take your morning back from distraction and phones and planning and worry. wake up and drink water, move slow, brush your teeth, scrape your tongue. prepare your herbs and massage your body with oil. do a breathing exercise then rinse off. leave your phone in the corner. make a simple breakfast and your coffee. chew your food and only do that. when you’re finished, move on with your day. you’ll get more done during this morning moment than you think - maybe an hour of time total. this sounds like pushing productivity but im not, it’s ritual+routine and that makes humans feel really good. try it out for a month and see how nourishing and impactful it is to move with carfeul purpose, just for yourself and no other reason.

No matter how old you are, an empty wrapping paper tube is still fun to bonk someone over the head with.

I’m both pro herbal medicine and pro vaccination because you can treat burns with aloe vera juice and sore throats with lavender infused honey but you can’t rid a country of polio with plants.

Tbh I wonder what Marie kondo says for items that are gifted to you that you disliked but feel bad about throwing it away bc that is a lot of clutter in my room

Hello, friend! I dug through my book because she actually does say something about this!

“…let’s consider this more carefully. Most of these gifts remain unopened or have been used only once. Admit it. They simply don’t suit your taste. The true purpose of a present is to be received. Presents are not “things” but a means to convey someone’s feelings. When viewed from this perspective, you don’t need to feel guilty for parting with a gift. Just thank it for the joy it gave you when you first received it. Of course, it would be ideal if you could use it with joy. But surely the person who gave it to you doesn’t want you to use it out of a sense of obligation, or to put it away without using it, only to feel guilty every time you see it. When you discard or donate it, you do so for the sake of the giver, too.”

Hopefully this answers your question a little bit?

I can’t wait till my sister is older and we can have sleepovers getting high as fuck with our favourite foods watching friends and quoting it back to each other

when does I’m asking for too much become I deserve better

I want to reflect on the year and I think I need to put pen to paper rather than do this, but who cares

I also need to write a letter to the person who has been haunting me and my dreams for the past two years. I think it’s my conscience/insecurities manifesting as this person as they are whom I associate so many of my shortcomings with

I don’t know how I feel about 2018. It made me feel very uncertain and I think my ego is bruised a little. Lots of ups and a few downs but overall I’m on a good trajectory. A long, rough summer turned into a bountiful fall and now, a slow, crisp and clean winter to give me the fresh start I am so longing for

But I’m putting all faith in the universe and my own abilities to smash through what I think of myself and what I *think* I can accomplish and I’m aiming to march into the new year headstrong and ready to finish and start strong- whatever that may be

I watched It’s A Wonderful Life for the first time over the holidays and you know what??

it is truly such a wonderful life I have
