Darjeeling - writepril day 6

I've been loving these as a way to keep up not only a writing practice, but a reflective and social practice as well. I like to take this time to think of what to write, or to write what needs to be written, and to reflect on myself and leave comments on my friends' stuff. And by my friends I mean Pookie and Ava (hi guys)

I finished my painting by the way, and now I'm sitting in my studio across from all of my finished works I've made this semester. Six paintings! I'm writing this with a celebratory cup of tea. I have made a very regular habit of drinking a large darjeeling tea with oat milk  almost every time I'm working in the studio. Since I'm done my thesis work now, this is probably my last time doing this. One time my studio-mate and friend, Rachel, caught me returning with my fourth cup that day, and she said, "Is that another tea? Kate, if you died in a video game, your item drop would be tea bags and little pieces of jewelry everywhere." 

I also have a very small collection, only two or three, of those little paper tags that come on the end of the tea bag string. I collect them whenever I remember. This one is going in the collection. 

I'm thinking about these small, self-absorbed sentimentalities. I think about, if I died, would my school acquaintances remember me when they saw those purple Bigelow darjeeling tea bags? Those closest to me probably wouldn't. Anyone that isn't a studio-mate of mine probably wouldn't. My mom probably wouldn't, but maybe Rachel would.

It's strange how multifaceted we are in the sense of these little sentimentalities that make up our perception of each other. I believe that I know my loved ones entirely, but othersstrangers, co-workers, acquaintancesmight know the littlest things about them that I never will. 

I'm kinda hungry. I'm looking forward to going home and reading my book on the train. Also picking up those herbal cigarettes from squeezy.

Ok.. sillygirl out for today ... PEACE LOVE GOD BLESS! Much love... Pro Sillygirl. x

Wow i really luved this entry in fact so nice i had to read it twice. Now i am thinking about the sentimentalities that follow people and remind them of others and how different they are for each person like u said. Relations between people rly get me thinking in general, every relationship between every person is so special and i never even thought about it in the sense of the d word except for the obvious ways that can be assumed. Anyway berry proud of u for finishing the painting and so excited to see all of them. LOVE U SO MANY

so gorgeous baby. loved this entry. i would have never thought about that! i wonder what kinds of things other people associate u with that i would never have! thats so sweet to think about. sometimes i wish i could look at people the way i did upon first meeting them. my first impressions of people tend to always be wrong. or not necessarily wrong but when u view someone in one particular way because of a lack of understanding of their whole self the way u look at them is so different than when u know them. you for example, i thought of u as an extremely confident and extremely silly girl. which u are, but now i think of you as the most delicate flower in a meadow. how neat
