Observations and ramblings
Starting today I have decided to begin to work on project pan! Yesterday I sorted out all of my products into four categories and realized that I have no need to buy anything new if I have all I need at home. I want to work on my spending because I looking back I noticed that most of these products were bought last year and this year.
As a note for myself I jotted down how many of each product I have for each category. Hopefully I can compare this list to next year and see how much progress I have made!
Make Up: 14 eye shadow palettes and single shadows, 1 lip palette, 1 setting spray, 4 powders, 3 blush, 3 foundation, 2 concealer, 5 primer, 1 highlighter, 1 contour, 2 lip gloss, 8 lipstick, 6 lip tint, 2 lip pencil, 3 eyebrow pencil, 9 eyeliners, 3 mascara, 1 eye concealer pen, 2 foundation samples. 72 total products.
Skincare: 10 sunscreen, 2 facial mist, 1 base, 3 essence, 10 creams, 3 sleeping packs, 1 eye mask, 3 lip mask, 4 lip balm, 2 lip oil, 4 face masks, 3 face pad samples., 2 sunscreen samples, 4 serum samples, 4 misc samples. 56 total.
Bodycare: 9 lotion, 1 body mist, 1 body butter, 11 body oils. 22 total.
Perfume : 1 Michael Kors, 1 misc, 1 Gucci, 17 Sorce, 7 Snif, 10 Penhaligon, 5 Vivienne Westwood, 20 Imaginary Authors, 7 Zomething Strange, 15 Regime des Fleurs, 10 Liis, 22 Alkemia. 116 total.
Most eye opening was how I have nearly 100 for three of the categories and how many perfume samples I have. The only category that is not listed is hygiene products because I think I have a normal amount of toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, face cleanser, and makeup cleanser. It was also surprising to find out how much excess I have of one product. Overall, I am glad I was able to fit each category onto one table surface. Let us see how I do in 2026! Wish me luck future me~

The official teaser trailer for Fionna and Cake Season 2 just dropped and I AM SO EXCITED!!! Oct 23rd cannot arrive any faster. Adventure Time became such a safe space for me and it is also what helped me finish my BA and I still bawl every time I hear Time Adventure.
As a post grad, I related so much to Fionna in Season 1 and Simons story with Betty was so bittersweet and meaningful to watch. I understood Fionna and Simons feelings about not belonging in their world. Especially the juxtaposition about Fionna feeling like she is meant for so much more while Simon feels like he is not enough anymore after being freed from the Ice Kings madness.
Season 1 was so cool and enjoyable to watch. They really made Fionna and Cake their own unique show with the same magic and adventure felt from Adventure Time. I am so excited to see where the show will pick up in the new season and how the story will continue with the whole multiverse and cosmic beings that rule their worlds.
Ever since I graduated I always felt like I was running out of time. My peers seem to have their whole lives figured out while I have no idea what I am doing with mine. They have their careers in order, know how to drive, and are even pursuing higher education. I am happy for them and I am glad to have friends that inspire me to succeed together. However I feel like an imposter. I feel like I am moving so slow while everyone is moving lightyears ahead of me. My dad wants me to earn enough so that I can buy a house and become a homeowner. Honestly, I am not sure when that will happen.
But a part of me knows what I should be doing. It is screaming, telling me that I can do it. I just need to put in the effort. To make art. To express myself. To share my work and somehow connect with others in the process. I know deep down that is what I really want. I am just scared. But I know I should do it despite being scared because that is what it means to have courage. I need to be brave. And so I will be!

I have this bad habit of starting things but never finishing them. My longest streaks always go by threes. Whether it is three weeks or three months, I never seem to see things all the way through and honestly I'm getting tired of myself for being this way. I really want to make a change this time and I want to start that with my blog.
I would go through my journal. I've been writing in the same one for the past five-six years now and every year, I never fail to mention I want to write, to draw, to do all of these creative projects. And then I revert back to trying to follow a plan B when I have never followed my plan A. So that's what I want to do going forward. Follow my plan A and see it through. No more hiding!
