Essential Oils

Basil oil: focus

Clove oil: energising

Wintergreen oil: stress/tension relieving

Tangerine oil: cleansing

Rosemary oil: concentration

Chamomile oil: calming

Peppermint oil: ease stomach/headaches

Lemongrass oil: positivity

Lavender oil: sleep, relaxation

Grapefruit oil: uplifting

Frankincense oil: peace

Rose oil: lifts mood

Eucalyptus oil: clear breathing, opens chest

* Just a general cheat sheet – there are so many more different oils and uses for them :)

* Look for “100% natural oil” on the bottle to know it’s not mixed with harmful chemicals.

just my 2 cents but people decrying the rise of “puritanism” because the leads in twisters don’t kiss is sooooo funny and stupid and dramatic. guys i think this is probably the first time ever that the hot leads in an action blockbuster didn’t kiss like it’s not an epidemic. it’s not a sign of people “becoming prudes” i think it’s just not that srs… just write fanfiction if you want them to kiss

#sometimes i feel like an alien in this world trying to force myself to experience romantic feelings towards anyone #like i genuinely have to Force myself to try and see someone in romantic light and it very rarely works #meanwhile everyone else on this earth it seems just views romance as like essential to surviving for every living soul #and if a character in a movie or show or whatever doesn’t experience it everyone is like ohhhh so we’re all PRUDES now #like relax……

idk how people draw in public, i need to adapt to this and learn bc I'd really like to go sit in the park and draw and get some sun...

I use limited tools/colors when i draw because I never make full colored pieces or anything, usually a page or spread is a single color or analogous colors, but I just dont like the idea of not having supplies on hand if I change course in what I'm drawing....

#sometimes ill draw in colored pencil then feel the need to switch to markers and i know limiting yourself is good but its not the same #theres a difference i feel...i hope this makes sense #not being able to continue a page or spread bc i dont have the tool i need to do so wld frustrate me especially since #i dont like having many unfilled pages at once (since obvs the solution is to just continue on another page)#it makes me feel overwhelmed and itchy. if dis makes sense #i understand limiting tools helps u improve but thats not what this is.#for example im a person who brings all personal essentials with me at all times. if i went somewhere and realized #i forgot to bring my chaptsick or my little lotion bottle i wouldn't be able to relax until i got back home to it #*chapstick #this is the same as that. id just feel off #like ill just go home then actually

Wait!! In an earlier post you said everyone was aggressive… especially Barnaby…

What happened when he woke up? Unless it’s a spoiler/ not ready yet, then forget this question!!

I hope you have a nice day/night though :3

that answer is indeed Not Ready Yet! but in short, he has a Really bad time after he wakes up. like, it's Rough rough for him. and before anyone asks - no, it's not because of the arm! that is something he can understand, even if its a lil unsettling. everything Else, however...

#yeah barnaby wakes up pretty much exactly before everything goes wayyyyyy downhill #and aggressive more like... well hm...#he's very sad and angry (mostly at himself) and scared #and that all blends together into him becoming somewhat high-strung and Overprotective #basically i take the laidback comic relief character. i put him in a blender. i hit puree #barn had his relaxation time. now he gets to have a bad time!#i do it out of a place of deep fondness and affection i swear #wh lights out au #but yeah haha barnaby. yeah he Goes The Fuck Through It #he has some big emotions! he makes some big mistakes! he lives through some Tough Shit!#hey! at least he has howdy's continuous support #unless. unless i decide that something has to happen to everyone's favorite caterpillar.#i mean... if he has to go then he has to go!!#but at present i think howdy is essentially safe <3 maybe <3 #everyone is at risk until Final Decisions are made <3 #like there are exactly Two characters who like. absolutely fucking die lmfao no question about it #and there's another who's on verryyyyyyy thin ice. Very thin. its cracking.#but everyone else? somewhat safe. unless i think of something / something Occurs to me #you have a nice day/night/evening/morning/afternoon as well!

"i cant keep doing this anymore" says guy who will continue to do this some more

#its me im the guy #im so tired . so so tired #in a really bad time with my job lately #in that nearly every day is so so trying and gives me moments of stress #and every week is just a countdown to the weekend #and like the day may not even start bad but by the end of the day im just tired and on the verge of or having a headache #it may just be that i get like this especially before my vacation where im like if i dont get my vacation im going to perish #and thats coming up in september so yay i can finally relax and have fun then #and i do that on the weekends but god they are so short. i hate working full time so much but! i have no choice but to do it #i cannot afford to work part time or not at all i dont have the time or money to go to college for a degree for a better job #im stuck here!!!!! god anyway .#its also just a lot less good at my job now theres so many more people here and i dont have as much goof off time which is essential #god anyway im too tired to rant any more #only solution is to finish my screenplay and make it big

There's a awkward story on why, exactly, I bought some incense this week, but the point is that I bought amber, oud, and lavender.

