𝐈 𝐀𝐦 𝐋𝐚𝐳𝐲.

I don't ever want to go to work, and I don't care if you think I'm lazy.

I've always been a storyteller. When I was a kid, people would beg me to stay on the phone so I could continue weaving "that one story" for them — one of my unfinished tapestries they still couldn't look away from. They'd never seen anything so well-tailored to their tastes.

Everyone at the office is too distracted to listen. I... am too distracted to think. Even at home, the gas meter tears my focus.

Don't tell me it could be worse. I didn't beg to be born so I could be grateful for being alive.

I'm losing grip over my health, working all the way to an early grave so that shareholders get to be travelers. Shareholders polish their artistry, not with calloused hands like mine — but wrinkle-less from stolen time. Their accolades, awards, praise, idolatry... endless as their treasure (that we had mined).

We can not pursue our joys and comforts without questioning the profitability of that labor too. If it's even worth exhausting the little time we still have.

Dog days of summer: heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, bad luck

Dog days of autumn: cool, naps, treats, the best

Face # 1: Lethargy at the museum

This year (2024) I’ll be trying to draw faces, all year long. By the end of the year, I’d like to be able to capture some truly emotive expressions on faces. I was never good at drawing any portion of the human physique, but some practice will get me closer. Sorry if these start off rough or scratchy, this is merely my first try. Just trying to improve my line work and technique in regard to sketching.

I’ve never been good with names, but faces I remember upon the first time seeing one. I was at The Mint Museum in Charlotte recently. I was alone, checking out art and this group of four girls in their mid-twenties walked into a sculpture room where I was browsing a few pieces. Among these girls was a hipster looking chick. Spikey hair, feminine in kind of a punk way, had big eyes and very plain attire. What separated her from her friends was that… she looked so utterly bored to be at the museum. She was just kind of listlessly walking around, looking kind of sad or detached, taking pictures with her cell phone instead of absorbing or contemplating the beauty of the art on display. After she came near me a few times, I started to memorize her face and the way she looked as she lethargically sauntered around the hall. I kept thinking that I wanted to capture the disconnected look on her face, so I drew it! More to come.

Man why am I feeling down it's almost like I'm not eating well, not sleeping well, screen time over the roof, rarely moving, isolating and being short and rude when socializing I mean any guesses?? Let me know

White Noise

I've been cooped up in my corner of the room this break, with an initial intention of getting work done. Making more art, getting more work done, getting better at what i do and so on.

As days passed, all i was left with was a lethargy, a yearning, and many yearnings. I yearn for home and my mother's hug, and chattering away for hours to her, lying down on the red oxide floor- ever so cool, no matter what the weather. I yearn for a love where i do not have to teach someone. How to love: a manual to tending a heart. I yearn for a love so gentle and kind, like and more than the platonic ones i get, but i need the taste which makes it different from saheliyon ki pyaar aur karuna.

My body aches everywhere, and no matter how much i sleep or stay awake I am still tired. And they say i need fresh air for i am rotting away within walls, but my body aches, my legs ache. The thought of getting out and walking makes me even more tired.

The constant buzz in my head has died down. It's been a week and i notice once in a while that everything feels quieter, my surroundings and my head. Every time i notice that i argue with myself - should i conduct a funeral for them? Afterall they were with me for quite a while now, even though i remember absolutely nothing. All i remember is the whizzing and buzzing and constant jitteriness.

I do not like the weather here. I should have just gone home. I cant wait for two more months. I should have just gone home. A familiar but frustrating nausea creeps all over me some days, but i am mostly too spaced out to even react. I wish it was January again and it was slightly cold and i could sleep all day.

My face looks gaunt and i feel more hopeless everyday- i wish someone spelt out for me about what hope i am losing. I am drained of many things and I am still picking at the scabs of old wounds of the heart. I wish it just disappeared in front of my eyes, than to watch it heal.

I want to sleep and wake up and feel alright again. I wish this constant discomfort just leaves me. But is not everything alright already? i dislike this constant dilemma and moral conflict. Let me feel whatever i feel, I'm pleading to myself.

All i hear is the white noise of the ceiling fans in a dark room with nothing but the light of a screen, lulling me into a trance like slumber from which i will not wake up rested. All i hear is the white noise of the ceiling fans in a dark room and i yearn for my own room back home 2000 kilometres away and the comfort of my friends' arms.

May a bard rise to compose an eulogy For a dragon that used up all its energy To protect the princess in lethargy.

To be a carcass

I can’t care about getting ahead in the world because I know that I am going to die.

How does anyone care at all with that knowledge weighing on them?

One night, the idea that nothing matters must have snuck into my ear while I was asleep and fused with my bones,

becoming an extra layer of my anatomy.

It's so deeply engraved in me now that it's indistinguishable from the marrow and muscle that keep me upright.

I constantly hear people saying they wish they cared less about everything because it’s 'freeing.'

This isn't freeing; this isn't freedom.

To be a carcass is to watch your friends grow up and around you— interested enough to observe them,

but detached enough not to do anything about it.

I've been chronically tired for years.

Nap for a few hours > wake up still exhausted and going to sleep early

Falling asleep before 830 pm sometimes.

Feeling like I'm missing out on social events and interactions due to how tired I am.

I can't fight it. I physically have to sleep.

Yes my medications have contributed to this but it's also been years of this.

It's gotten to a point I almost just want to stop taking my meds so I can stop missing out on life and be more awake. Any input is welcome

So Lunar ate a whole entire apple that's the same size as him, Sun can eat a lot of chocolate and not have any drawbacks, and Moon can eat a whole jar of olives!? What is the fairy's limit for food consumption!? How can they feed so much food in their small bodies!?

They can all eat quite a bit! The food they eat turns into energy for their magic. But too much means it can't be converted fast enough, which causes them to become lethargic.
