i actually slept last night (thank you valarian root) and it is absolutely insane to me how impaired i feel when i'm not sleeping well.....like this is a no duh to most people i'm sure but i've had chronic insomnia for 20 years now and i used to be able to miss a night's sleep or only sleep for 2 or 3 hours and still manage to get through the day but now i just.....can't do that

Josie: Welcome back. I smashed your train, killed your fish and fucked your boyfriend.

Melanie: Don't tell me. It was all Ben's idea? Josie: ... Melanie: And then he ultimately betrayed you? Josie: ... Melanie: Nothing to be ashamed of. You've just been Snowpiercered.

I really wanna get an ouroboros tat around my wrist

🌸bawling through my meditation this morning🌸 my intentions were to gain some of the self love i seem to have lost these past few months♡

they’ve been a rollercoaster of love and hardships, and i’m learning to feel deserving of and ‘enough’ for all the love being given so wonderfully and freely✨

learning to accept and work with the things i can’t change, and to take charge of the things i can♉️

it’s not easy after so many years of an unhealthy relationship i barely managed to chew my leg out of where trust was nonexistent, walls built high, tears dammed but ready to flow, one foot always seemingly out the door - although i knew i’d always be back…

but you’re so different♡ you think i’m too good for you♡ and i think you’re too good for me♡

i hope we can meet in the middle soon🌕 we both deserve it☯️

Why Athens is quickly becoming a DIY paradise

““I love the spontaneity of Athens,” says graphic designer Natassa Pappa, sitting in her living space-cum-studio – decorated with elegant typography and unconventional maps – beneath the Acropolis.

“People don’t wait for permission here. There is no system to follow, especially in the creative industries. You can do things that would never be possible in other cities.”

Natassa, 30, studied for her Masters in graphic design at AKV St. Joost in the Netherlands, learning to mix architecture and urbanism. She then developed an app that lets you experience a city by getting lost in it.

Natassa Pappa, the designer behind grassroots arts campaign Reclaim Athens.

So when news coverage of Greece grew increasingly dire, she felt compelled to come home and apply that philosophy to the chaos consuming Athens.

“It was 2013: the height of the crisis and the worst time to come back,” says Natassa, whose energetic demeanour complements her minimalist aesthetic.

“Everybody told me I was crazy but I really believed in what I was doing. People were spending as little time as possible in public spaces because of their bad condition. The area where I used to work was so unsafe that the urban experience had become completely degraded.””
