You literally have to take this one wild and precious life and wrangle it into something that’s worth waking up every day for

[flowerais-deactivated20211031]

a big part of being happy is being excited. be excited for everything - making a cup of tea, decorating your future apartment, seeing a friend again, falling in love unexpectedly, the next episode of a show you like, finishing something stressful, buying something you’ve been saving up for, a new album, sunsets, traveling, road trips, and the feeling of going to bed after a long day. think of something to be excited about and daydream about it often when you’re sad.

When everything gets too overwhelming, I always imagine how peaceful it would be to lie down in a flowerbed right now. The bright blue sky above, flowers in all possible colours around you taking away your anxious thoughts with their soft scents. You can hear the birds singing and feel a gentle breeze caressing your skin. The sun warms you and you can just lie there as long as you need.🪻🌻🌹🌺🌿🌱

My favourite rule is never trust anything you feel about your life after 9pm

This is and always will be one of the most important things to keep in mind. Kept me out of late night anxiety spirals so many nights, so please, be kind to yourself and don't listen to your evil gremlin thoughts when it's late. 🌿

Don't you think it's fascinating how everybody can agree that autumn is special?

No matter where you go, you are always met with this air of something magical happening. We can see it everywhere and suddenly the idea of witches, ghosts, and magic isn't all that unrealistic anymore. Maybe it is because we intently look at nature in awe. Maybe it is because when the days get shorter and it gets colder, we look for the comfort of warmth in the leaves that take on the colours of fire. Maybe it is because we start to turn inwards again, reflect what we think we know. But maybe there just simply is magic in the autumn air and the golden sunlight.

FIY, as the local cottage witch, I have decided to side with the gnomes in the war against the knights. If the wizards refuse to take a side, the witches will protect the gnomes!

Feel it! You are supposed to feel!!! Every little thing!! What does it mean to be human if not to feel every emotion imaginable?!! Throw your heart out there and see what happens!!! And yes, it will hurt, but it will also experience so many wonderful things and you'll feel so alive!!! Because to live is go feel!!

So go and feel every emotion you can find!!!!!

The Garden in my Mind🌻

Come, visit me in the garden of my mind. Right now it's winter, so it looks empty, cold, and grey. But underneath the frost, I have planted flower bulbs. So when spring arrives in my garden, all the colours will make the monotonous grey fade, like nightfall fades at the sight of sunrise.

Flowers will bloom in every colour, shape, and form imaginable - and the scent will be so sweet you might think you've stepped into a bakery. There will be sunflowers, always guiding us towards warmth and light. Dandelions - thriving in the most unconventional of places - will greet us at every corner. Roses with soft petals but sharp thorns will be a reminder that we can be soft while protecting ourselves at the same time. Lilac will attract insects and invite nature to dwell in my garden. And once our tour is over, lavender will gently lull you to sleep. I hope when you wake up, you'll sometimes think of that time - and come to visit me in the garden of my mind again.

Sometimes I feel like I have too much love to give. Like I would drown the people I want to see safe in it. But I am so tired. I am so tired of carrying all this love around with nobody who wants to have it.

There is this quote that goes along the lines of "I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it -- to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once." I feel like I am on the other end of this. I would love to shower somebody in my love, but whenever I rip my ribcage open and lay my heart out, people leave, and my heart lies on the counter, shrivelled up and abandoned. Just once I would like to know how it feels to give love to someone who wants to stay for it, not run away. Not to reach for a hand that tries to escape my touch.

You know what the worst pain is?

Having too much love to give. So you set out your heart on a table in front of someone, and they don't even bother to break it, it just sits there, abandoned.
