Each day, we wake slightly altered, and the person we were yesterday is dead. So why, one could say, be afraid of death, when death comes all the time?

The strangest book on earth
In the late 70s italian architect, illustrator and industrial designer Luigi Serafini made a book, an encyclopedia of unknown, parallel world. It’s about 360-380 pages. It is written in an unknown language, using an unknown alphabet.
It took him 30 month to complete that masterpiece that many might call “the strangest book on earth”. Sodex seraphinianus is divided to 11 chapters and two parts - first one is about nature and the second one is about people. (Source)

1. You are not bad. You haven’t done anything wrong. You are lovable. You are worthy of being who you are.
2. You are not bad because you couldn’t fix someone.
3. You are not selfish when you think of yourself or act on your own behalf. You have a right to your own voice, your own body, your own things, to know what you think and want, and to speak up and ask for it.
4. You don’t have power over, control over, or responsibility for other people’s lives.
5. When you make the well being of others your responsibility, when you try to change how they feel, no matter how positive your intention, it’s invasive and cripples them. You undermine those you try to fix as well as yourself.
6. You should not abandon yourself when you most need your own support.
7. You don’t have to depend on others or wait for them so that you can live my own life.

Number five is particularly important.
(Source: wnq-writers.com, via wordsnquotes)
Five things it took me far too long to realise:
1) Mental illness is not a choice.
2) Medication exists to help you and you are not weak for choosing to accept help.
3) People will meander in and out of your life, but your mind is permanent and here to stay. So make sure it’s a reasonably nice place to be.
4) Just because they are your friend/family does not mean what they tell you is true or correct.
5) Turns out, you might not be the problem after all. If a flower doesn’t grow, you change the environment it grows in, not the flower itself.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

1. Always have a water bottle in your car
2. Carry an extra lighter (even if you don’t smoke)
3. Get something new where you go to eat often, not just your usual.
4. Make a budget for yourself
5. But don’t forget to give yourself some play money and always round up on how much things cost so you have money left over
6. If you’re texting someone, but nervous to send it, just click the fucking send button. You typed that shit out for a reason.
7. Stay out late, but wake up early. You’ll be glad you had all of your day.
8. If something makes you laugh until your sides hurt, write it down in the notes in your phone, you’ll want to remember that later.
9. When you’re talking to someone, and you suddenly think of something you want to say, put up a finger and wait for them to finish talking. It’ll help you remember what you wanted to say, but you won’t interrupt them.
10. Go to plenty of concerts. Especially outdoor ones. Get drunk with your friends, but not sloppy drunk. Just drunk enough to scream your favorite songs and dance without feeling embarrassed.
12. Always keep a change of clothes in your car. Including a pair of shoes. You never know.
13. Keep at least $20 cash on you at all times. Gas is usually cheaper when you pay with cash, and not everywhere you go to eat splits checks.
14. It’s okay to be sad, but try not to forget about what makes you happy.
15. Coupons are always fantastic.
16. If you think something is cute, fucking wear it. Don’t worry about what everyone else thinks. You’ll look great, I promise.
17. Sex stores are fun, even if you just want a good laugh.
18. Plan out your days off with your friends, that way you aren’t stuck around asking the “I don’t know what do you wanna do”
19. Don’t forget to remind your friends how much they mean to you.
20. If someone gives you a compliment, smile and say thank you. They wouldn’t say it, if they didn’t mean it.
21. Drink plenty of water. Not only does it keep you hydrated, but clears your skin.
22. I know you might want to be tan, but is it really worth being burnt and exposing yourself to all that skin cancer bull shit? No. Use at least SPF 15. It’s not that hard and you’ll still tan. So stop being a brat.
23. You’re allowed to be happy. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
24. Aim to be better, not bitter.
25. Some days are better than others.
26. You can never over pack. Pack what you want. You’ll be glad you have options to choose from.
27. Take those extra hours at work. It’ll be worth it when you see your paycheck.
28. Clean your fucking room and make your bed you slob. It’ll look so much nicer and you’ll feel better you did it.
29. If you have to, make the first move. It’s scary, but someone has to do it.
30. Take plenty of pictures. Of the sunset, your food, your friends, your dog, selfies. Everything. That way, later when you scroll through your camera roll, you’ll remember everything about that day, good or bad.

Lotus flowers painted in my watercolour Moleskine journal, using Dr Ph Martin’s Hydrus liquid watercolours. I used an Escoda Perla number 2 brush for the fine lines and details, plus a variety of Princeton and Davinci brushes for filling in.
Special thanks to Ra-Ben and Joey Lacroix for letting me use their remix of “Isaac Delusion - Sand Castle” :)
