I painted this black tulip for International Women’s Day, because the occasion always makes me feel kind of emo. I mean, we are not where we need to be in terms of rights or equality. But hey, at least the tulip turned out really nice!
Also, I was able to have a nice day and turn my mood around. I went to Pilates (which was intense in a good way, and where I managed to get into a strange conversation with the instructor about whether or not she should tell us that we’re gonna get ‘snatched’ – I would prefer her encouraging us to get strong, but hey, maybe I’m too into semantics? I am, after all, a writer…). Then I had a nice dinner and a beautiful long walk with one of my besties and it really did me world of good.
I’m trying to do little things every day to take better care of myself and hopefully make my life better. Hopefully these will all slowly start making a meaningful difference.
