Pass the happy along! 💛 When you get this reply with 5 things that make you happy and send this to the last 10 people in your notifications 😘
FEATHER DOWN. hello anon! :3 thank you for this lovely message. i don’t like sending around such chain mails because most people are annoyed by them and i don’t want to bother anyone.
receiving asks tbh or just anything in my notifications because it feel like someone thought of me. it’s a bit like the feeling when you wake up to a dozen messages or letters.
SNOW ! IT’S SNOWING here right now and i tried to catch snowflakes on my tongue. now i’m soaked through.
my cats ( and horsey ) showing me affection because that’s so rare. i need a dog…
the show i’m watching right now because it has so many good word jokes and how they’re using accents is funny af.
christmas trees and christmas decoration in general. it’s actually over by now but i don’t take my decoration off until i want to so everything is still shining in red and green and gold ( and rn it’s snowing how fitting !! )
