Monthly Update October
by 
It might just be me but the darker days seem to skip quicker. It feels like October passed within the blink of an eye. I’m occupied with my graduation assignment, which is more interesting than I originally thought. Besides school my future goals keep popping up. In just 3 months I’m done with school and I won’t ever have to go back to a classroom, If I choose to.
But what do I do next? I’m educated as a teacher, as a designer, as an artist, but I can also choose to do something in robotics, informatics, electrical engineering, industrial design and so on. I feel lucky to have so many options which are substantiated with that curriculum vitae companies all crave for. Schools, studies, extracurricular activities and that weird “modeling-job” that certainly draws attention in a good and bad way, (but I don’t want to erase it, as it contributed into this current Eva-version).
People call me a dreamer, and when you grow up it feels like dreams are part of a teenage fantasy which can be maintained during your student time. Once you’ve lifted up this curtain and you’ve made it to the labor market, it feels like I should let these childish dreams go and become a grown up. A.k.a. a serious, stiff person that need to accept that doing what you love should be dealt with in your spare time and can’t be implemented into a paid job.
This is probably and hopefully not true, but I can’t shake this sad feeling. Finding something that I love doesn’t seem to walk in line with realism.
Besides these worries, I’m also debating with a critical voice inside my head. I’m a waste separation junkie. I take global warning and pollution very seriously. And here I am doing what I love, but contributing in creating more waste. The fashion industry is the second highest polluter in the world!! For now I don’t have a clear answer of how to proceed, but I might just make a drastic blog change.
October creates golden trees, beautiful colors but also sadness due to a lack of sun. Did you know that many people suffer from a winter depression because of this? A solution that drags me through these dark days is the use of Vitamin D3 (I use Solgar).
On the positive side, I’ve met some pretty cool blogger/Instagram colleagues who are very inspirational and motivating. I also had some really cool collaborations which will be uploaded in the upcoming weeks. Stay tuned.
