been diving into some creative stuff lately. spent the entire afternoon yesterday working on this new painting in my tiny studio corner. it's been a while since i picked up the brushes, but it felt so good to get back into it. the colors are all over the place, but in a good way, if you know what i mean. thinking of adding some gold leaf accents, just to see how it turns out.

today was all about getting my hands dirty in the garden. the tomatoes are finally starting to show, and i couldn't be happier. the smell of fresh soil and the sight of those little green buds poking through the earth is something else. even managed to build a makeshift trellis for the vines. fingers crossed it holds up!

also, took a break from all the hustle and spent some time reading that book everyone's been talking about. you know the one. honestly, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions, and i'm not even halfway through it yet. might just pull an all-nighter to finish it.
