A sock, a suitcase, and a home

A sock, a suitcase, and a home

Kamila Mistarz 07/02/2022 13/03/2022

One day I noticed that I had a hole. Just like that – just like, let’s say, a sock can have one. It appeared suddenly and without any warning, as holes in socks usually do – you take off your shoe and BAM! There it is – a hole. It’s …

No One Can Make Me Grow Up, Right?

No One Can Make Me Grow Up, Right?

Kamila Mistarz 05/08/2021 05/08/2021

Have I ever told you the story about theory and practice? Yeah, I’ve always loved it, the fact that nothing actually seems as it really is. In theory it’s the middle of the night and I’m lying still on my bed in the darkness. I’m staring at my ceiling which …

About me

Although it may seem that a teen can't say a lot about life, the lady from the picture above has no problem with that! Here she is: a dreamer, an incurable optimist and curious about life, oversensitive person who loves art above all and wants to show its beauty to the world. Oh, I would forget. Call me Kama ;)

hey, this photo looks fun, doesn't it? I clearly hey, this photo looks fun, doesn't it? I clearly remember this day. I just got my new jacket (the first cloth that I actually bought in the UK, BY MYSELF), the coffee I hold in my hand is Zsofi's not mine, the weather finally started getting better after a really cold and rainy April. We were done with our classes. Meeting people, having parties, enjoying the surroundings of Sussex after we both spent 5 months of the pandemic in lockdown, back in our homes. I also remember another thing very very clearly. That I'm actually happy with where I am now. That all of my earlier disappointments went away, I was no longer regretting not getting to Oxford, I was genuinely happy with the choices I made. Summer was coming, I had a bestie, I was falling in love. that was a year ago. Things haven’t always been (and still aren’t) going well all the time. It sometimes hits me when I think about all of the breakdowns, broken hearts, sleepless nights and tears that led me to the place I’m at right now. And how many things ANNOY me here. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I hate it. Maybe complaining about that means it's become "mine"? No matter the answer, you can listen about my getting-to-uni journey, the expectations and disappointments I had and what annoys me about life in the UK in the latest Just Thinking... podcast. Link in bio ☝️ PS. take this episode with a grain of salt. like everything in life #studyabroad #uniexperience #studyintheuk #disappointments #newpodcastepisode #unistuff #studentexperience
what do you think about when you're left alone wit what do you think about when you're left alone with your thoughts (for too long)? coz I was thinking about all of the missed chances, bad decisions and mistakes I recently made. I was replaying old conversations (ah, I really could've said that!) staring in the void with the fifth cup of tea today in my hand. I was imagining future scenarios, analysing ALL possible cases coz I guess it gave me the illusion of control I don't have rn. my mind had no mercy on me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ thinking is exhausting, you know. it led me to this moment when I don't feel like reading, like being on the internet, watching Netflix, drawing, studying, eating, sleeping or even existing in general. my dad said my body can't fight covid coz my mind can't process my thoughts and feelings. my friend followed saying it's all because I am given time to heal. and it took me 10 days to realise they were right. as much as distractions are useful, you can't run away from yourself forever. there comes a moment when you have to come to terms with things you've been avoiding to process for so long. just like I was for the last 4 months, doing more and more things to just keep myself going. ended up overloaded, writing this post. covid had to make me stop. hey, but don't wait for enforced self-isolation to rest. healing can start anytime. take a day off. pay a bit more attention to what you feel each day (meditation is great for that tbh). don't bottle up stuff. let yourself feel things when they're happening so that next time you're left with your thoughts, you don't get scared of what you see. it's scary to face yourself but that's how you grow, right? . . . #personalgrowth #yourthoughts #stopandlisten #selfisolation #benicetoyourself
Who knows, maybe your demons will get along with m Who knows, maybe your demons will get along with mine? I'm still young (at least they say so) but I know some things about love. I suppose most of them are wrong and if I started writing them down here now, in a year I would be laughing at my own thinking. Because I learn something new about it every day. But what I know is that love is not as sweet and beautiful as it looks on valentine's day. I mean it is, but most of the time it's messy. It's imperfect but accepts it, it's all chaos but it knows how to dance in it. Coz it involves opening up and we all know what things can be found in the deepest parts of our souls... and also, it requires commitment. Making a conscious decision about being with someone every day, knowing that in the long term it will bring connection and satisfaction that can't be replaced. Today I wish you someone whose demons will get along with yours. And who will want to go with you on this journey of discovering all of the secrets of the universe, no matter how difficult it sometimes gets. • Both podcast and blog post 'Where is love?' are available for you to go through (links in bio). Hope they bring you hope and a bit of different perspective, no matter if today you're in love, missing someone or with your heart broken 💜 • Favourite love artwork, always and forever: @hollywarbs . . #loveinart #valentinesart #newblogposts #artblogger #newpodcastepisode #justthinking
It's always nice to travel but do you know where y It's always nice to travel but do you know where you're gonna come back to? I struggle with my sense of belonging recently. You know, when you're leaving your childhood home and move to a different city or country, you have to start everything anew. Find people that will accept you as you are, find places in which you will feel safe. I feel like we forget about it sometimes now, chasing all of the possibilities and "opening as many doors as we can" style. And there's nothing wrong with it! I do it myself. But it just struck me during my latest trip to Edinburgh that I don't know where I belong. That my lovely Brighton is not the best place for me. And it makes me feel half empty. As if I had a hole in myself. And that's what I'm talking about in the latest episode of Just Thinking... Podcast (and latest Heart of Art blog post)! So if you have a moment, if you feel lost as well, listen or read to my reflection on this topic. We all struggle with this at some point. Any reflections, anyone?

