Um, just a catalan class project drawing inspired by "L'Alquimista/El Alquimista/The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.

(I swear if I get a 7 I'm sending my catalan teacher here)

sometimes I think how fundamentally different I would be, had I gotten that Shakespeare collection in Belgium when I was fourteen

So, I'm currently reading Symptoms of Being Human by Jeff Garvin and this paragraph stuck with me.

I am pretty sure in being a cis guy but I love trying on dresses and often find myself really liking how I look in them. Theoretically, I know that gender expression ≠ gender identity and dudes can wear dresses too, but just thinking about wearing a dress in public completely stresses me out.

I currently hate about 85% of my wardrobe and am uncomfortable in most of my clothes but can't really pinpoint why.

And now I am starting to question if it is just how I want to express myself or whether it is an identity issue? Or - and I am pretty certain in that - if it's just stupid societal pressure that's making me uncomfortable.

I don't know if this even makes sense, but just wanted to put it out there for now.

My studies have shown that the process of falling into mature love happens in four steps. When you meet a woman, you subconsciously look for cues that she's the kind of person you should be with. That's assumption. If she passes the assumption test, you begin to get to know her to find out if she's appropriate for you. If she is, you're attracted. If, as you get to know her, the attraction is reinforced with joy or pain or both, you'll fall into infatuation. And if you manage to make a connection and attach to each other during infatuation, you'll move into mature, unconditional love.
