Love letter to my bus route and the drivers that, despite their best, most concerted efforts, always end up a few minutes late to my stops, no matter where on the route they are.

They are trying their best and also their tardiness is welcome and appreciated, as I am somehow chronically late to the bus stop that is 5 feet (exaggeration) from my apartment and without them I would be late to class every day and my professor would dislike me and I would be sad.

#public transit #public transport system #my love ❤️ 😍#i appreciate you greatly #if I did a gratitude journal you would fill every page #but sadly i do not and your love must remain in my mind unattended

A diary entry (02/07/22)

Today I woke up and cried. I thought there wasn't gonna be someone as perfect as him. But Sara said there's always someone perfect for us. And in the end, I don't regret anything. As I said to him, "thank you for the experience" . He said: "thank you for making me feel love again" . In the end, I see many benefits, meaning things that can make me grow as a person. And I thank him for that. I saw how much I'm ready to give to someone. How much I can give. How attached to someone I can be. How obssessed. How I can love a person even without having seen them. How much I can impact someone's life, without knowing it. How I can make someone feel loved. How much I can love. How I desperately want someone's attention sometimes. How much happiness it gives me.

Is that what love is like?

little nice things of the day:

it snowed this morning (the first proper snow of the year!) and i live right next to a park, so i had an amazing view from my window and even got to go out for the world's shortest walk in the snow, despite my chronic illness continuing to fuck me over

i've got these pink purple & blue fairylights that i've had for a while, but i've now started to keep them lit throughout the day instead of saving them for special occasions, which makes my room like 389% cosier. bisexual lighting!

woke up with a pretty bad cold, but then i got sudafed from the supermarket and it actually worked? my sinuses are freeeeee

#gratitude journals or whatever arent really my thing so this is as close as itll get for me #i love screaming into the void on tumblr dot com #anyway this is just a reminder to myself to appreciate the little things i guess #theres plenty of shitty stuff in my life rn that i cant really change so i need to take small joys where i can get them #gonna order more of those fairylights to make my room even more bisexual #i got them from asda on a whim and they were really cheap so i'll just add some more to my next grocery order #its past midnight now so technically the day is over but to me its not over until i go to bed

#today was a good day. I appreciated the extra hour of sleep. thanks day light savings #i stayed up late last night and watched the time change. i love when i have the luxury to stay to late.#because of the time change i didn't sleep in too long. made a really good brunch. cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom.#washed my hair. journalled. found my old gratitude journal from 7 years ago and felt moved by the things i recorded.#reviewed my notes for work and rewrote them in a nice notebook bc i like the feel of being a nerd. writing pretty notes calms me.#did my budget for the month.#planning what to have for dinner now. going to put on a movie. i feel like this was the most productive nourishing Sunday I've had in ages #personal #repeating to myself that i can only do my best and my best will differ daily and my best is enough. i am enough.

I genuinely can't remember if things have ever been this bad. I don't know if I can recover, I don't even know if I care to. Things just... have been an ongoing nightmare for over a year and doctors aren't listening to me and they're making it seem like the health complications that's made me the most suicidal I've been in a long time if not ever isn't a big deal. I can't stand this shit.

#idk i just #i've sabotaged nearly all of my friendships out of fear and misunderstandings #i've hurt people out of spite and i've been wanting nothing more than to just disappear #i long to die every single day and any time i try to tell my mum that i feel like shit she isn't really hearing me out #i love her and her heart is in the right and she's trying to help but this isn't the type of help i need #this isn't something i can improve on with positive thinking and gratitude journals #i want to die. i want to die every single day. whenever i take any of my meds i just look at the case and just... i could do it #i have something like 200 sleeping pills i discontinued after they werent working anymore but had just refilled. i have several odd old meds #among those are maybe 3 or 4 different antidepressants/antipsychotics plus a bunch of other things #it takes having to actively step away when i have to refill my weekly pill box from just dumping everything in that case into my mouth #i just. idk #i really don't know anymore #i don't think i even want to bother trying to come back from this. i've been begging the doctors and specialists i've been going to help me #and yet they just. give me a sorta :/ look and send me home and hope it resolves itself or that the meds that haven't helped suddenly will #i can't take it anymore #i just don't see a way out of this situation alive #this is just so fucking stupid #whatever yk? anyway gonna tag this so uh. sorry for the tone shift.#cw: suicide #cw: medical #cw: mental health #cw: gender dysphoria #nqp

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

Fuck starting a skin care regime to prevent aging and hell yeah for starting a skin care regime to feel better about yourself, have a way to wake up at the beginning of the day, wind down at the end of the day, or for addressing skin issues such as eczema

#i have a skin care routine that i love #you know why i do it?#it helps with my eczema #i get really bad flakey spots on my face that are inchy and res #and skin care helps keep it away #it also provides me a slow start to the morning #i get to listen to my podcast and relax #and its a nice way to wind down at night #i use it to gratitude journal #meditate #learn a language #and also its boosted my confidence so much

A self love night time routine 🌙🧸🪞🤍✨

Your night time routine is all about dedicating time to yourself. Your routine should be tailored to what makes YOU feel relaxed, loved, and cared for. You can add or modify any of these steps to make it perfect for you.

