times when time is fake

1. the first hour or so after waking up from an afternoon nap

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

General Wellness Check

When was the last time you ate or drank something? If it’s been a while (my self-standards are 5-6 hours for food and 1-2 hours for water), please make an effort to get some.

When was the last time you moved? If you’ve been in one position for a while, I suggest perhaps walking around the room a little, moving to a different spot, adjusting the way you’re sitting, or even just stretching your arms.

Are you able to get some fresh air? Is it safe and viable for you to open a window a little or step outside for a moment? If not, may I suggest lighting a nicely scented candle?

How’s your hygiene? If it’s been longer than you’d like, please make a commitment to take care of it soon!

When was the last time you spoke with someone you care about? Consider reaching out to them, and letting them know they’re in your thoughts.

Have you been interacting with things that are damaging to your mental well-being? If you are, please stop! Purposefully interacting with things that cause you emotional or physical distress is incredibly unhealthy, and a form of self-harm.

Do you need to take your medication? If so, please take it.

Are you holding tension in your jaw and shoulders? Relax it.

Remember that you are important. You have infinite value, simply because you exist. I’m grateful to have you here on this planet with me. You deserve to take care of yourself. You deserve to be happy.

this!! combined with the buildup of her vocals to this line starting from “break free and leave us in ruins” ??? it’s just so much

“gain the weight of you then lose it believe me I could do it” makes me want to rip my heart clean out of my chest that’s literally one of her most heartbreaking lyrics

soft reminder that we don’t know what awaits us next year. it’s okay to be afraid. it’s okay to be hopeful. it’s okay to be uncertain, or upset, or tired. it’s okay. this year has demanded a lot. we can acknowledge it was stressful while still having hope for something better.

WE COULD CALL IT EVEN YOU COULD CALL ME BABE FOR THE WEEKEND TIS THE DAMN SEASON WRITE THIS DOWN IM STAYING AT MY PARENTS HOUSE AND THE ROAD NOT TAKEN LOOKS REAL GOOD NOW

i’ve been thinking and it’s really unfair how you have to go through the ~meeting people~ and ~getting to know people~ phases to make friends. i just want someone to randomly appear in my life fully equipped with years of inside jokes and trust who already knows my favorite things and communication style and whatnot
