At night on my own

lubing up for a nice night in.

Who says you need someone else to have a good time.

All I need is a bottle of lube and my heated blanket.

Friends that spend too much money

I am cheap, I like to not spend money, and I am a student. But I  also like new things and it is fun to go out to brunch like everyone else. Though constantly buy new things is tiring I find. This blog post is my little rant about friends of mine who spend too much money.

I don’t care what people do with their money, it is their choice.

But what I don’t like is when all our adventures, hangouts and activities are heavily reliant upon buying things and spending money. What ever happened to the picnic? Playing with toys we already have? I feel like something is lost in this heavily consumerist world. Or maybe I am just bad at being a good consumerist? ha!

This weekend I have a game, to spend 3 minutes appreciating an object, any object. I have yet to work out the details but I think it would be fun.

Do you have friends that like to spend? Are you a saver or a spender? What activities do you like to do that doesn’t cost you anything?

tending to the garden

drenched is sweat, rain and dirt I tend to the garden,

in a meditative state, pulling out overgrown weeds,

entangled in trees, shrubs and plants.

Thoughts rush through my mind, and the feeling of purpose,

rushes over with every handful of weeds,

I am in my garden, getting in touch with life.

what I am grateful for today

1. that after two early nights I am feeling more on the level.
2. I am greatful that I understnad the importance of resting
3. That I have some time to myself to do things like weeding and spending time in the garden.
4. That I am able to take some time to watch some cartoons that I have not had the chance to watch.
5. That my room is cleaner than it has been in a long time
6. that there is lots going on in melbourne that I can be a part of
7. That my friend circle is growing and there are more happy people in my life.

what I am grateful for today

1. that I have time to myself
2. that I am making progress with my drawings
3. that I have things to look forward to
4. That I will be part of a market stall this weekend, something I wanted to do.

Words of wisdom

I paint when I’m between jobs. I did an entire gym series for a family gym idk i see unemployment as really tacky holiday… like spending a vacation 3 km away at a Caravan park next a freeway

Pokemon go!

are you hooked on the game? have you heard of it? hate it? or is this news to you?

either way it is happening and it is big, big enough to wake up this sleepy town and have people walking in search of pokemons to collect!

I like it, some same the game is basic, but I like that people go out in small groups with friends, parents with their children. Even in the middle of winter to walk. At this point in time, the fact that more people are outside being social brings a smile to my face and warm happy feelings right in the middle of winter.

what are your thoughts about Pokemon go?

always smiling,

Lily

what I am grateful for today

1. that I was able to apply the skills I had learnt across several months into the one project I had today.
2. to have a better understanding of myself then I did yesterday
3. to have a warm space I can study in this winter
4. to have friends that make the effort to connect with me
5. that I have found things that I love and enjoy.

Hunger pains

Hunger pains, cold again, that sick morning feeling,

Did I leave a piece of me with you, is it growing like a plant seed,

Or was it never planted properly,

I am attracted to a burning flame, better if I don’t get to close,

It wont be only my fingers that feel the hot wax,

Online, all the time, searching for?

I puzzle myself, slow and steady,

Smile as I clean up the mess from the night before,

A comforting feeling, sitting alone,

A happy safe place and a quick fix,

What I don’t want, seems to be a longer list,

No ciggarets or children, please be thin, and friendly to beign,

I don’t care for geeky things,  a photo of you outdoors,

I need a grace period, a time to bleed all these bad presumtions out,

I will find that inner smile, even if it takes a while.
