romance

i went to poppy malik’s opening at CCAS in manuka last night and it was fab. if you didn’t go then you missed out on a one time offer. (although the exhibit is open till 15th) there was an enormous pinata filled with treats and priceless gems, hot chips, nice friends and a selection of fine works to see. i was speaking about the space and works with lisa t and she said it felt so light, like you were floating in the sky, all gold and soft, or something like that.

“to compare is to despair.” when you idealise Romance and all the delicious/delirious sweetness and sourness that is embedded in that idea, it’s not helpful. i guess things are only bad if you think they are bad. a thought is real and will make whatever you are thinking a reality. so don’t think it then. it’s difficult to keep an equilibrium and not get over excited when you feel like you’re really getting somewhere. especially hard to keep calm about it and not to crow about it and try to preach to everyone. i feel down today. i’m keeping my promise of a drawing a day. you know i haven’t really made any drawings this year until now. that’s the sorry state of affairs righthere rightnow
