Lucy's Side Quest #2: A Room of My Own

For those who don't know this already, I have a private instagram account, and I use it as my space to grow: test ideas, track progress, and perceive myself.

One of the posts I uploaded last semester was made the day after I had the best day of the semester solo tripping down Boston Mass Ave. I bleached my eyebrows with @tumblasha. And then I posted this photo like so.

And then I became more myself.

My changes these last two semesters were substantially guided by the private spaces I own. The instagram account is one, and my room is the other. I can trace my influences for this idea to a book I read during my gap year by Virginia Woolf: "A Room of One's Own."

“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." - Virginia Woolf

But not just fiction, I apply it to creative expression in general. To have a place separate from the perception of others, with distance from those who have this pre-conceived notion of who you are and what you can do, has been so critical for me. To possess, to curate, to arrange, the things around me for just myself, has been a luxury and blessing as well.

I took photos of it to commemorate it. As I leave for an independent living group next year. And to remember how much it has done for me in the past year.

Haha. I'm so glad now that @anas-bizarre-adventure wanted a single instead of rooming with me this year. If I know anything now, it's that Ana knows everything I know but a semester or two ahead of me.

Okay, now to study and pack!

summer 4 am thoughts

why am i still wide awake. luckily i have a friend in amsterdam who can talk to me and is encouraging me to not cut my hair rn and wait for a day but why wait folks?? i want to be BALD again <3 hmm i wonder when were all the times i cut my hair. and i mean CUT --- GONEEE

as a baby out the womb

5th grade

8th grade

10th grade

senior year

wowww its been far too long. hopefully everyones agreeing w me in the polls bc we going bald again.

at 4 am, all i want to do is set goals and reflect on the ones i have. in case ppl dont know, my room at home has a chalkboard wall and one sad day in 2020 at 1 am on a similar day to today minus the terrible air quality (thanks canada) i wrote down everything i wanted to be and do. here's what ive accomplished so far from it:

create beautiful websites

a good cook

have real gold jewelry

go to SF

go to mexico

go on a hike

get my drivers license

run a 5k

donate regularly

be confident

know recursion

be published

divest in unfulfilling relationships

perform on a stage

whats left that i can maybe accomplish this summer?

wellppp i looked and not much LMAO a lot of it r those big emotional "work on urself" type things and idk if im into that. or travel to big places and i have no money and apparently hawaii is cancelled now anyway :p

but i can do this post like @tumblasha inspired and make some goals that are sharable

become a better driver on the highway

ride an amtrak

become less addicted to my phone

talk less

run away more! wouldnt life be so fun if we all just lived more selfishly and wandered the way we were meant to

become untethered!!! (maybe delete everyone's location from my phone ... this would be a big one)

be more sustainable (maybe)

become unrecognizable (up for interpretation)

get good at doing my own pedicures

watch a lot of movies again (comment recommendations)

thats enough goals for now byee

room tour!

just kidding, this is from 2 am when @anas-bizarre-adventure and i finished putting stuff in the pod. shoutout to my two suitcases with broken wheels (europe had such an impact this january), the ikea bags, @tumblasha's crate, my yoga mat, lamp, and skateboard. also my friend jonathan for taking my fridge. i'll see them again but i'll miss that little j-shaped room -- so many memories every time i see the charles and the tree out my window, or put stuff on the speakers (rip), or sit on the beanbag.

onto the next!

adding the beloved hobart “hobie” brown to my list of characters who are not Nice but are Kind

[tumblasha]

i'm 99% certain that one day i'll be an elder and my opinion "vegans that make a big deal abt ppl eating 'pet' animals are annoying bc i have no problem eating Any Animal" will sound a lot like the edgy opinion "i'm not a bigot bc i hate everyone equally" and idk how to feel abt that

[1] if u look up “grateful” or “blessed” on my twt acct you will Find things, esp references to this one mha panel of the main character thinking his life is blessed (he’s surrounded by his friends having dinner) right before they all go into war. the war part is less applicable. (i also journal in my notebook but no one will see that)

[2] been feeling homesick. looking forward to november, going to stay in houston for two weeks LOL

[3] my grandpa (dad’s dad) has been feeling lonely so we wanna say hiii. he deals w lonely-based depression and it’s hitting hard again bc i think my aunt and young cousin moved out :( kinda scared tho bc he and my grandma (dad’s mom) hate hate hate traveling so i forgot if they got their covid vaccines yet (they don’t even like the 3hr car + 2hr plane trip to lima). i’m sure they got at least a first dose, idk abt boosters, but my fam hates masking so i hope they’ll mask up for them :((

i miss perú. especially the food from my dad's hometown, moyobamba. i want to eat the caldo de gallina from the restaurant by the tarapoto airport. i want to travel to the town an hour away from my grandparents' house to eat majás. i want to make juanes with my grandmother. i want to visit my aunts and uncles and eat around lima. i want to go to my mom's hometown, jauja, and eat cuy. i want to go to a random chicken chain restaurant (rocky's? roxy's? they're literally two different chains that are also the same). i want to eat at bembos where they put fries in the burgers. i'll even take going back to houston (where my mom's family is visiting now) and eat at a peruvian restaurant there. it's the first time Ever that i'm comfortable speaking spanish to all my relatives, none of that "i'm so young and they're so old" fear, none of that language insecurity. i want to go see my family :(

tv review: crashing (netflix uk series)

overall rating: ★★★★/5

so a few weeks ago, i was having a solo trip around boston and my uber driver (from chattanooga, tennessee!) told me about how he and his daughter love phoebe waller bridge. naturally i mentioned that i loved her too, and he told me to watch crashing on netflix!!

it was v good. v short and a good sitcom! i laughed at all these funny british (and one french) ppl just figuring life out the best they could

synopsis: some young people (lots of 30 y/os and an older 50-ish y/o man) live *communally* in an abandoned hospital. there's some tensions between a currently-engaged man named anthony and his childhood friend lulu (phoebe <3) who's a very ... strong ... flirter and kinda makes people uncomfortable (in a funny-to-watch way)

v nice and funny and easy to binge-watch but minus one star for this scene where a man spits alc in her mouth and then kisses her (if i had to see it, so do u)
