In Which July Ends in a bad way, August Begins on road to Recovery

Good morning, friend, dear reader of this post. How are you? I hope you are in good health, you are well, and I want to say to you: Happy August! The month has started under the shadow of a turbulent July, and a turbulent June, and a turbulent May. Not all of those months were bad or to be discarded as a lost trimester, but fact is, for one reason or the other, and in spite of the lovely weather of winter time, it has been a challenging set of moments. College stress, anxiety spikes caused by a number of reasons, such as loneliness and the fear of losing friendships for some question or another. Late July was a bit of a peak of this crisis. And July 31st was my aunt's birthday. I want to see her smile, so I went to her birthday celebration at the restaurant. It was of course nice to see her, and to see my uncle and my aunt married to him, she is such a wonderful lady, and I always assumed her in the family without questioning. My cousins are nice too. At surface, it went fine. But ...

In which we say Hello to July! Meet Mr. Struggleshire

Good morning, dear reader! Welcome to the divagation store! Here we are, in the month of July! Happy July to you, wish you the best! I'm really happy to have you here, as I always am! The rainy days are back, I'm wearing my new sweater, writing this post while watching to Scandal and commiting a fashion crime wearing socks with slippers! Things seem to be going fine today, and I really hope we all may have a nice month, better than June, and better than May! And how are you today? How's your day going so far? Are you commiting any fashion crime as well? Hmm hope not, this world can't take another socks with slippers!


Here's my new sweater btw, I love him so much

But not everything is roses in this vacation heaven, I'm 100% out of ideas for posts today, which is such a bummer! I thought really hard on what to write, and I still wanted to have a post today, cause you know, I love to write and just wanted to wish you a nice new month. Well, so I went to look for anything on my computer folder, and fortunately I found something that I think might be nice! Made this sketch a couple of weeks ago, meet Mr. Struggleshire!


Mr. Struggleshire was born in a rush of energy I had in some late week in June! He's in his mid 30's and he's an architect! His sweater is based on the pattern of Autocad, in one of the choice of colors you can have on the screen! And why is his name Mr. Struggleshire? Well, because architecture can be really hard, and many people tend to overlook it, and sometimes architecture school sounds more of a architorture for me - pun intended! Architects struggle, and Mr. Struggleshire knows that way too well, he drinks tons of coffee, stay way too late at night trying to fit bathrooms and kitchens into place, he cries in pain when his Revit software crashes, and he doesn't like contemporary architecture, so he founds himself lost in the world of Calatravas and Hadids, even though he's not a reactionary... 
Mr. Struggleshire is also a slightly different sketch for me, I tried a new shape for the eyes, and just a different configuration for the face, and also a different way to color him.
And Mr. Struggleshire is what we have for today! I'm really happy to have you here again! I see you next time! Happy July!!!
