Hi, I’m B🌷 Introvert | artist | book lover | cat parent | nature lover | mobile photographer

This is my personal online diary of slow days and kind hours, where I collect quiet moments and turn them into cherished memories. Here you’ll find:

• well-loved books & annotated pages

• my two cats

• sketchbook fragments

• slow walks in nature & cozy days on the farm

• small, beautiful details of everyday life

Think of it as a warm nook for reading, sketching, pressed flowers between pages, slow living, cottagecore moments, and good habits.

I'm happy you found your way here. Stay awhile 💌

The sky becomes a living painting when evening clouds catch the fading light🎀

day began before sunrise with a wake-up call from the hungry foster cat & her two kittens (took them in yesterday, which is why I'm back at the farmhouse), followed by a few more hours of sleep and an unhurried morning 💛

enjoyed the outdoors in the evening among the shrub roses, watching beautiful clouds. dusk brought thunder and rain from the east (...again), lingering well into the night.

June 1st, and I'm realizing how far I've come since the start of this year. What really made it click was finally getting my ears pierced, something that had been sitting on my wish list for the past two years! I'm so happy 💜💜

I'm feeling deeply grateful for everything this year has taught me so far :) Not every step has been easy but each experience has shaped me in ways I couldn't have predicted. Looking back, I can see growth in places where I only saw uncertainty and that feels worth celebrating. There's something beautiful about looking back and realizing that the life you once imagined can eventually become your reality 💌 The future is uncertain but I can make the most of today. So I'm gonna make good memories now to help me through the tough times, they’ll be a reminder of all the good that exists in my life 🍀

P.S. One of the favorite parts about getting my ears pierced was telling my long-distance friend that I finally did it and her immediate response after pure excitement being, "now I can finally gift you some earrings" !! <3

it was a good kind month ♡♡♡ collected a lot of precious moments. the days felt lighter. i laughed more than i expected to. i took more photos of ordinary things. i worried about some stuff, got through it anyway, and found comfort in small routines.

"There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting." —Anne of Green Gables

"...a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my inmost soul. I’ve dreamed of meeting her all my life. I never really supposed I would, but so many of my loveliest dreams have come true all at once that perhaps this one will, too. Do you think it’s possible?” —Anne of Green Gables

met my friend and wandered through the prettiest botanical garden all afternoon!! spring had everything glowing—flowers and greenery everywhere, and hours disappearing while we sat on a sheet under the willow trees just talking and drawing. at the end we wandered to the prettiest lakeside where a gorgeous willow tree spilled into the water ♡♡

over a week of slow mornings, nature rich moments, and wishing i could stay forever ♡

farmhouse archives filled with sunrise over mountain, cozy instants, work-worn hands, quiet evenings and the kind of peace that makes time feel softer 🥀

somehow forgot what noise felt like; now back in the town, things sound too sharp, too fast, too awake for someone who still belongs to open windows and soft golden light🦋

"...I’m not in the depths of despair this morning. I never can be in the morning. Isn’t it a splendid thing that there are mornings?" —Anne of Green Gables

feeling blessed to have mornings so lovely ♡

🌿 mid-month check in #mindfulmay 2026 🌿

halfway through May already, and maybe you're not where you thought you’d be but that’s okay. for me, progress lately has looked more like persistence than perfection ♡

growth is rarely dramatic. sometimes it looks like:

- getting up and moving around anyway

- replying to the messages

- taking a breath before reacting

- trying again after a hard day

we’re figuring it out one day at a time anyway 🌼

make space for: ☕ more presence 🍰 less pressure 🌞 small joys 🌷 softer thoughts

some personal wins i’m celebrating lately:

• completing more pages in sketchbook and annotating Pride & Prejudice

• being productive and getting so much farm work done!

• creating a mindset that helps me move through the whole day efficiently :)

• taking breaks in nature & letting my mind quiet down. my daily morning walks have changed only in the sense that i don't have an allotted time for it but otherwise i walk around the farm a lot

• and more, but i've been so tired lately that i haven't looked over my diary to see them all yet

morning and evening 🌞☁

soft productive days ♡

my brother & i fixed the swing more, it feels much sturdier now. kind of charming too in a patched-together way.

studying (slowly but surely) while swinging softly, with birdsong in background & winds making the leaves all around whistle 🍃

we put new carpet in one of the rooms, it looks very nice!

all the roses are fully in bloom now and they look magnificent! it honestly changes the whole mood of the garden. the clover patch is still there too, still very peaceful to stand in ☘️

feeding the goats as i walk past them is turning into a lovely habit 🐐

the clouds keep returning to the sky in the evenings

everything feels a little more beautiful lately, and i'm so grateful 💚

There was a freshness in the air as of a wind that had blown over honey-sweet fields of clover. — L.M. Montgomery

"Most of the dandelions had changed from suns into moons."

The day was wonderful, despite the lows. Started morning early with a walk around the farm with mom, sun peeked over the mountains and raindrops from the night's storm rested so gently on the flowers that you'd have never guessed the chaos they came from. I swung on the little swing we built ourselves and officially started my studies again! (better late than never 🌼)

Got quite some productive work done around the farm, while also taking time to spend with Lily and my cats (who are still adjusting to the shift but thankfully eating and sleeping fine).

The mood got tense at times, as it tends to in some situations, with everyone a little too high-keyed. Thankfully things softened as the day went on. I went on an evening walk after, sat on the swing for a while and let the quiet settle in gently 💚

the art and the muse 💌

Finally at the farmhouse for the spring :) Car ride was crazy because of the cats, but thankfully that was the only stressful part.

Morning felt so beautiful today (always my favorite time of the day). light filtering through the tree leaves, glowing softly on the flowers, grass and clover patches, with the poppies shining like nothing else. I stayed outside for at least an hour just soaking it all in while bees buzzed sweetly around the clover. In between work, sat on the swing for a while, then stayed with Lily, which was even better :D Later in the evening I went back to the swing to enjoy the cool breeze. It was a little too cold but still lovely, with a dove singing in the distance ♡

just trying my best lately. some days i feel grounded, some days i feel like i’m barely holding onto myself. life feels heavy and beautiful at the same time. trying my best not to lose myself while chasing the things i want. still trying, still building habits that keep me afloat. maybe that counts for something.

Two more completed sketch pages (references/inspiration: Pinterest) and yes, I successfully avoided drawing the faces :)

[P.S. photos my mom sent me from the farmhouse ♡]
