The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.

Finalized building my online portfolio. I subscribed to Cargo.Site so I could connect my domain and make it public.

Watched the film Sealed Soil at TIFF Lightbox, an Iranian story about a young woman pressured to get married. I could feel the lead character’s frustration in her restrained life. I didn’t eat anything after 6:30 p.m., even though I wanted to after the movie. 

I’m glad I didn’t remove the AC. I had a feeling I’d still need it, even with the new cooling system being installed. In Toronto, I always feel safer with backups. I didn’t expect the fee for opting into the cooling system to be that high. It’s charged year-round, not just during the summer, which I don’t quite understand. I decided not to opt in and will keep using my AC.

I searched for Korean-speaking therapists and signed up for a free session. I received a reply and scheduled a video call for tomorrow at 4 p.m. The benefits from the church start on July 1, including up to $1,500 in therapy coverage. I’m planning to go twice a month for the rest of this year, and once a month starting next year. I’ve already imagined the first session in my head, including introducing myself and talking about life after the divorce.
