On Hobbies

Literally get into an activity that involves touching things or You. Will. Die.

It can be so easy in this day and age to feel like that’s not an option, and binge culture has made the sickening descent into couch-based isolation and lack of self-discipline not only acceptable but a “fun personality trait” for many. But sometimes, often, you need to give your brain a break from consuming and Create something. You need to give yourself time. To think. And maybe even do something with your hands while your imagination roams free.

I’ve been addicted to social media. I’ve defended social media. I’ve nearly fist fought my parents for trying to take my phone (they were absolutely in the wrong). I’ve had multiple twitters at the same time. I don’t have a twitter anymore. I’ve been depressed, and scared, and wanted nothing more than to escape the ceasless, screaming void that was my life.

Filling that void with the internet did nothing for me. It was help from my oldest sister that did. Her and her husband got me out of my house, taught me how to be a healthy adult, then set me loose.

What does this have to do with hobbies?

My wife has severe seasonal depression. This fall, she is doing amazingly better than usual, and I couldn’t be more proud of her. She picked up sewing in September. Now she spends hours a day working on projects, watching videos, or planning what new dress she can make out of a tablecloth. It gives her mind something to do to take her mind off the cold. It also lets her interact with the winter by taking charge of her fashion and making warm clothes that she likes and has a personal connection to. And at the end of a long project, she always has a new piece of clothing. Something she produced and can take pride in.

It has also helped her relationship with others. In our group of friends, she has already gotten several requests to hem or adjust clothes, which makes her feel very needed and grows a sense of community. [Side note: I love my awesome wife and could gush about her all day] She also watches YouTube videos of clothing makers while working and gets all kind of inspiration from them that she loves to tell me about. When I see the light shining in here eyes my heart fills with the joy she’s found. Plus I got some new pajama bottoms.

I like vegetable gardening. I don’t currently have a garden but I’m working on getting a plot in the town community garden. In the meantime I’ve started following different gardening or nature-centric people on social media, and I’m going to start researching different gardening tips. The plan is to one day interact with other people who share my interests and make friends, but even just now I recognize how happy it makes me to look into those things. It calms my heart and reminds me to be kind.

I also realized I kind of have a knack for building things out of cardboard. First it was a box/jungle for our cat that I made from 12-4am for no reason but I love him, and then a dinosaur for a school project.

So—and this is where it starts getting applicable to your own life—I’m going to ask all my friends for their spare cardboard whenever they get it and I’m just going to make things. Animals. Decorations. Unsturdy shelves. Some of the things I make are probably going to be really crappy, but I’ll also get better as I go on. Hopefully someday when I have money to spend I’ll turn this into actual woodworking. But for now, I have cardboard and a pocket knife, and I’m going to put my grubby little hands all over it and have some fun.

Crocheting? Baking? Painting? Building? Making sculptures out of pipe cleaners? Practicing your handwriting? Scrapbooking? Cutting up all your blankets then stitching them together in different patterns?

It’s not only good but necessary for your mental, emotional, and physical health to take your eyes off of a screen and make your hands do something tactile every now and again. Or even more often than not. But right now, just start something. Anything. You don’t have to show anyone, you don’t have to be good at it as long as it makes you feel good. Looking for ideas or intimidated by how hard something seems? The internet, with all its greedy human pitfalls, is an incredible tool for learning things. Use it for good.

Don’t only consume. Create.

Something I’ve always wanted to do…is to create a small clothing boutique with my own designs. But the twist would be that each collection would be based off of an original story prompt written to show the various beauties of how our humanity can be expressed alongside the elements of nature and different places and time periods, and to empower those who wear the outfits with their stories in mind.

A way to further spread positive magick and influence through collaborative creativity, if you will!

The Door


Why must I have so much stress?

It’s like my body’s in distress.

Stress SongI can’t do this much longer

They day’s getting harder to suffer,

It’s like in in too deep

Just like the boy who cried wolf and his sheep.

