We are going to do good things with our lives. I don’t mean we will all cure cancer or invent some life changing product. I mean we will make people smile, we will help strangers simply because we can, we will try to leave people better than we found them. I know that if your heart has good intentions, you will do something good with your life.

this is the recovery bee popping in, gently booping your nose and landing on your shoulder to remind you that things will be okay, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. you’re loved, you’re worthy and you’re important.

one thing i feel like a lot of people don’t quite get about studyblr is that sometimes people won’t follow you because the content you produce is not quite the aesthetic they like or  sometimes people will follow you because they don’t care about the aesthetic they just want learning tips, etc etc, and that’s all completely valid. 

i see posts sometimes that try to be very virtuous about the studyblr community- that talk about how it should primarily be for sharing learning tips, etc- but i respectfully disagree.

I think people should create and enjoy the content they enjoy and that serves them. 

now maybe someone’s here for just learning tips and not aestheticism? totally fine. but if someone’s here just for aesthetics? that’s also valid! sometimes you know how to study, you don’t really need tips, but you want someone to nudge you and say, “hey, studying can be beautiful.” 

#studyblr gets real is a great tag, but so is regular #studyblr. 

to be honest? although i reblog learning-tips posts etc as well as aesthetic ones, i find just pretty photos far more inspiring. my issue with studying is not that i don’t know how or that my techniques don’t work, but that i’m often unmotivated.

and that’s why i use studyblr! of course i can find beauty in my own messy desktop, but that’s the point of this kind of media- to romanticize it for you. i don’t look at studyblr photos with the perspective that my workspace has to look like that for me to enjoy studying. i don’t think that sitting in the middle of a giant white duvet with a wooden ikea tray and coffee and strategically placed dried flowers is really how anyone studies. 

i look at studyblr photos because they personify the feeling of successfully studying. many times the things that fill us with joy simply would not have the same effect through a photo if we just took a straight up photo with no arrangements whatsoever with bad lighting, no arranging, etc. although these photos that i see are not visually what my study spaces look like, they are what they feel like. 

this is why movies have colour grading, why they have sound design, costume design, soundtracks, slow motion. it’s not to say that “this is exactly the way things are or should be.” time doesn’t literally slow down. sad songs don’t play when someone breaks up with you. it’s to convey the emotion of a moment through a single photo.

So I’m finally back from my parents home and now trying to concentrate on writing my project but a) the weather is so cold today b) I’m feeling a little sick and sleepy, so I made myself a cup of cappuccino to warm up

I went thrifting for the first time in months today and found a used copy of The Little Friend that I intend to gift to a friend.

reasons to live: winter edition

cold and crisp air making you feel alive

your breath freezing and the wind making your skin tight

pitch black nights

heavy snowfall making even the ugliest landscapes breathtakingly beautiful

wrapping yourself in a huge blanket to keep yourself warm

frozen cold hands against your bare skin

ugly sweaters and fuzzy socks

hot chocolate after a long time out in the cold

the warmth and comfort you’ll experience due to increasing intimacy

christmas and the joy of giving

less partying and more intimate movie nights with your loved ones

the hundreds of blankets you’ll end up sleeping with

the smell of something freshly baked filling the entire house

the goose bumps you’ll notice everywhere on your body

I love this weather so much. I’m studying for uni, knitting my sweater and enjoying the view. It’s a lovely day 😋

You have the blood of a poet. You have that and always will. You show, in the middle of savage things, the gentleness of your heart , that is so full of pain and light
