Good Morning

hot tea & giant lemon/poppy seed biscuits just because I've been craving sweets a lot lately.
At least they're sugar-free!

Experimenting with new things in life. 


So I've been struggling a lot lately to do things I enjoy like this space where I've been sharing my photos. I don't know if this happens a lot with you too, but sometimes it's hard to find motivation and to stop thinking about talent and skills and just go for it. Negative thoughts are always a big part of the process of creating something from scratch, I guess. But when we're talking about Art, I believe it gets harder. Usually what starts with me wondering if something it's good enough or not, ends (most of the times) with thoughts about talent vs hard work ("I'm a hard worker, but I'm never going to be talented...", "I'm just not a natural at this...",...) , how my art is boring and uninspired as hell, if I should be creating things in the first place, etc. And from there it's so easy to start thinking about self worth and so on. 
A few days ago I was organising photos and I found these: The last time I decided to stop thinking  excessively about something and just try something new. I've never had thai food before and I must say I pretty much loved it. It's absolutely delicious. Being brave paid off this time. Maybe it will pay off the next. Or maybe it won't, but I want the possibility of, at least, try to find that out. 


amazing thai food, here.

Work (vistis). 

We are visiting the places we've been working on again. Aren't these two absolutely beautiful?

To read more and photography are on the list, 

Good Morning.

I've been trying to write more productive to-do lists and wishing it will make my mornings more productive too. So far it hasn't been working like I wanted it to, but I guess that's the problem with expectations... and lists. They never seem to end.

Iced Tea (here), sun, old books, sun and beautiful architecture. This is my idea of a well spent saturday afternoon.

Best pancakes in town, here . (and i'm an addicted, so i think i'm more than qualified to declare this)

last pictures from the days off (promise) 

 not me! -(girl above)-, but I felt really great just by looking at her. I wish I could be this confortable in my own skin in public. I was looking at her and thinking how I also wish I could be the same: just taking my shoes off, put my hair in a bun, enjoy the sun, the ocean and a new place with a map on my hands . I felt really liberated and I wasn't the one facing the ocean barefeet. I was the strange looking girl with dark circles under my eyes , really pale skin and bad hair day This graffited lighthouse also made me smile that day. "Atlantik (atlantic, sorry I really can't fight the urge not to correct misspelled words) birthday nights"- I don't know, but this sounded like fun. I ended up picturing the whole night in my head.

a little time off from the days off...
in love with this shirt with little stars.
