I want my home to be filled with the things that make me who i am ...

An open kitchen with windows to let the sunlight and breeze in,

A small dinning table with fresh flowers on it,

A place to put my mail and hang my keys by the front door,

A small comfortable sofa and a centre table ,

A medium sized balcony with a swing and cute plants ,

A cozy bedroom , with an attached bathroom that has the best shower and a bathtub...

A home office/study , with a wooden desk , a comfy chair , a wall in it with all my degrees on it ...

Cute photos everywhere in my living room ...

Kitchen filled with my fav food supplies, and cute mugs, plates and silverware...

And most important my home has books everywhere , in every room ..

A small corner with a record player and a place to display/ store the vinyl records of my fav albums ..

The term “Papa ki pari” has been dragged through the mud by our people, even though daughters who truly have fathers who love them unconditionally and are willing to fulfill every wish of theirs are so rare in India. Yet when women have that kind of love, they are ridiculed for being dependent on a man. Like— “That's my father, and I am his daughter, his child. Of course, he will love me.’ How is that funny to you all? Why mock women who have loving fathers?

If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).

[westiec]

5% is a long time for some things and the idea of actually celebrating my efforts for that long is kinda blowing my mind. hm.

[evolutionsbedingt]

@bbcphile From a basking professional:

accomplish the task (or a milestone within)

say that out loud

text a friend (or three) about it

exhale deeply and consciously let go of the tension

move elsewhere (sat at your desk? go and sit on the couch. finished in the kitchen? go to any other room. not yet up for moving? change the background music/noise you had on.)

bathroom break?

grab a snack?

Look at your accomplished task from a distance and feel smug about it

no seriously, if you don't feel like you're embodying the smug cat meme try getting a little more physical or temporal distance, or a friend-shaped reality check, and then look at it again

do One (1) small task your brain kept pestering you about while you were Accomplishing The Thing

also feel smug about that because you totally beat your brain about letting you do The Thing first and now you've completed two (2!!) tasks

depending on how long Accomplishing The Thing took you may now move on to your next Thing OR continue basking to reach the 5% of time invested:

find a comfortable place to be and do a spoon-refilling activity: take a nap, scroll tumblr, read fanfic, write fanfic, gush about blorbos, stare out of the open window with the cool evening breeze brushing over your skin as gentle as a loving caress and drink the Tasty Beverage of your choice (specific example is specific, but iykyk), etc pp

remember you accomplished The Thing and are now Basking.

you are but a large predator enjoying the fruits of its labour and recharging after the successful hunt, no need to go charging off after the next prey just yet

all that Fun Stuff you thought you'd rather be doing while you were busy with The Thing? Do it now.

(well, maybe not all at once, we're still basking in our accomplishment after all and moving erratically would defeat the purpose)

perceive The Accomplished Thing in passing and think 'ha, I did it, I got you, I won!' I'll leave it up to you whether you'll use your villain or your hero voice

repeat until the next Thing is due

integrate normal, life preserving measures such as making food or sleeping as needed

As much as I wanted it to be you, you really showed me how much you didn't want it to be me, and I need to accept it.

i‘m a ghost, i really feel like i am

hardly anyone sees me and if they do, it’s only for a short time

i‘ll freeze underneath my blanket when silent tears fall down my face

a full room of people and i‘m alone no matter how long i‘m screaming for anyone to hear me

people will look through me instead of inside me

i‘m a ghost in world full of living

Fuck hiding your femininity in STEM. Your sharp eyeliner shows exactly how precise your movements are when dissecting. Your red lipstick is a political statement. Your nails are a sign of how much strength you hold in your fingertips. Your glittery eyeshadow reflects the intelligence that shines from within.
