This is our month mark of the current season of introspection with get messy. I've had a pretty hectic time in normal life recently so sitting down and creating (rather than doing DIY, travelling or working) has been a real respite for my brain.
Future Me
- collage, ink & pen
I have never been one for having a 5 or 10 year plan, I think that life changes constantly and it's always better to just go with things. One of my least favourite questions as a child was "what do you want to be when you grow up?" because I didn't want to think about being an adult (still true) - I wasn't done being a child! So the face that I have a life that I really love is always a lovely surprise and comfort to me.
I'm just a girl

Venting here about the limitations life has when you are female. I have always been hyper aware of the how being female has influenced my life, probably because I have an older brother so the differences were very obvious and I have feminist parents so it was never a subject not to discuss, more a subject to embrace and be aware of. It is something that still makes me very angry, the injustice that is completely un warranted just for being a she and not a he.
Silence
- collage, felt tips & spray paint
The first thing I thought this morning, the bliss of silence. I had a migraine at the beginning of this week and post-migraine my brain treasures silence that little bit more.

I've always *hated* the question "What do you to be?" or "what do you do?".
ReplyDeleteI love these pages though. ;)
Soul sister!
DeleteI too hated that question, and now my kids are being asked it and I can see the torment in their eyes when they are asked - my 19 year old son in particular. I don't want them to grow up anyway!
ReplyDeleteHaha, we never grow up really ;)
DeleteFuture you is beautiful. I am always amazed at how ingrained the female experience is and how difficult it is to explain to even the most open minded men.
ReplyDeleteThank you - exactly!
DeleteLove this Julia! You have inspired me in a season that isn't so inspiring for me :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the biggest compliment miss Pearl <3
