Honey, mushroom, candle :)
🍯 Honey: What is one thing you like about yourself?
i think i like that on my birthday, unfailingly, it’s always raining. or else if it’s not raining, there’s water. my birthday is in the middle of the dry season. i think it was on my 22nd or 23rd bday that we went to the beach, and it didn’t rain but there were storm clouds in the distance, and the water was good. i mean that technically isn’t about me, i guess, but i like to think about that for myself
i also like that i can still draw even though i go for several months or even an entire year not drawing anything. just recently, bored at work, i drew a huge tree in a sea of clouds on a scratch paper and i did still have it in me. i also draw faces from time to time whenever i can remember that i can draw faces
🍄 Mushroom: What is a quote you find comfort in?
this really isn’t a quote, but almost every year-- almost every January even-- i always go back to mary oliver’s poem “in blackwater woods.” especially the last lines. it’s not so much as i go back as i encounter the poem, like some kind of gentle yearly reminder. i’m not sure “comfort” is the word i’ve come to associate with it, but... it makes me calm. in my head i have the idea that i could let go, and maybe i do for a while-- which doesn’t last lmao
🕯️ Candle: What is something you can’t go to bed without?
at least one pillow. yeah, that’s it for me. i don’t have my own room
