Flock of birds tattoo on shoulder

Tattoo… me

Tonight I’m going to the ballet with Su, and I’m really excited about it! We are going to see La Sylphide, a very old ballet set in Scotland. I had never heard about this ballet, but one of my colleagues had free tickets and she couldn’t attend, so I took them instead. Let’s see, I might write about it on Friday if I think it’s worth a post… Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the ballet is awesome, but since I won’t be able to take notes, I might not remember enough details to write about it; that, and I also know nothing about ballet! I saw they were asking about tattoos in today’s prompt on The Daily Post, Tattoo….You?, and asking what our tattoo means if we have one (and what we would get tattooed if we don’t have one). I don’t know how much I’ve talked about my tattoos (or showed you!), but since it’s a topic I really like, I thought I would write about it. Did you know I have five …

Behind the scenes, where ideas come to life

The place where we think, where we write, whether it’s a short Facebook post, or a long dissertation for uni, is a reflection of who we are. Whether we write with pen and paper (maybe a fountain pen?), or in the newest, trendiest laptop in the market; we give our workspaces that bit of our personality. A few weeks ago, I bumped into WeWork, a co-working company that has office spaces for rent, and was prompted to write about my own workspace. I’ve been going on about it in my head because on one hand, I wasn’t sure I wanted to talk about it, as it might be over sharing a bit, since I write mostly in my room; while on the other, I thought it could be a cool way of sharing more about myself. After some consideration I thought why not? I’ve already mentioned my flat isn’t the biggest of them all. I used to live in a bigger flat (and that had a great kitchen), but I moved out for a more …

Momentum

For the first time in ages, I don’t feel like writing here. The thought is slightly worrying: this is what I do, I write on my blog. Of course, I do other things too, but yeah, you know what I mean. So when I sat in front of my computer to start writing, nothing. It’s not as if I don’t have a topic to write about, I actually have a few in mind, but I just don’t feel like writing about any of them. I started writing a massively long post about letting go, but in the end I thought “meh” and stopped. This is my 92nd post in this blog, and I guess it might be one of those mid-life crisis situations. Is it worth it? Do people actually care? If I write down things that I never publish, wouldn’t it be more worth it to just keep a notebook around? I know of a couple of people that care, but I have daily conversations with them everyday anyway, so they’ve already heard about …
