When I slip beneath the quilt and fold into your warmth, I think we are like the pages of a love letter written thirty years ago that some aging god still reads each day and then tucks back into its envelope.

hello everyone!! since I’m not a pro at studying (I just do my best) I thought I would share with you some of my go-to tips to have a better day/week/month/life 😊
wake up early!! this may seem typical but I used to sleep in a lot and when I started waking up earlier I noticed a big change.
clean your face daily! every morning and night clean your face and moisturize. just create a skincare routine and stick to it! also, use a day per week when you have time to relax and put some masks and exfoliate your face and body.
this may seem stupid but dress clothes you like and put on some makeup! but most important when you feel like this is not your day. when we’re feeling bad or a little sad we usually throw on some sweatpants & a sweatshirt and don’t use make up and even though it may seem stupid, if you push yourself to wear your favorite outfit or put a little bit of makeup you will see yourself looking better and this will make you feel better during the day (I promise)!!!
eat breakfast! brain food guys!!! this is the most important meal of the day. as a Spanish phrase used A LOT by my mom says “eat breakfast like a king, have lunch like a prince and have dinner like a poor man” (desayuna como un rey, come como un príncipe y cena como un mendigo).
make to-do lists: yeah, make to-do list for everything you need them! this will help you to do everything you must do without leaving any task (which would happen to me when I didn’t write out what I needed to do)
shower every night! okay if you prefer taking a shower in the morning is up to you but showering at night relaxes you and helps you sleep better
talk to people everyday (even if it’s your parents) you need to talk guys and tell someone how you feel and what happened during the day (those days I don’t talk to my friends/family I feel super sad and I don’t know why?)
listen to music that makes you feel alive!! I have this playlist where I put every song that makes me feel something. I think music is so powerful and can help you change your mood in a few secs
go out to nature! since I live in a city it feels super great when I get to spend some time out in the woods or the beach – go running, swim, take a walk or just sit, breath fresh air and enjoy!
dance, dance, danceeeeeee!!! hahah it doesn’t matter if your dance moves are worse than a potato but dance, jump and let go!
treat yourself with your favorite meal every now and then. I love eating so whenever I get to eat my favorite food it’s a happy day for me hahah :’-)
talk to your reflection in the mirror. tell yourself how great is your hair today, how glowy is your skin and how beautiful are you! do it every day, it’ll help 😊
sleep enough hours! when I don’t sleep a healthy amount of hours I feel super tired and I get angry super easily, so sleep well and wake up to a beautiful day!
journal and write daily or when you feel like you need to! write what you feel, what happened in that day, write your goals, quotes to summarize the day, the dreams you had last night… I don’t know! just let your mind go and write and/or doodle I promise this helps :-)
well I hope this helped at least some of you!! thank you if you’ve read this!! xx
- going to bed at a normal time and staying awake for 3 more hours - replaying scenes of past events in my head and overthinking them - buying even more books although I have a huge stack of unread ones - procrastinating. everything.
are you a warm bread, sunshine, honey, sunflowers type person? a strawberries, bunny rabbits, fairies, dresses type person? or maybe a green tea, painting, jewelry, gardening type person?
i'm dumb i'm gay and i'm full of love i'm literally the whole package
Yesterday Bradford Cox of Deerhunter walked up on stage in sunglasses and a fake moustache, drinking a cocktail out of a wine glass with a straw, shook my hand, and then began playing i love concerts
AUGUST-DECEMBER 2021 MANIFESTO FOR MY LIFE
it’s time, now, for something different. it’s time for orange-pink tulips, embracing curls and waves in your hair, fey mischievous laughter echoing in your mind long after the joke is done with, cartoonish margin-drawings of chubby tinsel-foil stars hanging radiant over the dome of the world, soft jazz barely heard over the murmur of evening voices, keeping a diary written in heart-blood in black-inked words, listening to the melody and rapture of chaos till it becomes harmless and loses its edge, flinching at what terrifies yet still moving forward and doing what is necessary, keeping pain private and keeping joy occasionally expressed, surprising good friends with warm gifts, tolerating emptiness without losing sight of what matters by remembering what fullness is when you have it, working every day at the right things without downplaying how much of a struggle they are, no longer martyring yourself for the betterment of the world but making yourself an immovable part of it much like the stones and trees, fondly referring to god as a distant loved one you still dream of every now and then, picking up the pieces, resuming the task you have set yourself—to live right, live nobly—once more, and letting love back into your life.
hehe yes
when i die all i want is to become on of those cats who lives around archaeological sites in greece and rome, sun myself while surrounded by remnants of antiquity, and make visitors wonder if i am perhaps some reincarnated ancient soul returning to the home i loved millennia ago
