the jazz band i saw tonight ! so so lovely had the most wonderful time out with my friend even though he’s british. the band clapped for US when we came back in after having a smoke! (coz we danced rlly hard and they liked us- it was mutual) and we went to a weird chinese place after that was built like a rudimentary minecraft house in an alley. saw my ex too and felt nothing (other than surprise) which i’m glad for. my friend and i are going to make this bar a more regular thing :)
This was November 2019...and this is a collection of a small portion of the photos we took that day. I was going to post all of the photos I’ve taken that never made it to this blog from all of the years in the past. However, in looking through them this past year, I realized why I’ve always put off doing that....for all these years.
I post these photos to look back on them and read what I thought and how I felt at the time [as I did here] but doing that takes work. I often battle with myself on what I should share online, and how I go about sharing it. Journaling is important to me. I want a record of everything I do and everything I capture, but when encapsulating and curating that, I end up draining myself so much to the point where I either don’t do it AT ALL or I stop midway through because I’m simply doing TOO MUCH.
Beginning in 2023, I am downsizing EVERYTHING that I do online. I am going full MINIMALIST. I am not doing vlogs unless they are to educate, inform or entertain. I am not trying to journal anymore. It has become literal WORK...and it backs up onto itself. I have lists and lists of things to do everywhere. It’s exhausting. I’ve said this before in the past, but I’m for real for real now. I don’t have the patience to go through ALL of my photos and ALL of my videos. I need to learn to LET GO. Perfection isn’t real. I will never reach it. I am only doing 5 and under. Less is MORE. Less work for me will give me more energy to actually put out quality. I will drain whatever I have left for the year then it’s all minimal content. Ya girl is TIYAD! (’tired’ in patois)
