London Livelihood (the Sequel)
london livelihood (the sequel)
carrying on from my previous post after leicester square we finally got to the most exciting part of the trip, winter wonderland. surprisingly a lot of people were only there for the food, which i was very surprised by, i think the main event is the rides, no? first up was the Eurocoaster, i went with two friends who i'm gonna name Tall and Blue at the time it seemed very scary but it was nothinggggg compared to the other two rides we went on after. it twists and turns and went up and down at the most unexpected moments, i think Tall was also wary of the fact she was sitting inbetween two motion sick people but thank gosh nothing went wrong. all three of us screamed our lungs out and then Tall said the ride wasn't even scary?? i think she screamed the most lolol. next up was my choice, The Boomer, a big 360 swing that also rotates the carriage so you're spinning upside down. this was without a doubt the scariest ride i've ever been on. i mean, go big or go home right?? when we first got strapped in i heavily regretted all my life decisions and chose that specific moment to tell Blue about my fear of height. remembering it gives me goosebumps. after all the mayhem, the ride came to a stop at the top and for a solid 5 minutes we had the best view of not only winter wonderland but the whole of london. i think for a few minutes i loved the height more than anything. we took a small break to cool off because that ride is exhilarating before walking around so Blue could have her pick. That ended up being the Munich Looping. I'm quite sad that I didn't get to keep the mid-ride picture because i managed to keep a straight face the entire time but alas! there is no proof. We explored the rest of the park after that! Took photos and met up with friends where we tried churros and macarons (overrated imo) I slept the entire ride home. I think it's definitely something I'm going to remember for a long time afterwards. The image of london from the top of the Boomer and the chill from the cold is engrained in the forefront of my memory until next time! Amimi

do you heavily relate to darlington’s extreme longing for anything magical and extraordinary or are you normal
Isn’t it funny how humanity seems to have a knack for turning anything into art? Clothes became fashion, buildings became architecture, plants became gardens, the list goes on.
The way humans romaniticize and find beauty in everything is adorable.
Sorry for the wait!
i haven’t posted since new years. god i’ve been away a long time. school has really kept me busy recently. especially since i’ve started my art exam for gcses which has been excruciating due to being behind on coursework but i hope to do well! studyblr posts and such coming soon!
work experience (9-5, feeling alive)
this post has been a bit delayed, i've been so tired i've just been lounging around this past week since its half term holidays (which by the way, we came back from christmas around jan 5? the half term should not be this short). writing this post to get my brain working as i actually put thought into what im doing/writing lolol. so i did my one week of mandatory work experience in a law firm, the initial information sheet i'd been given had described my role more like being a receptionist? i ended up doing all sorts of things though. i imagined the building i was going to work at as being really big and formal but when i went there it turned out to be a medium-sized office with its entrance quite tucked away around the back of a big building. on my first day of work, i ended up wandering around for half an hour being lost and i walked into like 5 different wrong law firms that would tell me the general direction which i would follow and still be lost. that day there ended up not being much for me to do, other than try to read up on basic knowledge. i got walked to the magistrate's court for the last 2 hours of the day and made notes, it didn't seem like much though, mostly because i didn't understand too much of what was going on. my second day was more eventful! my supervisor was on police station duty that day but he didn't get called for any cases. i mainly attended court that day and observed 5 cases which were very cool!! i would love to tell you all about that but because many of them are still ongoing it would interfere with them and so i am sworn to the utmost secrecy. i also got to read real case files and was asked to say what i thought, guilty or not guilty and to argue my side oh! did you know that the magistrates court is open to public? anyone can come and sit in the back as observe as long as it's not a youth case. this post is getting long so head on down to pt 2!!
another important thing to remember is 1) u can pick up any hobby at any point in ur life and get outstandingly good at it & 2) the project u've been working on & aren't pleased w the current outcome so far will not be your last. u will draw/crochet/paint/sculpt/write another piece, and another, and you will have many chances to be fully content w your craft. so you should cherish the joy of making art instead of worrying ab the results & think ab how lovely it is that we're all vessels for artistry and we can share the divine act of creation!!!!!
oversharing online is so important cus like what if someone needed to know that
i think nightmares are talked about way too much, i think the worst kind of torture is those good dreams, about making up with someone, about resolving issues, like its a whole year later and you finally think you moved on but it's the cruelest reminder when you wake up and you realize that it''d never happen and you're left there with a different kind of pain. that empty hole in your chest.
manifesting those maneater vibes for the next school year
