The Aesthete Blogger Award

Image Description (Originally by Khushi at Blind Girl Musings): The image has a white background. At the center there is a pink and brown globe with figures of woman dancing, art pallet, ink and feather, music symbols, paper airplane, a statue, and a paper and a feather pen. The pen is shown in such a way that it seems like someone is writing on the paper with it. “The aesthete blogger award,” is written at the top with a butterfly between the words ‘the’ and ‘aesthete.’ On the left and right of this picture are hands with flowers and something written which is too small to read.

ANOTHER blogger award! I was nominated for this award by the lovely Khushi from Blind Girl Musings. The award was originally created by Ashmita over at A Fictional Journal (original post can be found via this link). With that, let’s get onto the post. 

First things first, RULES 

Award Rules

List the rules. 

Show some love to the one who nominated you! 

Mention the creator (Asmita@ the Fictional Journal) and link it back to the original post. 

Tell me a something about this world that you admire. 

What is your favourite form of creativity? 

Nominate 7 lovely people and notify them by commenting on their posts; spread some love! 

Ask your nominees 4 questions. 

Share something you created. (Can be anything!) 

And lastly, just so you know: I LOVE YOUR CREATIONS! 

My Answers to the Ashmita (the creators’) Questions 

Tell me a something about this world that you admire. 

The variety in it. The variety of cultures, experiences, language, everything. I just find the differences between how people see the world and how societies are built fascinating. Probably tells you something about why I have a Sociology and Psychology degree. 

What is your favourite form of creativity? 

Definitely blogging. Putting words to paper (or page) gets a lot of thoughts out of my head and generally helps me generally keep it together. How I write is how I sound. 

My Answers to Khushi’s Questions 

What’s the last song you listen to? 

There’s kind of 2 answers to this. The song I was listening to when I planned this blog post was Resolution by Dermot Kennedy. However, the song I’m listening to as I type this is I’d Do Anything by Simple Plan  

What’s the last book you read, if you’re a reader? Did you like it? Tell me something about it. 

The last book I fully read through was Syncopated Blue by Ryan Hennessey. It’s a poetry book, which isn’t the usual style I read but I really enjoyed it. The only reason I didn’t immediately reread it is because I was on a train and worried I’d miss my stop. 

How would you feel if you were born in an era when people still communicated primarily through exchanging letters? 

I feel like I’d struggle and not enjoy it for 2 reasons. Firstly, my condition makes handwriting difficult and means it takes quite a long time. I also have no patience which means I’d probably find it really annoying waiting for a reply, particularly with the time it takes to receive letters through the post.  

Who’s your favourite author? I know there can be more than 1 so feel free to share as many as you want! 

I’d say Jo Nesbo  because The Snowman is one of few books I could reread 1000 times and still be as shocked and unnerved (in the best way) every time. 

My Questions 

1. Why did you start blogging? 

2. One place you’d like to travel to? 

3. One type of creativity you admire and wish you could do? 

4. One thing you do to relax?
