Drinking Coconut Water and snacking on a stolen seaweed cracker from my roommate, I decided to create a blog called the Wannabi Yogi. I'm spelling it Wannabi instead of Wannabe cause Wannbe was already taken as a domain name. So there. Justified.
I always get a bit sentimental when I'm alone and night and reflect on my life and what I've done so far. It's dangerous territory. I fall fast when I'm alone for too long. Anyways. Enough of that. I've created this blog because I want somewhere where I can just write anything, post anything, share anything. Mostly about my love for Yoga, Meditation, Raw Vegan goodies, and my love of Lettering. I'll probably post most of the art I create here at RISD. Yeah I'm studying Graphic Design at the Rhode Island School of Design - and I must say that getting here is probably the best thing I've ever done for myself.
Its only 11:30pm but I'm so exhausted. I can barely keep my eyes open but there's so many things I want to say - or rather write. But it's all a mix up of feelings and emotions and dreams that I doubt any of it will be coherent at all. Perhaps I'll just list them.
1. I'm so unbelievably excited to start my raw vegan bakery with my friend Delaney during the Wintersession. All I do these days is stalk raw vegan blogs and salivate. And when I say that I salivate that's no exaggeration. I actually feel an increase in the level of saliva in my mouth. I'm obsessed. I feel like my love of food is finally going in the right direction!
2. There's so much work that still needs to be done. I'm trying not to be overwhelmed. But sometimes its good to just make time for myself and NOT do work - and instead do something like this. Write. For me writing has always been my greatest, healthiest outlet. Without writing I end up splurging to my friends and it's always very unsatisfying. So I'm going to return to writing. I wish that I could keep a handwritten diary with pretty pictures and worn pages that I can hold and carry and feel proud of, but alas, I'm too impatient for my own good and I can't write fast enough and just end up feeling frustrated. Typing is much better. Typing can keep up with my thoughts.
3. Asides from work and the raw vegan bakery which btw, is going to be called Rawhibition = Raw + Prohibition, I'm really trying to get into lettering and I want to do it freelance. Which means that I need to make time for me to start coming up with some designs and refining them so that I can make a portfolio which I can then use to show people what I'm capable of and start doing some actual work! I think this will be a project I should carry into the winter session when I'll have more time to actually put them into action. During winter break I'll come up with these refined designs.
4. I've realized that in Uni, you really are, at the end of the day, very alone. Although I have friends I can talk to, there's still a barrier that keeps me from pouring my soul out to them in a way that I could do with my friends back at home and in Dubai. I dont know what it is. A part of me feels like they wouldn't care. Or aren't that interested. Granted, they are mostly guys... that may have something to do with it.
5. I wish I could do more yoga than I do currently. I really feel like Yoga could balance out my life so well. If only I could bring myself to do it more often.
6. I'm sick and tired of obsessing with my weight.
I'm done.
