Diary: 30/11/2025

Honestly, I've wanted to do something like this for ages, but never really bothered till now. Also, oh my god I'm actually using correct grammar for once!? I don't know, I usually don't, but I'm just in the mood right now. I feel like it fits the vibe!

I'm not fully sure how often I'll actually end up doing this, but for now I'm aiming for daily — that's almost definitely going to change because I cannot commit to anything — but we'll see. 

I haven't really gotten up to all that much today, but I only have, like, 15 school days left which is lowkey exciting! Unfortunately, I have to take the bus back home 4x this week. Honestly, I don't have a problem with the bus — it's not ideal but it's fine — my problems more so the walk back from the bus stop. I live rural so I have to walk along the road to get home, so there's like, a chance I could totally get flattened by a car. I'm too cool for that though, I'll just tough it out. Plus, my art folders huge, so it gets picked up by the wind and makes me feel like I'm gonna take off!

Speaking of my art, I was developing some of my work in my sketchbook today. Miss told me to look at Picasso's blue period, which I hope to get round to at some point. 

I also gave some offerings to Aphrodite today. I haven't really worked with her up till now, but seeming as it's my first time I kind of went all out for her. I gave her:

• A bouquet of dried roses that I had been drying recently. 
• A sea salt, lavender, and rose petal blend, put into a seashell. 
• Dried rose petals, placed incide a sea shell. 
• Rose quartz 
• Patchouli incense (the only incense I had to hand). 

Ideally, I'd rather have used resin incense, as that would be more traditional and 'pure', but I don't currently have any or a receptacle to burn it in, so that's kind of off the table at the moment. I want to pour libations to her both morning and night, as I think that was mentioned in 'Works and days' by Hesiod if I'm remembering correctly. I also think I read somewhere that she likes milk and honey, so that would also be something I could consider. 

I did quite an insightful tarot reading today, specifically in what my strengths and weaknesses are, with some follow up questions. Essentially, I need to spend more time with loved ones (which is definitely true) and need to push myself out of my comfort zone. My reading was along the lines of saying I'm quite in tune with myself emotionally, but I struggle when things around me aren't going the way I want, and either ignore the problem or shut down — both of which I find to be quite accurate. I don't read tarot very often, but I feel whenever I do it's usually relatively accurate.

I had more to say than I thought, and could probably go on, but I have school tomorrow so I don't want to stay up too late. Hopefully I remember to do another entry tomorrow! :)

(Also all the correct grammar is likely not here to stay. I haven't proof read any of this so I doubt the grammar's overly correct anyways)
