Sundove - POSITIVITY

°˖✧*•  Shop, Patreon *•. ✧˖°`

Dating someone who still respects you when they’re upset is VERY important.

there’s comfort in the grasses and trees. nothing is ever as good on the heart as the way the winds and flowers are. every day the dirt is calling, this is home. this is home. this is home. don’t be afraid to get dirty.

things that make people feel loved:

making them a playlist

baking them cookies

giving them flowers

creating art for them

random reminders that they are loved

writing them a poem

complimenting them on their talents

asking how their day was

sending them links to things you think they will like

random hugs

“This made me think of you”

you will make it out alive. you will have done it. that future version of you exists. a happy one, one that looks back at you and is so glad you did not give up.

in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot

a list of soothing things on the internet that i haven’t seen on other self-care posts yet

note: links with autoplaying sound are marked with italics.

zoomable version of xkcd #1110 “click and drag”: giant explorable black-and-white landscape filled with countless little details and treasures. (note: the first three panels disappear after you start clicking and dragging.)

keaton henson’s “procrastinate” page: click on different parts of the image to activate different sound effects and build a quiet lil song. all of the sounds are things like acoustic strings and humming and droning noises that layer together really beautifully.

bob ross’ “the joy of painting”: there are hundreds of full episodes on youtube (not all from this channel) and they’re all amazing. honestly, you don’t even need sound on the videos–you can just mute them, turn on some peaceful music, and watch a painting happen.

the colour my series: 5 simple flash games (or, more accurately, 4 games and 1 semi-interactive animation) about bringing love, hope, and color to a black and white dystopia. the third game contains horror and multiple jump scares, but the rest of the series is very optimistic, gentle, and loving. the tvtropes page (which i linked to) has links to and more detailed descriptions of each installment.

the nicest place on the internet: just a bunch of videos of people giving you a hug through their cameras while a lullaby plays in the background. it sounds cheesy but i find it weirdly comforting.

time lapse videos: the youtube playlist i linked to there has some really good ones, but you can search for others as well.

do nothing for 2 minutes: exactly what it says on the tin. just sit there, listening to the ocean, not touching your computer, for 2 entire minutes. there’s no punishment for stopping before the 2 minutes are up–the timer will just reset–but i definitely recommend waiting the whole time to really clear your head.

the thoughts room: type all of your thoughts, worries, and frustrations into the night sky, and watch them light up stars before falling away.
