What have you missed the most over the last 102 days:
I had to do some quick maths to work out how far back 102 days was, think it’s about 3 and a half months btw.
Thinking about this during exam season makes me miss the freedom of doing my own thing. There are so many projects that I have planned but never finished because uni was in the way. I realised I’ve been cooking less (haven’t made croissants in the last 102 days x2 which used to be a monthly ritual/therapy), drawing less, taking less photos, just doing less of the creative things that I love – traded for the efforts of trying to pass my degree, which is super sensible but I still miss it greatly and I’m really hoping I haven’t forgotten how to do these things.
Also, the freedom of doing nothing. You always forget the privilege of summer holidays and how you’ll never have those when you start working. Particularly, I think I miss doing nothing with someone the most in the past 3 months. When you’re doing nothing with that someone, there never seems to be enough time to do nothing with them – it’s like a strange sentimental feeling/slight anxiety that I miss.
