11.17.18 // happy friday !
what do you do when you feel like giving up?
I let myself get upset. I let myself feel everything I’m feeling. I don’t try to suppress it. I have an evening where I close myself off in my bedroom, put my headphones in and listen to all the songs I know are going to help me cry, and I let myself hurt. I get everything out. Sometimes I write down everything that I’m feeling, and I write down what triggered me to feel that way. When I’m done crying or I’m too tired to stay awake, I let myself sleep. Then the next morning, I pick myself up. I start the day off with a mug of green tea and nothing else. I sit with no phone, no TV, nothing. If it’s nice out, I drink my tea in the garden and just let myself remember how big the world is out there, and how many opportunities I have yet to take. When I’ve finished my tea, I have breakfast, and then I go to the gym. Exercising lets me focus on something else. I find counting down the minutes and counting reps to be therapeutic, and I know I always feel really accomplished and productive after being to the gym. I work out hard. Then I go home and I shower. I take my time. I shave my legs, I leave the conditioner in my hair longer than usual, I use my favourite body scrub freely instead of rationing it like I usually do. I put my favourite Spotify playlist on as I shower and just focus on the music and letting the room fill with steam. When I’m done I dry myself off and I blow dry my hair and I do my makeup. I’m not going out anywhere, I just want to fucking feel good. I get dressed. Maybe paint my nails. Put some perfume on just for me. I pull up YouTube interviews with my favourite band, The Killers, and watch them until my eyes go square. Then I’ll watch some more stuff. Usually Pretty In Pink, it’s one of my favourite films. I’ll put one of my favourite comedians’ DVDs on and literally not give a fuck about anything else for the whole day. I’ll pick up my guitar and fuck around with that for a little bit. I’ll eat shitty food and drink more Coke than is probably medically advised. I’ll read trashy fan fiction because let’s be real it’s the best kind. I’ll put my phone on airplane mode and take my dog for a nice, long walk, regardless of whether or not it’s raining. I order food in for dinner because I can’t be arsed cooking. I leave the curtains open in my bedroom and I let my little bit of the world go dark around me. I tidy my bedroom. I arrange my books in alphabetical order. Next time I’ll arrange them by colour. I listen to my favourite vinyl records back to back because sometimes it’s nice to hear an album from start to finish, as the work of art it was intended to be. I go to bed early, put on my sleep mask and go to sleep.
Basically, I have a day that’s just about me. I focus on myself for a second. I remind myself how much time there is in a day. I remind myself that the day will always go by even if I don’t want it to. And then? Then I get on with it. Because I know that’s just what has to be done. Time doesn’t wait around for anyone. But I flip it around. I don’t look at myself as being a tiny cog in a huge machine that nobody’d give a fuck if I just stopped and broke off. I look at myself as being the biggest fucking cog there is in ME. I realise how much control I have. I reestablish myself as the maker of my own fate and my own fortune. I stop looking at deadlines and commitments as chores I have to complete, I look at them at things that will help me out. Things that I have to do for me as opposed to other people. I take the reins again and keep hold of them for as long as I can before I need to take another “me” day.

6 February 2019 | Finally feeling like I have a decent handle on some of these tenses—yay! That coffee shop I mentioned a bit ago that had the white chocolate honey lavender latte had a rosemary shortbread latte today and I just couldn’t help myself. It was so extremely worth every happy little brain-nourishing calorie.
one of my favourite spreads/drawings-in-my-bujo to date! the drawing turned out much better than i thought it would lol
I really need to reduce my caffeine intake 😅
