I recently watched this video about ‘Kudzu’ a vine originating from Japan that has largely taken over many parts of the southern US. It grows on everything and takes sunlight from other living plants. These landscapes are really spectacular and haunting and the plant is just performing what it was made to do. Yet people really try to fight it with all their might and often destroy it. The aime cesare quote makes some kind of sense in this way, I did not only put it for the Kudzu however, also for the other trees and plants that get strangled out by the Kudzu. Wrong time wrong place my friend, I feel your pain however.

Today I cleaned my room in the morning and went to Imma at around noon. On the train I wrote a part of the letter I want to send to Daria. On the bike I met Febe from last years residency at Frans Masereel centrum. We had a really nice chat before I went on to immas place. It always suprises me to see her. Especially this time, she changed a lot. She looks a lot fuller and healthy now and has really grown so much into herself compared with the time we were together. It makes me really happy to see this, she is also super super happy with her now longtime boyfriend. She told me she will quit school and work, and that she has never looked forward to the future as much as now. I could see it in her and I think it is epic. We had a nice time. Everytime we see each other there is always a point at which we start expressing gratitude towards each other for everything we meant and impacted for the other so many years in the past. And I really do believe this, I think I carry Imma in my DNA somehow and that is really beautiful. After coming back home and eating I went to drive with my mother, Im beginning to really get the hang of casually driving around in trafic, that feels nice. After I went to swim really hard. Im feeling like I want to take some kind of psychedelics again sometime soon. It has been a super long time and I feel it is the right moment in my life right now.
