my tarot cards repeatedly telling me to sit with myself and also do the things i've been procrastinating doing for forever instead of constantly drowning everything out with media consumption:
the one where she lives her best life - day in my life in my f.r.i.e.n.d.s. dr
6:45am: be given a heart attack by my alarm clock blaring the radio to wake me up. inevitably hit snooze and cuddle back up with my dog, daisy, who also doesn't want to get up.
6:55am: drag myself out of bed and throw on my “west village bum” outfit (aka a matching sweatsuit) to take daisy for a short little walk around the block to the park by my building
7:15am: feed daisy and get ready for work! best believe i'm jumping between npr and my favorite pop radio station as i do my makeup and put on my outfit for the day – always with a touch of pink.
7:35am: take daisy out to the park one more time before bringing her back up to my apartment. she always insists on stopping at monica and rach's because monica always gives her something – sadly today isn't a bacon day, but daisy is happy with her baby carrot.
7:45am: return to monica & rach's for coffee and a little brekkie. monica is trialing her veggie scramble so i traded her a chocolate chip muffin for a plate. ross, joey, and chandler are over, too. ross and i bicker, per usual. chandler and i quip off each other, also per usual. what isn't usual, is that i swear i catch him staring at me a few times out of the corner of my eye.
8:15am: hop on the 1 train to midtown with chandler 'cause his work is a couple blocks from mine.
8:35am: time to clock into barbie world!! i have meetings galore today, but they're all for exciting projects! gotta finalize packaging specs for this year's holiday doll, i have a storyboard meeting for a commercial for the cali girl line, brainstorm meeting with my senior designer – and that's just before lunch!
1:50pm: i got a call from chandler inviting me out for a quick lunch. he's been doing this a lot more recently, but i think it's just because the breaks in our meetings seem to line up really well. we grab a quick dollar slice and another coffee before it's back to the grind!
5:30pm: work day is over!! i become a human sardine with the rest of manhattan and take the 1 back to the west village. i take daisy for a quick walk to the park to play and help her burn off some energy.
6:30pm: i meet the gang at central perk to watch phoebe perform! and man…it was definitely a performance!
6:45pm: chinese takeout night at the girls! i change into comfy clothes and bring daisy down to the apartment and give her her dinner, and i watch joey like a hawk as he unpacks the bag because last time he snuck himself one of my crab rangoons and i will not have a repeat of that. daisy is in heaven because everyone is giving her unlimited attention, and she has her biggest begging eyes on full display. joey is a baby and not-so-subtly gives her pieces of his sesame chicken. i let it slide because he didn't take one of my rangoons.
7:45pm: take daisy for a nice, long walk in a loop where we hit washington square and union square to make sure she isn't a menace for the rest of the night.
8:30pm: shower & wind down! i turn on the tv as background noise and snuggle onto the couch with daisy and my sketch binder. i've got a design meeting in a few days i need to have ample ideas for consideration so i sketch and shade away.
9:45pm: daisy and i migrate to the bed. i read my book and sip my peppermint tea until i finally feel sleepy.
I really want to watch the new supergirl movie but I’ve never watched any other dc sequel (expect for wonder woman). Do I need to watch anything to understand the story?

music vers (addison rae’s songs): here it is. calm vers: here it is.
i’m here to present you a little sweet treat: an ultimate void state subliminal i originally made purely for myself, but ultimately decided to share with you.
i’ve already mentioned being a submaker back in 2024 in my introduction post and, i must say, quite a successful one. during june through january i reached 3,500+ followers and collected endless success stories that i still receive to this day, so i’m a certified good submaker ig lol. i’m kitting, of course. but since my subliminals are safe and can be used by anyone, i might actually be good enough.
this is essentially a void state subliminal with a little extra for lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, manifesting, shifting and more. it’s 18:18 long. long. i know. but if you can’t listen it fully, you can listen to just around 6 minutes, since the longest layer (the second one) repeats 3 times.
i crafted this subliminal with my best formula from 2024: the formula is called DMD (dear manipulative diary). it consists of three layers: the first repeats “i am” on a loop, the second is a full set of affirmations structured around my BS1 (blessing spell 1) formula, and the third is a “dear diary” style affirmation that weaves everything together in diary entry form, using manipulative constructions targeting the subconscious from both “i” and “you” angles. each layer features different voice and speed. on top of that, it’s layered with powerful subliminal boosters by absolute power subliminals (i & ii) and morphic fields with a 432hz “attract your highest self” meditation sound as the cherry on top. this formula has brought many results for a lot of people, so i hope it does the same for you and me this time. i hope you enjoy it! love ya!! xox 💋💋💋
