Hmm, the highlight of today was probably this pic earlier! I know I’ve already posted it, but it made me happy! (I was trying to take my first ever selfie with Teddy and it didn’t really work, ahah) :)
What occasions am I always late?Usually I’m on time or about 5/10 minutes early (it all depends on transport, sometimes I’m earlier). So the occasions where I’m late is usually due to transport issues, to be honest! Such as signal failures or a broken down train, etc. The things that are out of your control :)
Let me tell you, that you don't have to fear about that since you're an open-minded, curious and clever human being! ✨ I understand that it doesn't make your doubts go away but I hope someday you believe it yourself!
Ah no, you've no need to worry on that front. Frankly I don't know anybody who can discuss the metaphysical aspects of post-enlightenment aesthetics with such casual enthusiasm. Whenever I mention Caspar people usually respond with "Who, the friendly ghost?". Everyone's a comedian up here..
Ahh much appreciated :) Very true, it’s not exactly a topic that everyone can relate to or has an interest in! Haha, that I can well believe 😂
No need to apologise, ramble away! I asked because I was interested. Were the friends you made who now live in other countries from those countries or did they move for work/life reasons? Hopefully when the whole corona thing is over (approx 20 years 😂) you can visit them!
Haha, thanks!! I appreciate it :) Yeah they’re from those countries, most of my class were international students. Ahah I know, it certainly feels like the “new normal” will last that long! Very true, it’d be lovely to see them at some point in the future! :)
You’ve spoken about how awful school was for you due to bullying, so I wanted to ask how uni life was for you?
You’re very observant! :)It was a bit better, thanks. I wouldn’t have said it was an overly positive experience in regards to social life, but it was certainly a step up from school! I don’t know, it’s weird. I feel like in the arts, everyone is somewhat competitive and sees others as a potential threat in terms of success and moving forward in the industry. With being able to see some people’s motives, it’s hard to feel like you can fully trust anyone or be genuine friends with them. Not all people obviously, but this was my experience, especially during my undergrad degree. It was very “dog eat dog” and unpleasant. I just stopped trying to make friends in the end and kept to myself. I was friendly and such when interacting with people, but aside from that, I just felt different so I embraced it more really. The masters was a bit better, but unfortunately the few people I bonded quite well with live in other countries, the other side of the world. That and a few that live here I thought were good friends, but I don’t know anymore :)Sorry for the ramble!
It has been really strange. I haven’t been able to work since March, and I haven’t had any financial support from work as I haven’t been furloughed, so it’s been a really difficult few months! So it’s been a tad stressful in that sense. Other than that, there haven’t been many significant changes! :)
I think I've been behaving rather well considering I've been deprived of female company since late February. Some guys I know are on the verge of imploding haha
Hahah, you’ve been absolutely fine! :) That honestly doesn’t sound so surprising to hear either, I can well imagine 😂
