July is fiction. A figment of my imagination.
Raindrops on the window sill. Postponed plans. Choosing to lie down on the cold hard floor instead. Speakers off so I can hear the rain. But then I can also hear my thoughts. Too many thoughts. I turn the speakers back on but lower the volume. Back aching. Moving to the bed.
July is that 3-hour break in between classes where you don’t really know what to do. Or there are many things to do but deciding that this is just not the time to do them. A time in the shadows. A time where existing is a tad bit too much.
Cold air. Soft pillows. Under the blankets. Fidgeting with the loose threads. Scrolling though my phone. Fidgeting, again. Warm. A bit too warm to my liking. Missing my alarm.
July is a series of soft moments and quiet places. Where you learn something by being nothing. Where a day wasted is a day well rested. July left me in a haze.
Not all of it was a waste,
Louise
Read: July. I slept a lot. The sleeping gummies work a little too well on me. Mukha lang akong maraming ginagawa kasi mareklamo akong tao lately HAHAHA but I spent too much time on my bed, on the sofa, in the coffee shops I just sit in for hours in an attempt to be away from the comforts of the house. But then those places, too, become too comfortable. I still feel guilty for months like these. But less.
Shameless self promotion
July is also like this Grandmacore washi tape I released this month. My favorite from the set.

Earth Arcade - Supposed to watch Season 2 but I’ve been replaying Season 1 first as background noise when I do shop stuff. Youngji, ILY!
