thinking about the intimacy of falling asleep on someone's shoulder.

when you're feeling cozy in their presence and safe and warm enough to become drowsy and they put their arm around you and you can smell their skin and sweat and their favourite perfume and you fall asleep cradled in the arms of a person you trust so much you allow yourself vulnerability and-

Yes we have homework together.

tips on romanticizing life (2)

with all the craziness in the world rn i thought i should finally make a second part

make breakfast: even if you're not hungry in the mornings, try starting out with a mug of tea or iced coffee. i find this gets me hungry, and makes me want to eat something more nourishing. its so so so important to fuel your body for the day to come!

dress to impress (yourself): with online school and work from home, its easy to fall into the sweatpant + hoodie combo. Instead, break out those chunky knits and blazers! fall is here so its time to show off that wardrobe (even if its just for a super cool mirror selfie)

smile more: if you see something/someone you like, smile. simple as that. Try and fully relish in the feeling of being content and cherish the moment, no matter how fast and fleeting it is. when we have bad days, its important to savour the good parts.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me, "just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."
