When it comes to matters of love, it’s often platonic devotion that proves the most intimate and carries the most weight in one’s life. It’s the love stories of friendship, the decades-spanning, unbreakable connection to someone that stays around as lovers come and go. Yes, romantic love is an all-encompassing illness of the heart, but without a best friend to guide you, life becomes less tolerable. Cinema has long been awash in tales of romantic love, of course, but it’s rare to see a tale of love between two female best friends, especially one that genuinely shows what it is like to have that kind of soul mate, without whom everything else would be askew. But with Noah Baumbach’s latest film, Frances Ha, we see one woman’s journey of self-discovery, ignited by a fractured friendship.

Same with male/female friendship I feel.

I’m back from my week in Mallorca and eating a fish finger sandwich. All is right in the world. Can’t wait to be travelling again though…

I just looked back on my old blog and was horrified. So much cringe. I am a completely different person now, and so positive again, it is unreal. I had forgotten how much I used tumblr as an escape. So much change, so much good!

architectureofhappiness:

If you told a girl in a bar you were an architect but you were only Part 1 qualified would the ARB find out and send you a formal reprimand?

This has definitely crossed my mind (obviously not all too seriously). Forever referring to self as architect.

My mac’s hard drive is recoverable. I bought a Windows laptop, it was a long time coming. My mum just gave me her suit from way back which is grey with a black velvet collar, and I am in love. On Tuesday I go to Mallorca. At the end of this month (delayed due to mac failure) I apply to intern in Shanghai (and try other places too). IT’S ALL HAPPENING.

Getting anonymous hate was probably genuinely the best part of my day today. Losing my Mac, most probably losing all my portfolio work, realising I am single and not particularly loving it due to the aforementioned, and losing the will to live. Tomorrow be better please, bring me happy news.

You are fucking ugly as sin.

“It’s a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you’re ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.”

I’m not insinuating anything… but if you’re going to send ex boyfriend related hate through my tumblr and then stalk my LinkedIn, it’s making it a bit obvious. I DON’T WANT YOUR BOYFRIEND, AND DON’T WORRY, I AM CURRENTLY RATHER UNSUCCESSFUL. PS I love America, don’t hurt me.

The joy of finally kind of having a portfolio I’m not going to immediately throw in the bin (because I have no other choice) is coming to me.

commovente:

Act Romegialli Architects built the ‘Green box’ as the renovation of a small disused garage, an accessory to a weekend house situated on the slopes of the Raethian Alps. A structure realized with lightweight metal galvanized profiles and steel wires wraps the existent volume and transforms it into a three-dimensional support for the climbing vegetation. It is composed mainly by deciduos vegetation.Inside the pavillion provides a room for the gardening tools, an area for cooking and a space for conviviality. Materials are left rough and simple; galvanized steel for the kitchen, larch planks for flooring and big sliding doors, windows in unpainted galvanized steel, simple pipes for the water supply. To us it seems to be the perfect little retreat. (source)