I can’t ask for the help that I need.


woah….I can’t do this any more.

I’m going to walk right out the door

yeah… cause

I can’t keep letting this happen to me.

I’m begging, pleading,

mercy, mercy please……

I’m going to walk on out the door.


What on earth have I done?

To the one guy on earth that calls me hun?

I just want to be myself,

But I’m like a purple elf,

I blend into the public crowd,

I hide in the shroud

cause I can’t face my problems.


oooohhhh I can’t do this any more..

I’m going to walk right out the door

yeah… cause

I can’t keep letting this happen to me…

I begging, pleading, mercy mercy please…

I’m going to walk on out the door.


Why can’t I get over it?

I’m treating it like a prom night zit.

I can’t stand it,

I can’t take it,

But I won’t leave it here for you….


So I’m going to do this some more.

I’m going to shut and lock that door.


yeah… cause

I’m going to let this happen to me.

I’m begging, pleading

mercy, mercy please……

Help me shut and lock that door.

I hope this is me.I hope this is me.I hope this is me.I hope this is me.

I hope this is me.

Product: polished brass with 18k gold plating with hand painted high gloss enamel finishing rings.

Styling: Nalinna

‘Inspirations come from days in our life, whatever we see, we make sense of it’.

GOOD AFTER NINE was created by these two talented designers from Bangkok, Chawanunt Thongpool (DON) and Tidarin Srisook (NINE) since 2009. 

The main focus is to design and produce quality craftsmanship products, creating perfect pieces of jewelry through expertise, skill, materials and forms. That is why they are unique.

The philosophy of GOOD AFTER NINE is that most people usually live their lives from 9 am – 9 pm. Starting work at 9am and enjoying themselves after 9 pm.

Products are designed and manufactured in Bangkok, Thailand.

‘GOOD AFTER NINE not just our work, it’s our life.’

—————————————————————————————————————————

The most important essence in my fashion style up is the ring, or perhaps ‘rings’. I am a collector of every little thing that I encounter through my daily lives. Even though jewelry pieces are considered small items but to me, they are a part of who I am, specially those which represent my characteristics like these beautiful wildflower rings from GOOD AFTER NINE.

I was introduced through GOOD AFTER NINE about a few months ago though I believe I have seen their collections a few times when I took a stroll around Bangkok city. I must say their premium quality caught my eyes after having seen their designs of ‘Bloom’ collection. I feel like a complete forest wanderer when I got hold of them. 

One is not enough I need to create a bunch on my fingers :)

shoutout to slow creators!

i know it can be disheartening to work so slowly when it seems like everyone around you works so fast and churns out great content left and right. i know it’s easy to get frustrated with yourself for having to spend so much time on one thing and sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated long enough to finish. but the things you make are so good, and taking lot of time on something isn’t a bad thing. creation can be a very painstaking process, but the amount of love and care and effort and attention you pour into your work bleeds through. people can feel it. they appreciate it. they see how hard you try and they see how your thoughtful approach to creation affects the quality of the end product. speed is definitely a skill you can develop and chances are as you practice more and get more comfortable with things, you’ll be able to work faster. but no matter what, the things you make are worth waiting for. keep creating! you are wonderful!

I want to add that everyone’s depiction of ‘slow’ is different. I wrote 24 poems and illustrated each one in just one year. And while I didn’t write a poem everyday that is still a lot for me and I would definitely not call it a slow creation. And guess what? After that it took me a whole year to create 4! poems. Just four!

So whether you take one hour, one week or one month or year for a single artwork, it’s all valid. There will be times when you’ll create art faster and there will be times where you’re slower. Don’t stress out too much ♡︎

There do not exist two distinct and separate types of mind, one for the arts and humanities, the other for the sciences… You must possess both intuition and imagination to be creative in the sciences as well as the arts… There is science in all good poetry and vice versa.
