pax optima rerum
"peace is the greatest good."
there's something so, so beautiful and so, so underrated about the simple things in life. i stayed home from school today. it was a rainy autumn day and we made hot tea and laughed over the wordle. my mom and i went on a walk and we picked up red and orange leaves from the ground and said hi to little bugs and walked by our new house that's still under construction. i'm sitting on the couch now trying to catch up with homework (re: procrastinating a little) while she cooks dinner.
on a side note, there's only 99 days till 2025. i've been meaning to start this new challenge to be productive but i never got around to it. i'm trying not to berate myself over not having been hyper-productive even though i was kinda sick. maybe we should shift the focus from achievements and checked-off goals to little victories or daily bits and pieces of happiness...
