Today has been a really nice day. Phil and I went out on a little date. We started at the comic book store where Phil brought a bunch of his action figures, he has a giant collection of DC action figures, and he traded those in for store credit. It ended up being a lot of store credit and I reaped the benefits lol. I got TWO loungefly purses, one is Bed knobs and Broomsticks and it is really beautiful with embroidered fish. The other was a Nightmare Before Christmas one that I've been looking for for a while! Its Lock, Shock, and Barrel in the claw foot tub! And it glows in the dark! It is so cool! I was never a purse person before but ever since I got my first loungefly I've been loving it. And I still don't like using purses but they are so pretty and the usually have cool little details and I do love Disney movies but I don't consider myself a "Disney Adult". I don't make it my whole personality and I hate going to amusement parks.
I also got a Plankton figurine, two funkos that are presents for my sister, and two graphic novels. Fun Home and Rat Queens. I really want to get back to reading more. I really love to read and I don't do it nearly enough anymore. I used to devour a pile of books over the course of a few days. And yeah I still am reading a little. I'm working through two workbook self help type books right now, but I want to read even more. And I made plans to do tomorrow we are going to the library so I can grab some more books.
We also got boba tea today! I haven't had any in so long and it is soooooo delicious! Oh and I forgot to say yesterday that I got my Tokidoki order and I got so many cool ones this time! I got all the ones I wanted out of the picnic set and ever the chaser! and though I didn't get the black one that I wanted in the neon coral set, the ones I did get were badass.
Let's see what else... I found my flow in this chapter that I'm writing for N For Not Human. and that's always exciting because that means I'll be able to do a super binge of writing and get another 4k day or maybe even more!
I've been working through the tasks in this weeks chapter of the artists way and some of those questions hit hard. Like it wanted you to identify your dreams and do all this thinking about what steps you could take to achieve that goal and in a perfect world where would you be in five years with that goal and what you really want out of it. It was hard to look into it and realize that I have many dreams and I had many dreams since I was a little girl that I never lived out or even pursued. So, I agreed to four of them which one is really two because being an author and a graphic artist is really along the same line and is for the same reason and the same basic path. The other three dreams I'm going to keep for me because they are really special to me but eventually I'll talk about them.
The other one that really hurt was called New Childhood, and it basically was writing the fantasy of what would you be and what would you be doing if you had the perfect parents, the perfect life, etc. As a survivor of childhood abuse in every form from all of the adults in my life, this was hard for me. Very hard. I'm still very angry about the life that I was given. I don't think things are very fair in how everything has played out in life so far but oh well. I just will focus on me and my family and making our lives the best that I can make it.
