28 February 1963

This is the date Kenny Lynch refused to help John and Paul write 'From Me to You':

Kenny Lynch, who, at this time, fancied himself as a songwriter, sauntered up to the back of the coach and decided he would help John and Paul write a song. After a period of about half an hour had elapsed and nothing seemed to be coming from the back, Kenny rushed to the front of the coach and shouted, ‘Well, that’s it. I am not going to write any more of that bloody rubbish with those idiots. They don’t know the music from their backsides. That’s it! No more help from me!’

--Roger Greenaway, Anthology

Today, for some reason, it dawned on me that I am mentally ill.

I have, of course, been mentally ill and have known this to be true for almost a decade, but for some reason, today something about this knowledge hit home, and I'm not sure what it is.

Four days ago, as I was in crisis, I dug my nails into wrists, as I've been doing occasionally the last couple of months. I know it's not healthy, but it's difficult to remember that as my mind is reeling out of control. It's an almost but not quite unconscious act. But for the first time, as I woke up the next day, I realised I had left marks. I was shocked. Yesterday, as I told my therapist, she asked if I'd known, as I was doing it, that I was digging deeper than before. I didn't. Now, whenever I roll up my sleeves, I see the marks, and they have entered the itching stage of the healing process. They are a constant reminder.

Maybe that's the thing that has clicked.

I have also been reflecting on the intersection that is my giftedness and my depression. There is the obvious connection where the former is causing the latter, something I hadn't really accepted until very recently - and it still feels like the most ridiculous thing to even consider. But additionally, I wonder if my giftedness in some way informs my experience of being mentally ill. To be gifted is to have a heightened consciousness, a greater awareness of what is happening around and to you. Does that make my experience of being mentally ill in some way different from those who are not gifted?

I have no idea, because I have never not been me.

#depression #giftedness #mental health #mental illness #self-harm cw #writing #my writing #a story every day #28 february #2024 #this isn't really a story #just some musings #i guess #just happens to be what's on my mind today

Andalusia Day

Andalusia Day or ‘Dia de Andalucia,’ is celebrated every year on February 28 in Spain. Andalusia is located in the southernmost region of the country and on this day in 1980, the people of the region voted to make it an autonomous community in Spain. The word ‘autonomous’ implies the power of a community or territory to self-govern and make its own decisions without outside interference. Although a few nationalist groups prefer to celebrate on December 4, February 28 is the officially recognized date for Andalusia Day.

History of Andalusia Day

On February 28, 1980, the people of Andalusia organized and held a referendum, titled the ‘Statute of Autonomy of Andalusia referendum.’ The purpose of the vote was to decide on the independence of the Andalusian community. The referendum was successfully passed and from that day, Andalusia became autonomous.

However, a few nationalist groups choose to celebrate Andalusia Day on December 4, a date which marks the demonstrations to demand independence that took place in 1977. Andalusia Day is celebrated as a community public holiday where businesses may close to participate in the festivities. It is, however, only celebrated in Andalusia and not the rest of Spain.

Some schools may also close for a week to participate in a ‘Semana Cultural’ or ‘Semana Blanca’, which means a cultural week or white week respectively. Schools also celebrate the Friday before Andalusia Day with a traditional Andalusian breakfast of sliced toast drizzled in olive oil and a cup of orange juice. Students also color in pictures of the symbols of Andalusia.

Andalusia Day is usually observed by families in intimate gatherings, although festivals and other social activities also mark the day. The people of Andalusia usually decorate their buildings with the national flag, as well as green and white bunting.

Andalusia is located in Southwestern Europe, south of the Iberian Peninsula. It is largely an agricultural community, though, in recent times, it has seen exponential growth in industrialization. Andalusia has eight parts to it, Almeria, Cádiz, Córdoba, Granada, Huelva, Jaén, Málaga and the capital city of the community, Seville.

Fit: I would never hit my own children. My own biological children. I would never hit my own children, but these little bastards– [he kills a "Snot" a child-like mob] Fair game, fair game. [Fit looks at Ramon] Well, ok, biological or adopted, it doesn't matter. My children– I would never hit my children.

