I love buying poetry books second hand because you get to see all of the dog eared pages and poems with stars beside them, all the poems that resonated with people :)

50 things that make me happy today (8-21-23)

My quilt

McDonald's iced coffee

Vanilla and other sweet scents

When people wanna talk to you and are nice in public. I love talking to ppl

When cashiers make conversation

When you ARE a cashier and the customers make conversation

Waking up and walking through my house to the kitchen. So thankful to be able to live here with my family

My noise machine and the rain sounds

My stuffed animals

The fact that I have so much jewelry making supplies hanging around. I can repair my own stuff and I recently extended my purse chain with some other chain I have laying around

My doodles, the fact that I started making art again after years of not doing so

The beautiful area I live in <3

When you eat healthy food and it feels satisfying

When healthy coping skills work

Seeing my brother thrive in school and happy with his friends

My $5 disco ball and how the sun bounces off it

Antiquing

People who are understanding and kind

When you catch a cute guy looking at you and you go a lil delulu

Tumblr, Pinterest, Instagram, Spotify, reddit. Trying not to be on my phone as much but having distractions can be helpful when you're just trying to survive sometimes

Card games with my mom

When you naturally wake up a bit earlier than usual

My bedside table lamp that's shaped like a mushroom

Putting together outfits that make me feel good

Storytelling. Listening to stories, storytelling events and meets, all the storytelling

When you go on a walk with a friend and you're both out of breath so you guys both feel less embarrassed about being out of shape

Sales and clearance racks

Feeling prepared and put together

My go to default at home outfit. (Mom jeans, baggy tee, socks and my foam sandals)

How my grandmother decorates her house for every season and holiday

How she continues doing things for others despite her cancer

Therapy

When people you don't know very well remember your name

When people are happy that you remember THEIR name

Toasted English muffins with butter

Hot topic clearance jewelry

My dyed hair (wine colored 🍷)

Planning my days and adding goals, no matter how small

Completing said goals

E.l.f. big mood mascara

Too faced lip plumper

Going on walks by the river

Jeans and sneakers combo

Old couples that are still very much in love

Flowers growing by the road, in sidewalk cracks, all the flowers everywhere

Decorating bulletin boards and gridboards

How my plants from years ago continue to grow

The fact that the mailman is always talking into his earpiece about various things. Is he just always talking on the phone? Does he have a lil podcast? The world may never know

Spotify premium and venturing out and discovering new music

Feeling hopeful. And being reminded that no matter how hopeless you feel, it will pass and you will feel whole again

Don't forget how much you've grown

Don't forget how far you've come

Past versions of you would be so proud to see where you are. And if things are really rough, and you're not feeling so proud of your current situation, just try to remember that it is the difficult times that grow endurance. The hard times and pain will be our strength and bring us awareness. You never know when things are going to look up again, hang in there. Things often get better at the most random of times. Continuing forward can feel impossible but I promise it's not. I love you <3
