my favourite time is when it’s summer and the suns just starting to set and the sky is a pinky colour and the air is still warm from the sun. It makes me feel so nice and whole

little happy things:

  • seeing someone who is equally as excited to see you
  • when you’re somewhere beautiful, away from things that stress you out
  • actually completing your homework quickly without procrastinating too much, and then sleeping on time
  • when your friend shares a generous amount of food with you
  • reading something that perfectly describes what you’ve struggled to put into words
  • starting a new journal with new stationery
  • waking up in the morning and feeling happy for no reason
  • discovering a new favourite tv show, song or person that makes you excited again
  • making food or art and then feeling proud of your creations
  • realizing that you don’t care anymore about something that made you sad or anxious before

feel good things:

  • watch sunrises. somehow, this makes me feel like the beginning of something new, the birth of my better, stronger self. watch the way the sun rises, because just like that, you will rise and shine, too.
  • sing your heart out. dance until you’re exhausted. make art until you run out paint. write out your feelings. indulge in your passion and do it like you’re doing it to impress yourself.
  • relive your favorite, happiest memory. it is one easy guaranteed effective way to make your heart, your soul, and even your lips smile. no bias.
  • rewatch your favorite film. grab some chips or a bucket of popcorn and have a marathon of your most-watched flicks. don’t hesitate to replay your favorite scenes if you feel the need to.
  • aspire and try to be kind, always. being kind on a daily basis is possibly one of the most exhausting and draining thing to ever do but i promise at the end of the day, before you go to sleep you will realize: it is worth it. always.
  • take a shower. scrub off your creeping self-doubts, smell nice, and bask yourself with self-love. take your time to ponder about your life inside the tub. this is the best time to reevaluate and relax.
  • be spontaneous even just for one day. drive away from the city. get a haircut. go on a coffee shop hopping. sketch random places. let your heart and your thoughts wander. let your soul soar and be free.
  • treat yourself. it does not necessarily have to be something enormous or expensive. it could just be a new set of brushes or getting a thrifted second-hand book or buying yourself some bouquet of fresh flowers. it’s not about the tags, it’s about the thought.
  • rekindle your love for a forgotten passion. nothing beats falling in love with something the second time around. touch your dusty piano keys, change your rusty violin strings, and once again (just like the old days), let your ardor dance in harmony.
  • take a nap. because sometimes, the best way to temporarily solve something, is to do nothing. yes, it is only ethical to give yourself a break from the overwhelming society. and yes, taking a nap most of the time makes everything better.
  • if you want to or feel the need to, cry. there is nothing wrong with doing something that is inherent. this does not prove that you are weak, it only proves that you are a human being capable of feeling things. so really, do not ever plan to hinder yourself from crying. it’s often times therapeutic.
  • do something that you have never done before. no more excuses. just because there is nothing more empowering and satisfying than crossing something out of your bucketlist.

does anyone else have those moments where they just fall in love with being alive? like, maybe you’re in art class with soft music and you realize that this peaceful feeling is a part of life that you love and you want to just keep forever, and there are so many other parts of life too that are so wonderful and maybe existing isnt so bad after all

little happy things

  • sitting beside someone and feeling at home
  • taking a perfect photo after trying to for ages
  • daydreaming about your favourite places and people
  • sore muscles after going on adventures
  • when the food arrives at a restaurant
  • cute things people say that make you feel ok again
  • a movie that makes you tear up a lot
  • listening to a song for the first time, and knowing that it will become really special to you
  • when the temperature of the tea is just right
  • talking to someone who understands how you feel
  • nice-smelling lotions and soaps
  • looking back and realising how much you’ve improved
