Hello.
So almost a year since we last spoke.
Hope you’ve been keeping well.
I’ll do a quick update - things never progresses with L, therapy ended and I miss it, dated a bit over summer which ended badly, my best friend moved to london, I got made redundant.
I think that is all the major points in the last year.
I have some really exciting news, I’ve finally started pottery classes. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for years, and being made redundant was the final push I needed to do it.
I joined a studio in Deptford on their beginners course, with the plan of progressing onto the intermediate and then advanced classes later this year.
So far I have a pretty cool bowl thrown and trimmed, next week we’re throwing with 1-1.5kg of clay - I cannot WAIT.
My mental health has been up and down, I seem to still go through phases of everything being pretty good and quiet. But I always come back around to some low points.
I put dating on pause from summer till now - I’ve been talking to someone this last week and a bit, we hungout a lot over the weekend, they write music and are in a folk duo playing guitar and singing. We just spent so much time talking about music and guitar, playing together etc. A really calm time.
At our first date, I’d spoken about how hard I find it singing and playing guitar at the same time. That night I went home feeling inspired by their words of wisdom and put some lyrics and music together. It felt so good! Very excited to try and evolve this into an actual skill.
Overall a pretty positive mindset lately, feeling human.
Bye for now.