Cleanse & skin care routine. This isn’t just about hygiene. Cleansing your skin can also cleanse the day's stresses away. Remove makeup (if you wear it). Use a gentle cleanser. Apply toner, serums, or treatments if you use them. Moisturize to keep your skin hydrated.

Spend a few minutes decluttering and organizing so you can go to sleep with a clear mind.

Prepare for tomorrow. Pick out your clothes, prepare your lunch and create your to do list so you wake up with a plan of action.

Set aside electronics, especially those that might interrupt your relaxation (phones, laptops). Put them on the other side of the room, or another room to avoid distractions.

Spend a few minutes journaling or meditating on your day. Write down three things you're grateful for as well as your achievements or progress.

Make a herbal tea or warm milk. Stay away from caffeine, they will interfere with your sleep.

If you enjoy baths, now might be the time to have one with calming salts or essential oils. If you prefer showers, use this time to enjoy the sensation of the water, rather than rushing through it.

Spend a few minutes practicing deep breathing, grounding exercises, or meditation to calm your mind.

Choose a book, avoid anything too stimulating or stress inducing.

Stand in front of a mirror and speak kind words to yourself. Use positive affirmations that resonate with you, like “I am worthy of love and happiness” or “I did my best today, and that's enough.”

Dress in comfortable nightwear, ensuring your sleeping environment is cozy. This could be clean sheets and a comfortable pillow.

Dim the lights, play calming music or nature sounds, or use an essential oil diffuser with lavender or chamomile.

Before closing your eyes to sleep, visualize a peaceful scene or a memory that makes you happy.

As you lie in bed, silently express gratitude for the day. Set a positive intention for the next day.

Get full night's sleep. Make sure you’re getting 7-9 hours depending on your personal needs.

healthy habits i love :)

introduction:

hi loves! i wanted to share some healthy habits that i really enjoy for my body and my mind. these are things that make me feel better and work with my life :)

physical health:

staying active. i have practice for 2 hours on weekdays and like to do home workouts using small dumbells or just pilates on weekends.

stretching. stretching is so important to prevent injuries, improve mobility and balance.

eating 3 meals a day w/ fruits and vegtables.

taking vitamins. i have anemia so i've been taking iron tablets everyday w breakfast to help.

drinking enough water. i always track how much water i have- i usually drink a whole water bottle at school, 70ish% of one at practice, and more water at home.

having a skincare routine.

having a haircare routine & learning to style my hair.

at-home face massage. theyre just really relaxing

mentality/mental:

planning for the future. i like to think about what i'm doing after graduating high school (college) and how i'm going to get into my dream college. i make a plan to follow.

avoiding drama. honestly there's not much drama at my school to begin with, but either way i just avoid talking shit about people

reading! i read every night and when i finish my schoolwork and have nothing to do. it's relaxing

learning about current world events. i also like to stay up to date on what's going on in the world. it can be really sad but i think it’s important to be aware of what happens.

praying. i pray every night and i find it really peaceful and a way to be grateful by thanking God for all sorts of things in my life. sometimes i'll also just pray if i'm anxious, before a water polo game, or really whenever i feel like i should.

gratitude & reflection. i like to reflect on how i'm acting and also remind myself of everything to be grateful for. sometimes really small moments, like when i was getting my braces tightened i thought about how i'm lucky to even get to have dental work done.

journalling. i have a diary i write in every night which is just for fun, and then a spare binder w some lose paper where i vent when i'm feeling bad.

having hobbies. i like to keep myself busy so i have a lot of things i like to do at home like writing, reading, photography, sewing.

having a clean space. i keep my room clean (nothing on the floor, everything where it needs to be) and cleaning my backpack just so everything is easy to find and get.

beginning:

the key to growing is literally just doing small things everyday. overnight change is never attainable. if you want to add different habits/change something you need to make small, attainable, adjustments everyday.

do the best with what you have. this is the biggest point. there are certain things you might not be able to do because of your circumstances, so just do the best with what you have right now.

self respect. and of course, healthy self improvement is based in loving yourself and wanting to be better for the sake of improving your life. this is a whole journey within itself.

