idk who needs to hear this today, but don't go lurking on ex friends and partners. nothing you see or read will make you feel better there. all you're doing is hurting your own feelings. leave them in the past and do your best to move on with your own life, to make what you have now happier rather than dwelling on things that used to be (:

you are not the exception to your rules and reasonings. no baseless buts or iffy ifs, okay? you are equally deserving of all your leniency and patience and love and kindness as the people you give them to on a daily basis. you're not unique in that sense; in your humanity and inherent worth and value. treat others the way you want to be treated, yes, but in turn treat yourself the way you treat others

it’s okay if you don’t want to shoot for the stars. the ground is just as good and it’s sturdy, ready for you to plant your roots and grow comfortably. you don’t need big, crazy aspirations to live a happy life or to be admirable!

you know one of my favorite things about humanity? the way people pick up on each other’s habits and ways of speaking. i see it in every facet of my own life and it never ceases to make me feel overwhelmingly fond

it’s in the way that my dad has started to look at me every time something crazy or funny happens in whatever we’re watching because i always do the very same thing to gauge his reaction or share that moment with him

and the way i’ve caught my own giggles becoming more and more hysterical  sounding in an unintentional mimic of one of my favorite streamers, the way i’ve begun to go “whAT” in a similar way to them

and how my dear friends have begun to pepper in ‘<33′ and ‘0:’ into our daily conversations after i’ve been doing so for a long time

and with each text i end in ‘xx’, a habit picked up from an ex of mine

we absorb bits and pieces of the world around us into ourselves without ever even realizing or trying to and i find that to be very beautiful and wholesome. we are the best parts of our favorite things (:

9, 14, and 49 for the ask meme (:

9. What sounds or scents calm you down?

So a dear friend of mine gave me handmade smelling salts with peppermint in them; I didn't know you just wanted it towards you though so instead I just stuck my nose in and INHALED. The peppermint completely cleared out my brain of all thoughts, it's a wonderful way to calm down.

Vanilla also helps me calm down, and now since COVID started the smell of alcoholized hand sanitizer helps my brain calm down too.

14. What are some places you feel most at home?

The forest, and libraries, and sitting in the middle of a river, and under tables that have blankets or tablecloths draping off of them; there's nothing like being totally surrounded. I know snug spaces freak out some people like my girlfriend @a-magical-knight, but I love them, they feel so safe.

49. What's your favorite thing to do when it's raining?

Go walking in it! The heavier the better, I adore just wandering and splashing in puddles and writing down little description stuff because the world becomes so much softer and fuzzier in the rain and it creates magic. If my legs are in too much pain for that, snuggling with my girlfriend as close to the window as possible wrapped in blankets is a super close second.
