i really like when i get marks on my body that tell a story of who i am.

the marker on my fingers shows that i’ve been letting myself experiment with my art more.

the bumps on the side of my middle and pinky fingers tell you stories about the stories i spend my time writing.

my beauty marks that my mom always told me were signifiers of those that fit their title.

my dark eye bags that prompt you to tell me what they cannot: that i should rest more.

the red shape on my nose bridge left by my glasses.

I am so excited to see the etchings of a life lived become even more ingrained in my vessel for experience.

when I develop smile lines, grey hairs, and a taste for caramel, I will know of my growth.

when my body becomes a naturally-occurring collage of days upon days, I will know of my dedication.

with stories of my own to tell, I will feel okay. I will feel glad.

Today’s Study/Journaling Setup 🪴📓💎🕯️🩵🎶🍀

I just got this amazing composition notebook off Amazon! I was so drawn to the art on the front and the fact that the inside pages were cream colored instead of stark white. I love that it’s not round cornered, and I also love that even the little blank labeling section on the cover is very stylized! Thanks mom! I plan on writing a profile and doing art for each of the crystals I own inside this composition notebook. Today I’ll be starting with selenite. I’ll include its geological structure, my personal experiences with its metaphysical properties, and an affirmation for this crystal. -Velvet Rose 🌹

love feels so natural to give, so natural to receive. it's my favourite practice. I clear my mind first, to keep things sweet. this is a clean type of love, a meditation, like feeding the birds and making dinner for family. like a routine.

I feel like we could have a different type of love, a messier one, where we mix the paint and ruin the walls. one where we dig our fingers into ripe summer oranges in my car, share a bottle of wine in a garden, smoke outside to escape from everyone else for fifteen minutes. staying over, waking up crumpled and soft in the midmorning amber. a love where I listen to you play guitar for a week straight, making coffee in between songs, where we can keep it secret until it's all grown up. (if you want.)

Music is thriving in my life right now and you bet my journal has been hearing about it

A lot of my life has been spent protecting and hiding my heart from those who I should feel safest giving it to.

whirlwind tea leaves at the bottom of my mug. beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. the people are saying gorgeous things.

aaaaalrjght so this is barely worth posting but i haven’t been making very nice looking journal pages recently cuz i’ve got a lot to do in school and i got my first job! so there’s that, i’m so excited to participate in this absolutely thriving economy!!! these pages were just me taking notes from Brandon Sanderson’s 5 Tips which is linked right here:

i’ve started reading Antigone (which has been WILD) and The Great Gatsby in ap-english so maybe i’ll post my notes from those. have a good one guys, face a wall and forget about it all.

A TIP TO HELP YOUR WRITING PRACTICE.

This is a tip I utilize in all of my writing workshops and also my personal writing time.

✨ Time yourself. Set a timer for 5 or 10 minutes and write as much as you can without stopping.

This might seem intimidating, especially if you feel like you have nothing to write. What's great about this, is you can begin by just writing ✨jot notes ✨word associations ✨feelings attached to the prompt ✨song lyrics that pop in your mind ✨you can even doodle

What this helps you do is work out the muscle of putting pen to paper. Soon, words will flow when it knows there is a space and a time to do so.

Happy writing!
