☞ I am special.

☞ I am growing.

☞ I am beautiful / handsome.

☞ I am brave.

☞ I am learning.

☞ I am bettering myself.

☞ I am trying my best.

☞ I am proud of myself.

As long as you love and are proud of who you’re becoming, that’s all that matters, loves ! 💕

I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.

When Bea was eight, her parents got divorced. They gave her The List of Things That Will Not Change, including that they both will love her more than anything; her parents will always love each other, but in a different way; and they are all still a family, but in a different way 😍 - Bea adds her own observations to the list as she grows older, including that her dad is gay and that his boyfriend Jesse, whom she adores, is staying. But some things are harder to deal with. She’s impulsive and excitable and gets very anxious, and like all of us, she makes mistakes and these weigh on her conscience, one more than others. And then there’s different reactions to her dad & Jesse getting married. - The author has such a knack of writing for this age group in a way that doesn’t mask the harder realities of life. Even though Bea is overjoyed to be getting a sister in Jesse’s daughter Sonia, it may not be returned in kind, through no fault of her own. Ouch 💔 - I read compulsively to the end and wanted to give this to every anxious kid twelve years and under, but also to a lot of adults. Bittersweet - as author Carly Nugent’s rec says: “a beautiful reminder of the importance of making mistakes, feeling feelings, and forgiving yourself’. Don’t we all need that at times! https://www.instagram.com/p/CETRPUXDTjY/?igshid=1llpry750lghl

💭 please reblog if you’re okay with turning meme answers into threads !

Yes, I am a writer. Yes, this’ll probably be a blog about writing and roleplaying. But do you know what’s more important than writing and roleplaying ?

That’s right, you !

So here’s a list of things I want everyone to do in order to prepare themselves for a day full of successful writing and roleplay !

SELF CARE LIST :

1. Start your day off by making your bed ! Making your bed at the start of your morning makes you feel less cluttered and more productive.

2. Drink Water ! Guys, take this from someone who used to thirst myself like crazy — I mean, I would go almost a whole day without water. Drinking water not only gives you energy during the day, but also helps flush out the toxins in your body, especially the ones that retain unnecessary fats and bacteria ( sorry, that’s the nursing assistant coming out of me 😓)

3. Please, please, please make a healthy breakfast ! Again, I’ve been in the position where I would skip breakfast and rush to start my day. Heck, I used to wait until 5:30 pm to eat a single thing. It’s not good for you, so make sure you eat a proper breakfast before starting the day !

4. Skin Care ! If you don’t have a skin care routine now, that’s okay ! I literally just started with mine about two weeks ago. But let me tell you, it makes a difference ! It makes your skin look and feel healthy; plus, you get a nice confident boost !

5. Take vitamins and medicines, and make sure to brush your teeth, too ! These speak for themselves.

6. If you meditate, stretch, do yoga, pray or read your Bible ( or any religious or non - religious text ), give yourself about 15 - 20 minutes to do that in the morning ! Giving yourself some quiet alone time is healthy and very much needed before tackling the days To - Do list !

7. Turn on some fun bops ! Listening to music will motivate you as you start your day, and stimulate your brain while you do your chores — because guess what ? Yep, that’s what’s next on the list !

8. Start on your chores, schoolwork or work assignments ! I know, it doesn’t sound that fun. But you’ll thank yourself later for starting on your work as soon as possible. And if you did the other items first, you’re completely ready to tackle your work !

* If you have anxiety, adhd, depression, ect., try starting your cleaning routine by simply focusing on one area of each room to declutter per day ( that way you don’t overwhelm or stress yourself out ) !

Remember, you’ve got this ! You are doing great, you’ll get through the day ! And even if you don’t do everything on this list, just putting in the effort means you’ve tried your best, and that’s what matters !

This is my day. Or, my everyday life, if you will.

Uh oh. Don’t tell me - we’re about to go over a huge waterfall.
