me getting my house ready for my long distance bf’s visit
Hey you. You know you should be doing The Thing. I don't want to do The Thing, either. But we can sit down and do it for 2 minutes together. Then we can do it for 5 minutes. Then 10. And so on and so forth until it is done. I'll be coming back to reiterate this.
To whoever needs to hear it: it does not have to be perfect. It does not have to be world altering. It just needs to be done. And I'll sit with you while you do The Thing.
Now go. Stop scrolling. Go work on The Thing. I'll be back to check on you and cheer us both on.

(this post was written several days in retrospect)
Birthday time!
My siblings turned 17. this year and every time I think about that I am reminded of my own mortality.
Things I did this day:
celebrated my siblings' birthday
spent time with family
helped attend guests
Hours slept: ~6hrs Screentime: ~7hrs 15mins Steps taken: ~1.500
I saw god yesterday
She came to me in a
dream, kissed me on the head
And whispered everything
will be alright my child
for those of you who don't know "we should write a paper on this" is equivalent to "we should start a band" in academia
I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.

The fact that all of the foreign Captive Prince editions have literally the prettiest covers and we’re stuck with this basic shit annoys me to no end
English:
Japanese: (they have ILLUSTRATIONS. Do you understand???😭😭😭 gonna go learn Japanese)
Taiwanese:
Polish: I—This is everything. Like, everything.
(The first cover is literally one of the best arts of Capri I’ve ever seen)
Dear Berkley books,
This is a crime, one i will not stand for. So,
TAKE MY FUCKING MONEY AND GIVE ME CAPTIVE PRINCE, ILLUSTRATED, WITH THESE COVERS

A very, very eventful day! A friend of mine is staying with me for a few weeks to cut down on commuting costs while she's attending a block course at our university and the whole day revolved around getting things settled and prepared for that.
I didn't get anything productive done because of that but it still felt like a very successful day!
Getting jump scared by the Mollymauk/Lucien book just sitting between Sally Rooneys at the book shop also added some spice to the day.
Positive things I did today:
spend time with friends
went for a walk
Hours slept: ~7hrs 30mins Screentime: ~3hrs Steps taken: ~13.800
