hey google how do i compose a score that lets you know that the cellist killed the violinist halfway through and the violist found the body halfway through and helps the cellist hide the body and a transitional piece that lets you know that the violist is trying to keep everything together while the cellist slowly cracks under the weight of what they’ve done

little things to feel softer

Being kind to mean people

Teas with honey and sleeping early

A fun collection of cute mugs from little antique stores

Pearls and dainty jewellery

Buying flowers for yourself or a loved one, not just on special occasions.

being kind just because you want to, with no hidden motives, just genuine kindness

Reading and writing poetry

Self-care nights and long bubble baths

Going to the farmer's market to buy fresh fruits

No phone in the morning

Paying attention to the little things: changing seasons, moon phases, blooming flowers, etc...

Calm hobbies like painting, knitting, reading, baking

Matcha and tea over coffee

Being kind to stray animals and befriending them

Sending handwritten letters to your friends

Try cooking from scratch, make some jam, maybe attempt a sourdough... (nara smith my queen)

Flower prints and sundresses

Lacy tops and light colours

Taking time to appreciate art, listen to music, visit museums and art exhibitions, go to concerts, the theatre, cinema, etc..

Wearing only natural fabrics

Vanilla scented EVERYTHING

not sure how I feel about the title, but this all leans into the "softer/calmer life" thing; you guys get me lol. <3

As always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡

"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body, fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly, with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite."

While looking through my 2023 journal I stumbled upon this cute little page of what I wanted for April 2024. The best thing about journaling is reading back over everything when you are an older and wiser version of yourself 🤍

ride or die? no. write metaphorical essays about your individual traumatic experiences together before midnight or you have to buy dinner tomorrow

big fan of collecting small little trinkets (with no inherent use other than to make the heart glow a little softer)

Glad to know that this is a shared experience across generations. Like girl I can feel your pain, boredom and relief.
