Mush

I have this notebook. It's purple and just a plain old 1 subject notebook with the metal spirals on it, and I write everything I can think of in it. I write a lot of poems for fun that I'll never show anybody but myself, and it's all in that notebook, along with little passages to books I've written for fun, and quotes, and song lyrics. Sometimes I even print out little posts from other peoples blogs that I think are incredible and tape them onto the pages, and they don't even know it. Someone's gonna find it, they will, and that's okay with me. In fact, I want somebody to find it, to read it all, and most important, to understand every little secret I'm keeping. I've been writing and drawing in that notebook all day. Today is just one of those days where it's been pouring since last night off and on and all there is to do is sit around in your pajamas and spend the whole day writing and drinking cup after cup of tea, and then at night watch a movie with salted Jiffy Pop on the couch. So that's what I've been doing, and loving every moment, pushing that nagging voice saying stop being lazy and get up and do something useful to the side for awhile to just enjoy myself. It's that kind of day where it's okay to eat a spoonfull of sugary frosting all to yourself, or look at pictures on weheartit.com all day till your brain turns to mush. So be it.

I love mental health days. And frosting's good, too.

  1. I'm having a day just like this! It's good to be lazy every once in a while. I also have a spiral notebook that I write ideas for my stories in when I don't have my laptop with me. It comes in handy! I wish I could be the one to find that purple notebook of yours, it sounds lovely.

  2. This was so beautiful, and oh-so relatable to me. I have a purple notebook too where I write anything in there. Maybe one day we'll find each others =) I hope so. Lots of love, and frosting =) <3

  3. Oh! I'm a little bit like you! I have a note book like that! Well... two actually. They're both the same colour one was from a long time ago and the other is more current. Its a little confusing when I can't find either :P
    Sounds like a GREAT day! I love those days! So much!

  5. I've got a notebook like that too! Though my brother's read some of the stuff written inside, but it's not like they're secrets or anything. And lazy days are always necessary to have, so enjoy yours!

  6. I have a notebook that I keep everything in too. I like to do little sketches and write cool quotes and notes of encouragement in it.

    P.S. Hot chips are the same as french fries... I assume you know what they are..

  7. Thanks for the nice comment :) Pukkelpop is a big festival in Belgium, so I'm really excited!

    The background is from 'Elegia's blog garden' and I did the letters with tinypic.com and then a lot of editing with photoshop + trying things with htmlcodes. Besides the background I kind of designed it myself :)

  8. Mmm, I love mental health days too, but yours sound so much yummier than mine :)

  9. P.S. In regards to a previous comment of yours (I forgot to get back to you). My favourite medium to paint in is oil paint. I know the quick drying of acrylics can be an advantage I take it as a disadvantage. I can't stand paint drying on my palette while I'm still painting.

  10. Mental health days are the best, when everything moves so slowly in the best way possible :)
