creativity, so I wear it almost every day as a reminder of what I want to try bringing to the world or seeing in the world (lil corny but true) 3. One of my best friends gave me the ring for my birthday, not knowing I had planned to buy myself a ring to commemorate finishing my first novel that same month—so now whenever I feel discouraged about my writing or ongoing projects, I wear it to remind me I did The Thing before so I can do it again!!!

my “hide and seek” piece

this photo has been part of my first exhibition that i had last summer and it’s one out of three from the collection, this one specifically is so close to my heart because it represents me growing up
