things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

Me? Never.....

me @ any male fictional character with a sharp jawline, tragic backstory, and a soft spot only for his love interest:

I’m never going to be over them getting married

Whatever we do

Try not to think about the fact that this is Beliza’s first Valentines as a married couple

I love how the fandom as a whole has just decided that Bellamy is not dead with zero evidence

ily: i love you

ilysm: i love you so much

owtwdbh: okay well then we dig by hand
