Why are blushes so uncomfortable

#I only blush when I'm displeased #and you can't see it #but it's uncomfortable

Creating the life that I want

1. Sleep off this headache 2. Vacuum 3. Hang clothes to dry 4. Clean kitchen 5. Grocery shopping 6. Tackle this week's workload

#Sometimes creating the life you want is not fun #spread the bread #but at least I'll have a comfortable and not filthy living space to show for it

My loved ones keep buying me socks/slippers. I feel very loved and spoiled every time, but now I have 4 pairs of at-home footwear lolol.

#Spread the bread #text post #This is over several years #I just haven't worn out any of them yet #though the first pair has a hole on the bottom #its just not ineffective anymore so I keep it.

Creating the life I want

1. Put water on to boil 1.5. Put on a chill playlist 2. Change bedsheets 3. Make tea 4. Sip tea and organize my bedroom 5. Drop off laundry/recycling and pick up mail 6. Do dishes and clean kitchen 7. Vacuum 8. GAL Reading and biscuits 9. Figure out class schedule for next semester. 10. Readings for next week/call? Note: pick up a flower pot from the grocery store tomorrow morning to add some life to the apartment.

#If you are reading this I recommend you also buy a cheap pot of flowers #or a bouquet if that's what you can afford #ideally a pot of tulips bc those will come back every year :)#you just place the pot outside after their run for this year is over

“Here is the truth of nostalgia: we don’t feel it for who we were, but who we weren’t. We feel it for all the possibilities that were open to us, but that we didn’t take. Time is like wax, dripping from a candle flame. In the moment, it is molten and falling, with the capability to transform into any shape. Then the moment passes, and the wax hits the table top and solidifies into the shape it will always be. It becomes the past, a solid single record of what happened, still holding in its wild curves and contours the potential of every shape it could have held. It is impossible not to feel a little sad, looking at that bit of wax. That bit of the past. It is impossible not to think of all the wild forms that wax now will never take. The village, glimpsed from a train window, beautiful and impossible and impossibly beautiful on a mountaintop, and you wonder what it would be if you stepped off the train and walked up the trail to its quiet streets and lived there for the rest of your life. All variety of lost opportunity spied from the windows of public transportation, really. It can be overwhelming, this splattered, inert wax recording every turn not taken. ‘What’s the point?’ you ask. ‘Why bother?’ you say. But then you remember — I remember! — that we are even now in another bit of molten wax. We are in a moment that is still falling, still volatile, and we will never be anywhere else. We will always be in that most dangerous, most exciting, most possible time of all: the Now. Where we never can know what shape the next moment will take. Stay tuned next for, well… let’s just find out together, shall we?”

anyone else ever daydream for 6 hours straight and then after ur just like nah let’s scrap that and do it all again but slightly to the left

my brain: *out of breath* Was that good?!

Me in a beret, taking a long draft from a cigarette and leaning back in my director’s chair: once again, from the top, this time with feeling

It’s been a minute. Have a comic

#Lolol #this is accurate sibling talk though #my sister and I talk like this sometimes #when we're not bickering lmao or being annoying

My favorite watch brand is Fossil. My favorite handbag brand is Dooney & Bourke. I like to peruse their collections periodically, because I like more of their designs than I do other brands, but I don't have any desire to own their products- I just like to see how they blend current trends with their styles.

#This is a segment of a longer train of thought #I just realized no one knows I like Dooney & Bourke #so I spoke it out into the world #a tidbit of useless knowledge #Maybe someday I'll start using purses regularly and I'll buy myself one #but for now I love my pockets.

Alhamdulillah

People living in “open-concept” homes learn a truth: the walls were there for a reason.

“In our old house,” said Didonna, a financial analyst, “I’d come home and make dinner and my husband would be watching TV in the other room, and a good portion of the evening we’d be apart.”

She got her togetherness, all right, in a glorious new house in Millbury. Now when she cooks and her husband watches TV, he’s in full view. Relaxing. While she works. “Frankly it’s annoying,” she said. A real estate agent has been called.

“I miss walls,” she said.

Honey, the walls are not the issue.

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

Almost all of these are about variety. Humans need stimulation! We need enrichment! We literally cannot do the same thing every day!

The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!

This is why taking walks/drives and trying new hobbies are good for you! Don’t turn yourself into a sad zoo animal! You need some pumpkins to roll around in your enclosure!
