These days I am: · Drawing, drawing, drawing. · Working on my daily diaries: https://www.ericafustero.com/project/daily-drawings · Looking for client work. · Selecting photographs for a zine. 。・✦.∙◦*˚◦.✧。.。・✦.∙◦*˚◦.✧。. 28/04/24 It would be nice to stop feeling guilty for e v e r y t h i n g I do. I guess my daily entries are just as moody and gloomy as my weekly entries because I'm not feeling so cheerful these days. Highlight of the week: reading on the seafront. 26/04/24 This: https://twitter.com/xhfloz/status/1783646148466536727 25/04/24 Two days in a row sleeping 9 hours: Success. I guess it's time to start using the alarm clock again. 22/04/24 Finally managed to make a selection of photos from the last few weeks in Berlin that I am happy with. I also printed some, which I'm picking up this week. It's been too long since I've seen my photographs in paper and I'm excited. https://www.ericafustero.com/project/berlin-spring-2024 16/04/24 Wondering which thoughts are chemically induced and which are my own. 15/04/24 I don't think these weekly entries are working. I come here on Sunday all moody and gloomy and make it feel like my week was the worst (which is not always the case). The fact that I usually feel down on Sundays is not fair for the rest of the week. 。・✦.∙◦*˚◦.✧。.。・✦.∙◦*˚◦.✧。. Week 15, 2024 · I spend the week anticipating next week, which means I didn't enjoy myself so much. · I didn't want to leave but here I am, back home, tired, sad, alone and surrounded by dirty laundry. Week 14, 2024 · I took too many photos and although I deleted many, I captured some I really like. · Trying to befriend a crow. · Cherry blossoms and allergies. · Every day I ask myself: Is this going anywhere? I am doing it right? Week 13, 2024 · I'm responsible for feeding two wood pigeons (now named Hilda and Franz). · I spend half of my days feeling like I'm not doing enough but on Thursday I manage to finish what I intended to do for the week and my mood improves. · Do you have a favorite cafe in Berlin? I need more places with good coffee where I don't feel like I have to leave the moment I finish my slightly overpriced drink. · I finish a new sketchbook. / I start a new sketchbook. · On Sunday I walk, take pictures and smell not roses, but some other flowers. Unfortunately I don't eat ice cream because there is a long line, but I will take revenge. Week 12, 2024 · I remember that listening to music usually feels good, so I do that. · I don't have the same luck with reading and watching movies. Maybe next week. · I really enjoy drawing on paper but scanning and cleaning the originals, not so much. · Traveling planning takes most of my mental energy. · Writing these words from Berlin. It's cold, windy and rainy but I missed being here. Week 11, 2024 · Felt bad about all sorts of things I said / didn't say, did / didn't do. · Felt good being aware that some of the things I felt bad about are just in my head. Then felt bad about that. · Failed to make any substantial progress on any of my on-going projects. · Made some poor eating choices. · Being surrounded by people with whom I share some of the same silly worries makes me feel less sad, but it makes me sad that they are also going through this. · Saturday became National Coffee Shop Tour day. · Where did my week go? Week 10, 2024 · Felt anxious about anxiety. · Paid money to be told things I know I should do but fail to put into practice. · Made a new friend :) · Work-wise it was a fairly productive week. · I read a lot and watched a few movies, most of which I liked. · Saturday started quite explosively. · Sunday ended up hurting, but in a good way.
