Hello! This will be my last post as a 20-something-year-old as tomorrow, I will be entering my 30s, so I thought, “Why not reply to something I wrote to myself 5 years ago?“ And so I’m here, reading and replying to the letter at the same time. ———— Hi, 29-year old Arrianne! I’m 24-year old… Continue reading My Reply to my 24-Year-Old Self as a 29-Year-Old
Just call anytime today, guys. That’s was the last message I sent to the group. It was after a week of trying to plan out a video call with friends – all of who live over a thousand miles away from each other – and deciding what day will work best. It had been over… Continue reading Not Even A Read
I had just come back home with my sisters and friends from a 3-day excursion in Oxford, and this was the first time in my 3.5 years here in the UK that I had to go out to mull over some things because my mood had dropped. Don’t get me wrong; I had a great… Continue reading Mood
What could you do less of? I had been on social media for more than half my life. It started back in 2009 when Facebook started to be more popular among my classmates in high school. I was 13 years old back then, and the only things we could do were posting statuses, poking people,… Continue reading Social Media
Hello. So I haven’t written again for some time, and I thought that it was just because I had too many things to do. Last night, I watched Dodie live in London at The Roundhouse, and I got to listen to many of her popular songs, even ones that she had written when she was… Continue reading I Think I Have Lost My Artistic Side
Written at some point back in April. It started with me going back home to spend vacation with my family. It was to celebrate my mother’s 60th birthday and retirement. I only managed to spend a couple weeks because I encountered a few bumps a week prior. Only 2 weeks and then I had to… Continue reading Midlife Crisis
I came across a YouTube short by someone who says that people are just undisciplined, not tired. I let it play over and over again, trying to understand what this person was trying to say, while I rot in bed absolutely exhausted from the past 2 days that I was working 12-hour shifts. I used… Continue reading Burned Out
Offline, I’m constantly daydreaming. At home doing chores, lying in bed, at work typing out what I’ve done for my clients. It’s not just normal daydreaming like wanting to go to other places, meeting other people or simple things. No. I actually have full-blown stories running through my mind. It is either fantasizing about impossible… Continue reading Maladaptive Daydreaming
Hi! So it’s been almost 7 months since I last updated. Life had been so crazy that I didn’t even have time to create anything… well, I did do a little self-portrait but even with that I got so frustrated that I haphazardly finished it and now there are tears in the edges of the… Continue reading Update
The sun had already set and the energy and excitement in the air had already died down a little. Some of our friends had gone to fetch the others from work. The only ones remaining were us, a few other colleagues, and another person we had just met through an ex-workmate. I was already having… Continue reading Confession
