In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era. She brought flowers a...

In Which soon I will be a quarter of a century old

Good morning, dear reader of this post, my friend! I wish you the best, and welcome you to another entry on the divagation store! How are you, today? It is a Tuesday, is it not? I was thinking, is this day underwhelming, the worst of the week? I don’t want to reach this conclusion, though! Each day can be a good day, or a bad day, or an average one. The bias does not help, much. Can’t believe we are already at the end of a month, or at least approaching it. Dang… it’s going fast. And, August will be my 25th birthday. A quarter of a century old I will be. Fun how quickly 2020 and 2021, even if recent, are already moving distant. It goes as a blur for me, truth be told. I still am finding hard to write 2023 where I need to, making the mistake of doing 2022 instead. What are my plans for this dawning horizon? I hope to play some The Sims 4, because one “let’s play” series from a guy is making me giggle so much I want to experiment it myself. Now, I am aware it is a game that creativity goes to die. But… I feel like doing a dollhouse these days. It even makes me think of streaming again, from time to time? I do not know… it always stresses me out, truth be told. What else? I’d really love to draw, maybe. I feel the withdrawal from the medicine caused me to struggle with the desire to do so, and I’ve been out of ideas. And not only that, but I fear what I’ll draw next won’t be suited to my Instagram page for drawings. Such crap, isn’t it? Why would I make a drawing just for posting it? That’s not how it should be? Truth is, I like to share drawings, though, and I don’t feel so good when people say they all look the same. And it hurts more when someone I appreciate says that. I cannot control people, though. I can only love the ones I love, the friends I have.


This picture was taken by one of my friends, he allowed me to use it, which is so kind of him. What a lovely chandelier. I like those. They are graceful.
I wish I wasn’t so fat. I’d require less resting time, more time to play on the computer, and do whatever I want to do. But not something I can do much about, not at the moment. 
What are my plans for blog posts in the next few days? I hope I can write at least two until the 31st of July. Ah, August, my favorite month, save for December. I like the memories of the past birthdays, even if some are very painful. Is this a good point to wrap today’s entry? Perhaps. I think I said what I wanted, at this moment. So, I bid you farewell, but do not distress as I will be back real soon, for more thoughts and ideas and so on! Cheers, my friend!
