August Challenge Day 12~
List 5 or more things you love beyond family etc
1. Fantasy, fairytales and folklore - Shocking I know. My tough persona has been ruined lol
2. Nature, animals, flowers, rivers etc - I spent a good portion of my childhood either reading or playing with my brother up trees, in a river, or sitting in field making daisy chains lol
3. Domestic History - I just answered a question about my comfort shows. I didn't watch TV shows. I watched documentaries and the history channel. Not even joking. When my friends were sick in high school, I would spend lunch time in the library reading the history books. There was one for fashion throughout the centuries and I'm pretty sure I left my ink smudged fingerprints all over the pages lol where my love for old world aesthetics come from.
4. Cooking and baking - A lot of what we do is thanks to our childhood and this is another one I owe to my grandmother. That woman could have made a 3 course meal blindfolded. I guess it was just her generation. At Christmas she had herself, my grandfather, 5 kids plus partners and 10 grandkids, having Christmas dinner, several desserts and then a supper of fries, pies and salads and sandwiches. I don't know how she did it but I was awestruck watching her. I'm at home in a kitchen collecting recipes to try.
5. Self Expression- Art, music and style all fall into a sense of self so I've listed them together. It goes without saying that I love art. I have a particular love for sketch and watercolour styles.
6. I've already listed nature but I have a particular love for the sea. Evolution screwed me over. I want to be a mermaid damn it >...<
7. Ohhh how could I forget. Tea sets.