Fit: See, now I just opened up a can of worms– now someone's like "Ramon's your biological child???" So what if he is? So what if he is, huh? [Reading chat] No I'm not a bird, I didn't lay Ramon. That sounds painful. That sounds extremely painful.

[QSMP kicks him off the server]

Fit: You know, and– literally because we're having this conversation right now, the QSMP admins were like "Uhh, no, we gotta restart the server. Fit's talking about pushing eggs out of his ass."

National Floral Design Day

Unleash your creativity and bring nature's vibrant beauty to life through stunning arrangements that captivate the senses and evoke joy.

It’s time to stop and smell the roses! Flower Design Day is all about showing appreciation for floral design as a unique and creative art form. Since flowers have been enjoyed and admired throughout the world since the beginning of human history, it just makes sense that the design of flowers should have its own day to celebrate.

History of National Floral Design Day

It all started with the idea to create a special way of celebrating the birthday of Carl Rittner, who was the founder of the Rittner School of Floral Design in Boston back in 1947. As a pioneer in floral art education, Rittner has shared his wealth of knowledge in the floral industry and had a marked impact on thousands of students from all throughout the world.

Some people don’t realize that National Floral Design Day was officially proclaimed by the Governor of Massachusetts. William F. Weld, in 1995. Since that time, floral design has been celebrated on this day each year.

History lesson aside, today is an excuse to go wild about flowers and let that inner creativity spark. There are so many things that can be done with flowers – the sky really is the limit. National Floral Design Day is the perfect time to display that innovative and original side when it comes to making the world more beautiful with floral creations!

How to Celebrate National Floral Design Day

Show some love and appreciation for everything related to flowers on National Floral Design Day! Get started with some of these delightful ideas:

Make Some Floral Design Creations

In honor and celebration of National Floral Design Day, show off that floral talent and create a spectacular floral design with flowers – whether real, dried or silk. Draw pictures of floral designs and it might even be fun to get the kids involved. Guys can get in on the fun too. Why not arrange an impressive floral bouquet for that leading lady or to take in and share with the folks at the office?

Learn Some Benefits of Floral Design

When National Floral Design Day was declared by the Governor of Massachusetts in 1995, the proclamation included a number of reasons that were listed about why this art form is important. Here are some of the main reasons for setting the day aside in celebration and honor of floral design:

Floral design fosters creativity and develops perceptual awareness as an art form.

Floral design allows individuals to express themselves and their emotions in celebration of a variety of holidays and life events such as births, deaths, weddings and more.

Floral design utilizes natural media as a unique art form that includes aspects including line, color, balance, structure and much more to create visual pleasure.

Take a Floral Design Class

One excellent way to get on board with celebrating National Floral Design Class might be to sign up to learn more about the craft. Those who have never been involved with floral design before can take a beginner class that allows them to learn the basics about this art form. For those folks who have a general idea of what they are doing but could improve their skills, sign up for an advanced class at a local community center or floral design school.

Create a Floral Themed Playlist

Celebrating National Floral Design Day can be loads of fun with the right tunes to go with it! Build a playlist on Spotify, Apple music or another online platform to support the theme of the day with the best songs to jam out to while designing some beautiful floral arrangements.

Check out some of these fun songs with a floral theme to get a playlist started :

Everything’s Coming Up Roses (1959) by Ethel Merman

You Don’t Bring Me Flowers (1978) by Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand

Bed of Roses (1993) by Bon Jovi

Supermarket Flowers (2017) by Ed Sheeran

taylorswift: Sydney, Sydney, Sydney, Sydney… what a whirlwind of endless magical moments with you. I’m so grateful that we got to be the first tour to play Accor Stadium 4 times. I’ll never forget singing with Sabrina, the chaotic acoustic mashups, and the crowds that were louder (singing AND screaming) than I thought humanly possible. I want to thank all of the Aussie fans for being so positive and passionate, so funny and wild and FUN. Love you forever 🤍
