8: what artistic medium do you use to express your feelings? 

dfgh expressing feelings idk tbh probably pinning stuff to my ‘me’ board on pinterest but uh also through my ocs a lot in headcanons, or just me thinking about them they’re all influenced in some way or another by what i’m feeling or experiencing. 

13: what’s something that made you smile today?

my friend’s video of her new puppy being really confused by a frozen berry and thinking its the enemy. absolutely made my day. 

23: what’s your favourite thing to do on lazy days where you have 0 obligations?

lie on my deck in the sun with a book, or my headphones in listening to music or an audiobook. if i have a puzzle, i like doing that and baking.

63: are you fussy about your books and music? do you keep them meticulously organized or kinda leave them be?

my books are organised primarily by height and colour coded and then by series, unless the books are different heights and then height takes precedence. it boils my blood so quickly when books 1 and 2 are different heights.

87: what are some movies you think everyone should watch at least once in their lives?

the swan princess (1994) is an absolute masterpiece far ahead of its time and i’ll die on that hill. but uh also, the prince of egypt, the road to el dorado, lilo and stitch and my guilty pleasure rom com, the proposal.

Hi lovely! Petrach, Orlova, Stevens, Wordsworth❤️

These are the nicest of them all! ♡

Petrarch:I write poems from the first-person narrative of people I don’t know, people I’ve never met or been acquainted with. I write from the perspective of mythological figures, historical figures, characters… 

Orlova:I know the secrets of changing of the seasons, the secrets of saffron and attar-of-roses, the secrets of spice and shadow. And there are other secrets I know… but the best secrets are always veiled in mystery and illusion. 

Stevens:It is necessary to be opinionated, whether or not you choose to air your opinion. It is necessary to tread the waters carefully, like a wood nymph navigating her sister’s seas. It is necessary to be outside for the first snow of the winter, when it feels fresh and new and eternal. It is necessary to read poetry that feels like honey and syrup in the summers. It is necessary to extend the hand of goodwill but also to know when to retract it, when the olive leaves fall off the branch. It is necessary... to be merciful and kind, but to also know when to save yourself.

Wordsworth:To me, when they’re used well and meaningfully, when they aren’t empty or lacklustre, they mean everything.

Thank you lovely ♡

Will you do fragrances for me too? 🍒

Thank you for stopping by, Nashaly! I’m going to suggest fragrances that hint of the lush landscapes of the Mediterranean and the tropics, because that’s what your blog reminds me of. The brooding taste of blood orange, the flower Solomon’s seal (such a beautiful name), the honeyed fragrance of frangipani, and sweet-and-sour smell of tamarind.