Winter Break Goals/Habits/Things to Begin

So, my winter break begins Saturday officially, even tho I finish all my schoolwork by tomorrow/Thursday. I figured to keep me on track with my goal of being a better me in 2024, I'd make a list of some things I'd like to incorporate into my days during my 6 week long winter break! Not everything will be accomplished, but I'm going to try my hardest.

🩷 My Winter Break List 🩷

consistent workout routine 3-5 days a week

try out a pilates class (local studio)

study japanese/spanish every day (create a new routine for studying either)

consistent sleep schedule (10pm - 6am)

daily afternoon hot girl walks (30+ minutes)

daily gratitude journaling

answer a journal prompt daily

read every day, 1 chapter of a book minimum

pick up a hobby and practice it several times a week (drawing, crochet, etc)

daily morning and night skincare

daily meditation (in the morning)

educate myself on healthy financial habits

drink electrolytes daily

watch one episode of a TV show minimum (NOT American Dad - thats my comfort sho)

clean bedroom and do laundry often, weekly at worst

get ready for the day, every day (do my hair, wear clothes I DIDNT sleep in, maybe some light makeup)

eat breakfast every day

meet my protein goal daily

track all my habits daily

it seems like a lot, yes, but it is completely doable as some of these habits take 10 minutes or less and I have 24 hours in a day to fill up. I get bored very easy si if I don't set goals, I'll end up staying in bed on my phone all day long and that's not healthy or productive whatsoever. I'll include these in my daily challenge updates too to keep myself accountable!!

here's to trying ro be a better me!

til next time lovelies 🩷

i love my therapist but i hate being in therapy. 10 minutes before my appointment, i'm in a meeting with my boss - we discuss my artistic choices; my boss recommends i artistically choose less. 10 minutes after therapy, i wash my hair and think about everything that was said, and then i have to switch it off, like a lamp, and go back to work again.

i was on a walk the other day and someone had the perfect combination of his cologne and whatever-else. it was almost exactly his scent. i fucking hate that. after all these years, i remember that? i tell my therapist - i feel like a fucking wolf. try telling a middle-aged blonde lady. oh i scented him on the air. i'm 30, and i'm having a panic attack over something that would be a plotline in the omegaverse.

what they don't tell you about mental illness is that if you are lucky enough to survive it into adulthood; it becomes a weird slice of your life. because you do, eventually, have to build a life. i realized in a panic somewhere around 22 - oh. i don't know what i'm fucking doing, because i always assumed i'd just go ahead and die. i didn't die, and i'm grateful for that, and i'm very happy about that choice. but it does mean that i am an adult in an apartment, living with my conditions side-by-side like. oh, that's my roommate, adhd. ignore the glass, bytheway, that's ocd.

so you pick your stupid life up by the scruff of the neck and you're, like glad for it (so much laughter and light and friends you would have never thought possible, when you were in the worst of it). but it feels so strange to be dancing around these odd little microcosms, these patchwork moments of your symptoms. if you have a panic attack at night, you still need to wake up and walk the dog in the morning. if your depression is making everything boring, well, you don't have any sick days left, and a job's not really supposed to be that exciting anyway. your ocd tears out each individual leg hair, and then, an hour later, you sigh, patch up the bloody bits, and go get dinner with friends. and the life is kitten-quiet, mewling and pathetic, but it's also like - it's yours, so you're fond of it.

and it's like - you're real. so you still enjoy pushing the shopping cart really fast and then riding on the back of it down an empty aisle. and you're not, like, so sick anymore that when you accidentally drop a mug you burst into tears (except for the days you do that. which are bad). and no, you're not allowed around certain items anymore. oops! but you've learned to be good about brushing your teeth most days of the week. and yeah sometimes in the middle of the day you have a little freak-out about how fucking unfair it all is, how fucking hard, how other people can just do this without having to fucking hurt the whole time. and then you sigh and force yourself to sit down and fucking journal about it so you can tell the nice middle-aged blonde woman yeah i had a hard day but i practiced grounding. you still sometimes want to burst out of your own skin, but you force yourself to eat kind-of healthy and to take your vitamins. you let yourself chop off all your hair in the sink in a dramatic poetry of control and relief - and you also have developed good hobbies that help you move your body more frequently. you feel helplessly behind, lost in the shuffle - but you also practice gratitude, taking stock of what you have garnered. because you're trying. even if you're never gonna be normal, you have something... close enough.

and the little kitten of your life, this mangy, starlit tigercub, this thing you expected to rot so young: in your arms, it turns itself over, belly-up. exposing this new soft part, all the organs and guts. like it's saying i trust you now. you won't give me up.

#does this even MAKE SENSE!!!!!#writeblr #btw what im trying to express in that first sentence is EXPLICITLY the feeling of logging off therapy to immediately go back to work #like :) haha!
