Just sharing stuff I love...

This doesn’t make any sense... Not everything does... Not everything has to...

Here’s something cute

When lockdown happened in the UK it happened very suddenly. At the law firm I work at, our office building emptied overnight when everyone was told to work from home. No time to clear our desks, no time to bring office plants home.

Fast forward three and a half months - everyone assumes that their plants are dead.

But then! An email goes round! It’s turns out that one of our security guards is a florist, and -

-the security team has moved EVERY SINGLE PLANT from all 12 FLOORS of our office building into the cafeteria. It’s been turned into a temporary greenhouse. Cacti and succulents and spider plants and terrariums and potted ferns

AND! Each plant has been INDIVIDUALLY LABELLED by hand with post-it notes with name and desk location so the plants can go home after lockdown ends

To give some indication of the scale of the endeavour:

If you zoom into the centre right photo you can see one of our security team happily waving

The plants are being taken care of tenderly. They get sun and water and are spending happy times with other plant friends

You’re not behind. You’re right on track, on your personal path which might look totally different from anyone else’s. 

I admit I tend to feel like I’m running out of time, especially with how much I accomplish with my art. But at the end of it all, there’s no timeline and certainly no finish line. It’s hard because there’s always so much more I want to create, and there’s only a limited amount of time in between working full-time as an engineer, so I always feel like my art is moving slower than I want it to. But there’s no point in rushing myself if it’s a detriment to my mental health. I can enjoy the journey while creating and accomplishing more of my goals at a sustainable pace. 🙏 I hope this helps anyone feeling like they’re behind. We have plenty of time, so there’s no rush. 💛

Just keep swimming 🙂 the only time you stop making progress is when you quit but even then you can start again at trying tomorrow. Do not dwell on shit that has given you more pain than pleasure it isn’t were your energy is needed. Happy people are kind people so work on being happy and then you may find happiness returned.

You can even have different definitions for progress for yourself on different days. Progress comes in many forms and varies wildly between people and stages of life, so don’t feel bad if your progress looks different! 🌱

There’s no secret or magic solution to your mental health. Some days will be rough even when you’re doing your best and practicing all the coping techniques you can. Don’t despair, it happens! Things will get better again soon. ♡

Having friends on tumblr is really great. I often refer to you guys in real life as “my friend from england/autralia/california/new york” and it makes people think I’m very well traveled when really I’ve just spent a lot of time on the Internet.

My true-love hath my heart, and I have his, By just exchange one for another given: I hold his dear and mine he cannot miss, There never was a better bargain driven: My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.

His heart in me keeps him and me in one, My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides: He loves my heart, for once it was his own, I cherish his because in me it bides: My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.

Sending love to everyone who is dreading the holiday season. Whether it’s because of trauma, missing someone you lost, the constant misgendering you will face, or something else entirely, your feelings around this time of year are valid. Make sure to take extra care of yourself, and don’t be afraid to partake in what does make you happy this time of year.
