august
release from summer & back to basics
at the beginning of every month—after I finish planning it out, booking my mandatory self-care appointments and identifying forgotten birthdays—I write down a list of themes. these monthly themes range from manifestations, cravings, or plainly just the vibe I want going for me.
august themes
back 2 basics
summer release
cherry pie
film scores
what’s in my backpack videos
creative play
august for me has always been a month of spiritual rejuvenation, a month of transformation and new beginnings. the farewell, release from summer, the preparation for cooler winds and warmly painted leaves—however, I soon begin a frightening yet exciting chapter known as grad school. so we go back to the basics: preparing for a strict academic schedule, refilling my anxiety meds, regulating my sleep schedule—oh, and watching what’s in my backpack videos on youtube. but amidst the chaos that I need to organize before the fall semester begins, I’m relaxing. soaking in the last rays of the hot summer sun, enjoying homemade cherry pie with vanilla ice cream while listening to the spectacular oppenheimer film score. just taking in sweet august. enjoying these last few weeks as a new space awaits me, filled with fascination, knowledge, and, creative play.
happy august, dear reader.
