Every couple of years, it seems I am reminded of my passion for writing… as well as my proficiency in it. And the utility of it. The beauty in the meanings of words, in the histories behind the meanings. I am, intermittently, by the years, reminded of my most explicit form of self-expression, the most ironic: writing in the English language.
Well here I am again, in Brazil, reflecting over how I will approach this next phase of my life. Classic Andrea. The trip has already checked the boxes of frustration towards my mother, endless laughter with my aunt, dreams of marriage and children with a newly developed significant other, an argument with my longest best friend, revealed secrets about my father, a surprise activity by my grandfather. Ideas of my present actions leading to my future goals must follow these other checkboxes accordingly.
I suppose you, my dedicated pollinators, deserve a clear picture of the current epiphany I am attempting to articulate into a strategic plan. As you know, I enjoy traveling, singing, painting & drawing, healthy self-care, my spirit, and my relationships. Thus, I have decided to separate my content creation into those categories, with their respective sigils (they are currently canva designs, please mind the wait for those representative sigils):
Evidently, I have not formalized these decisions. Moreover, each of these possess their own subsections (Travel > Bailey the Bus; Art > Whale/Snake/Skunk; Mango, as my familiar, is an icon for all relationships I possess). However, finally seeing them as a collective, even if merely in their preliminary stage, I feel like I have made progress since last I decided to consolidate my expressions and attempt to “brand” myself. I am also deeply satisfied with ultimately accepting my fixation on the primary colors, though muted. A style guide is underway.
It just occurred to me that one day, I will have all of my sigils tattooed. What a wonderful life I lead. Thank you, Li, for such opportunities that allow me to do so!
Here are the ultimate logos, of course:
Not sure how I will pursue writing as a part of this process. I take so many notes already, now I’m expected to flesh them out, into full sentences?
Thanks for reading,