Pro tip: don't make New Years resolutions. Make me Pro tip: don't make New Years resolutions. Make memories. I'm truly annoyed with New Year, the pressure it puts on people and all of the fakeness it brings. Everyone is jumping around setting new goals they probably not gonna reach. Why? Our brain goes bananas when you suddenly give him a task that's far from what it knows but that's what we tend to do on Jan 1st. So no matter how hard you're gonna try to loose this 20kg, you're just gonna end up feeling blue on a blue Monday because it's not that easy as you thought. That's simple psychology. I'm not saying "don't set up goals, it's so stupid", no, goals are SUPER important in life. I'm saying that we're setting them unrealistically as our culture demands constant improvement. The beginning of the year is like hell with that as suddenly everyone wants to live a perfect life. Is it even gonna make us happy when we achieve it? Now, what if I make you realise that you don't remember ANY of your NY resolutions from last years? 5 years ago I thought that life actually IS the sum of all of your choices and memories you have. Little moments are magical and that's what truly matters. So the only thing I plan for NY is to make memories. And to practice, by putting at least 1 small card each day in my memories jar, the art of thankfulness. Because I saw a cute dog or the sunset was so nice. Try it. Instead of deciding on doing impossible things, give yourself opportunity to truly experience life each day. And I swear reading all of the cards in Jan is simply amazing. It gives you so much hope. Life is too short to let it slip through our fingers. Life means memories. Let 2022 be full of them. #memories #2022resolutions #artofliving #thankfullness

IT'S HAPPENING. Yes, I still can't believe it, bu IT'S HAPPENING. Yes, I still can't believe it, but my first exhibition is opening tommorow! "The Polimorphs" are talking about change and how technology is influencing the way in which we create, perceive and exhibit art. AND it's sponsored by @samsungpolska . Still can't believe it you know? So, if you're by any chance in Bialystok between 16.12.2021 and 08.01.2022 stop by to see my first very own artistic baby. I can't say I'm not proud. I am. The amount of things I've learned thanks to this - unbelievable. More about the exhibition soon and on stories ☝️ See you at "The Polimorphs"! ~~~~ TO SIE DZIEJE. Tak, wciąż nie wierzę, że pierwsza wystawa sztuki, którą kuratoruję, otwiera się już jutro o 18.00 w @galeriaachand! "Polimorfy" mówią o zmianie, która dzieje się na naszych oczach. Zmianie w tworzeniu, postrzeganiu i sposobie w jakim sztuka jest wystawiana w przestrzeniach galeryjnych. NO I sponsoruje mnie Samsung Polska. Nadal wydaje się to niemożliwe. Ale! Jeśli jesteście w Białymstoku między 16.12.2021 a 08.01.2022 wspadajcie do Galerii Marchand zobaczyć moje pierwsze artystyczne dziecko. No nie powiem, dumna jestem. Ilość rzeczy, których się nauczyłam - bezcenna.

I'm 20. Wow. That's a bunch of time. 20 years ago I'm 20. Wow. That's a bunch of time. 20 years ago feels for me as far away as the dinosaurs era. It's crazy how many things happened in this time, like not even in my life but in general. I'm entering my 20s in the world of a global pandemic, not mentioning that I'm in the UK, now beyond EU, studying art and science combined, in a foreign language. We're a few days away from COP26, beacuse when it comes to climate, Earth is falling apart. The Talibans are ruling Afghanistan again. NFTs market is soaring. Refugees are dying in the forests on the border in my region. And apparently polish prime minister wants to start World War III with EU. Yes. It seems like none of my childhood birthday wishes for the "better world" worked. But that child's changed so much and now she knows that the world won't become better by itself. Today, what I wish for my birthday is courage. And not even for me but for all of us. 'Cause no matter what you do in life, you need courage to start. If that's about loving yourself or someone else, dreaming, breaking small/big rules. About making the first step, speaking up, going forward. About making the world a better place. On that imaginary cake I made for myslef I have just 1 candle. I close my eyes and blow it. I wish for courage. . . . #20s #soaring20s #madworld #cop26 #refugees #ue #europeanunion #eu #birthdaywish #courage #havecourage #motivation #betterworld #20thbirthday #takeaction #nfts #sussexuni #brighton #sea #arthistorystudent #betterfuture #climatechangeisreal #wwiii
Who am I? Even though I know that the only perso Who am I? Even though I know that the only person who can answer this question is ME (ah), I still sometimes don't know what to say. Because you know, one day you feel as if you could move the mountains, life is beautiful, you know your "why", you feel loved. And then the other day comes. And suddenly you feel like you can't even move your legs. One of the subjects in a small photo challenge I take part in, is colour and also a composition that shows who you are. My artsy mind couldn't stop itself from thinking about composition... but in art. I made this small watercolor on an art mindfulness class. "Let go of any judgement. Paint what you feel." they said. And I did (I think). So, here I am: vibrant, a bit messy, undiscovered. My mind is usually full of light and colours besides the times when it isn't. Don't ask me why and how it's me - just immediately after finishing I knew it's very mine (ah the power of artistic expression). But jokes aside, try it. Take a piece of paper, some crayons, paints and create. Let it go like Elsa did. You will be surprised what things art can reveal about you. . . #kobiecafotoszkoła #wyzwaniekfs1 #wyzwaniekfs #wyzwaniekfs4 #colourful #messy #thisisme #artsblogger #arttherapy #mindfulart #artmindfulness #myart #watercolour #paintyourself #expressiveart #callmekama #challange #photochallange #artcomposition #artcritic
