[hello-delicious-tea]

Made a new friend in the Costco clothing department by both of us looking longingly at the same white shirt with flowers on, remembering we have babies and perhaps more pertinently small boys, deciding not, then deciding to go for it anyway on the grounds that it would be better to have a shirt with wildflowers on it for a moment and stains and wildflowers for an age than a shirt that hides stains but hath no wildflowers

Her baby is one month older than mine

hello, there! i just saw your blog and i'm immediately captivated! i saw an ask where you're also willing to discuss and state your opinions, so i hope it's okay for me to ask what you think too ^_^

this is actually very random, but let's just forget about regions etc, who do you think albedo would be good friends with? i personally think that albedo kazuha and xiao trio would have an interesting dynamic!

i think the three of them would be very awkward in the beginning, but they'd be best friends when they open up to each other! i think that albedo and kazuha would share their interests, albedo probably talking about alchemy and visual arts while kazuha would be talking about his homeland and haikus. xiao's gonna be there like "wtf are these mortals talking about", but he's secretly interested and unconsciously more 'open' to the modern mortal world because of the other two's discussion!

how about you? who do you think that albedo would be good friends with?

i loved your questions and i agree with you in this one :)

albedo likes people who are interesting. xiao has lived for so many years, he has a lot to share and like albedo, he's not human after all. this may lead albedo to feel more comfortable around him. kazuha is calm and has a very interesting past, he's observant just like albedo and there's no way those two wouldn't get along. it would be so nice these three talking about their life and sharing their opinions.

i think someone like zhongli too, i would love to see albedo and zhongli interacting in canon. feel like albedo would be amazed by how much zhongli knows about the world and he wants to learn more about him and the things he will share. geo boys supremacy!

maybe ayaka and kokomi. ayaka is very similar to him (prince and princess lol), ayaka knows how to do a lot of things and she loves arts, just like him. kokomi is so smart and she's a huge fan of albedo, it's cute. they can discuss about books!

now i need to see albedo interacting more with some characters...

When my mind is a mess I let it stand by and focus on what's physical, cleaning and reorganizing the place by divisions, things for study, clothes, etc... then subdivisions, for what weather is this garment? more focus on the five senses and the process, in how you chew and how does it taste and... lots of tea (mint is my favorite in case you blast-off to take me on a date :D), anyway, isn't creativity like a process your brain goes through after a focused working period and naps or sleep?

Oh believe me, I tried putting my mind into my chores - it got to the point I even procratinate using chores.

But I'll admit - thanks to laundry day, I get to cook up more angsts so :D hope it'll be interesting.

And creativity can come in a lot of forms. Maybe the focused/optimal regime of sleep and working period work for most people but I can imagine some struggling to get it if it gets too mundane.

I will admit tho - I get super brain peppy after a good night's sleep so thank you Anon for the tip!

(Iced Green Tea is a good one - I'd recommend it to any tea lover :3c Oh! And Red Bean Matcha too, if your country has those XD)

Единственный человек, который навсегда с тобой - это ТЫ. Если ты сама не сможешь сделать себя счастливой, думаешь кто-то другой будет этим заниматься? Маловероятно, поскольку все люди в большинстве случаев заняты собой. У каждого свои эмоции, чувства, цели и мечты. Иногда они включают в себя других людей, иногда нет. Поэтому так важно понять, принять и полюбить свое одиночество. Некоторые боятся его. Одним становится страшно оставаться с самими собой наедине, а другим становится просто напросто скучно. В этот момент мы стремимся к людям, чтобы рядом с ними почувствовать себя счастливее. Если начать разбираться, то что делает нас счастливыми? Как это понять и чем измерить? Как по мне, так у каждой женщины есть свое собственное определение о том, что она назовёт счастьем. Творческие проекты, материнство, работа, отношения, забота о других, самореализация, мечты, спорт, впечатления и так далее. В общем все, что женской душе будет угодно. Уже определили что же вы сами можете назвать счастьем? Заодно, я вам расскажу о том, что нам говорит на этот счет современная наука. Если кратко, то существует группа ученых (John F. Helliwell, Richard Layard and Jeffrey D. Sachs), которые каждый год измеряют уровень счастья в каждой стране по всему миру. Цель исследования: выяснить какая же страна какое место займет. Исследование 2020 года уже готово и я спешу поделиться с вами его результатами. Свою копию можно скачать на сайте http://worldhappiness.report/

as i get older,

 i kind of just take a step back and look at what has become of this world and its people. i also take a look at myself and realize how much i've changed since a decade ago.

i've still got ways to go but i know the importance of self-development as a muslim and how Allah always wants us to be better and strive for better. i actually think i've been an introvert all my life bc when i think about it, looking back at all the situations i was in, i always preferred smaller group things rather than large groups and i would always feel more at peace when i was alone or with just one or two people.

well, since i became muslim, things haven't changed in that regard. i love being in small groups preferably one to two people MAX. but it doesnt really work that way here, lol.

it's all about big groups and gatherings. the more the merrier. i can't really deal with that and it's so overwhelming, to say the least. i often wonder how anyone from here can ever have alone time to reflect upon themselves. like the word introspects doesn't exist here even though in Islam, the prophet pbuh did a lot of self-reflection and encouraged Muslims do the same...

well, all i can say is Alhamdulillah Allah has allowed me to be an introvert who values quiet time and being alone. people don't make lots of noise but that they ARE noise. noise in every way possible. honestly, the people of the cave were really blessed to live far far far away from the people for that long period of time..

while socializing is natural for a human's wellbeing, i think too much of it definitely brings more harm than good. especially now that the world is only full of quantity and no quality humans.

i mean, it's nice, though. to sometimes experience the culture of the place you are visiting or living in. it opens your eyes to many things and also makes you grateful for a LOT of things.. especially makes you grateful for the things you are given from Allah ... sometimes we take things for granted and until we are in another country or it's taken away from us, we then realize the true value of something...how cliche..but such is the human being... hasty, ungrateful and feeling entitled.

i need some tea.