Since I hardly ever burn incense (I said it was an awkward story) I just left the boxes over my dresser, thinking that maybe I'd give some to my mom later, as she actually enjoys incense.

But they're good, high grade incense, the sort that will scent the place just from existing there, so I just left them there. It was nice even if made the whole room smell just a little bit like a temple.

It's been 5 days and now I guess I have to admit that not only the combination is pretty comforting, the nice incense sticks are making me sleep through the night.

#I don't usually do relaxing-- not by choice I'm just high-strung and things Do Not Work #I usually have to powercycle my brain through breathing and somatic exercises before I sleep #so it's extremely unexpected that this combination settles me down #especially because dried lavender or essential oil never ever worked for me

the things I do for my vices, oy vey

#uni doesnt have an area i can smoke weed in and the trails i would normally use close by are CLOSED #so i have to take. a literal fucking HIKE just for a simple bong hit like that defeats the purpose of a relaxing toke mi amigos #i fluctuate between two perspectives on it daily:#1) this is ableist and discriminatory (pre-toke)#OR #2) man im gonna get SO fucking in shape doing this (post-toke)#for reference. my uni is essentially on top of a fucking mountain #every path. hills. all up all down #some flat. barely flat #all hills

There's also a thing i'm working on in regards to Makoto and him cutting his hair as a symbolic act of moving forward with himself. He's a shapeshifter by his nature as both a dragon and a spirit, so he can grow his hair to whatever length he wants it to, but...to me, his hair being kept long was representative of his nature as a sorcerer, he was always distant, and even when he was involved in direct battles, his strategy was to stay in his dragon form and simply fry all of his enemies with his lightning breath.

Makoto becoming a dark knight and cutting his hair short is both for tactical reasons (preventing it from being grabbed) and his actual transition into a protector who will leap in front of others to keep them safe.

#still though #an intimate thing for him #and most if not all the dragons i write #is caring for their horns #or decorating them #it's one of the highest forms of intimacy he can show anyone #idk man #i think a lot about makoto shedding his princely behavior #and learning how to relax #he's no longer the general helping to defend Rivera #he's the person who can connect with others #albeit slowly #but he's trying his best #unfortunately (for others)#his way of showing care is being willing to murder whoever hurts them #something Maisie *has* gotten on his case about #because he sees the Doscedars being taken advantage of #and makoto was like #“i'll just kill all of your village elders”#problem solved #tbf tho #this tends to be a common theme with seraph and makoto #in seraph's case #it did work #because he essentially showed an entire tribe of people that he was capable of being someone who was empowered by a god's stolen relic #in makoto's case uhhh #it's complicated

Trying to keep a lid on it but. Yeah. Literally don’t know what’s it like to NOT be platonically neglected IRL my whole damn life, only that I know this One Person doesn’t deserve to be at the epicenter of it anymore than I deserved to have been at the epicenter of theirs a year ago now.

…why am I like this. Why are we like this.

#tiger’s roar #…but like. good god. someone being Actually Genuinely KIND and insisting they DO like my company and want my friendship #(and is arguably mutually attracted and THOSE feelings of mine and what I’m picking up from them just won’t DISPELL already)#just. really stirs the muck. gets at that emotional constipation in my brain’s grease trap #then having TWICE now having Activities Suggested and THIS Time in FRONT of people then like…never following through?#all but thinking aloud with planning to witnesses things that sound less like hanging out and more like a date #and then just…not doing it?#when the Reality is Apparently Too Busy?#us fighting earlier this year over quality time essentially #when all I want is to have like. maybe an hour or two once a week or once a month #to enjoy someone else’s company. get a fucking REPRIEVE from my life #that’s…that’s it? nothing grand. just have the time found where it can be without causing strain?#I’m actually NOT a romantic even when I have romantic feelings? they just make me yearn for basic contact all the more #I’ll always be ‘too platonic’ within a romantic relationship so no it’s never going to be an ‘expectation’#MAYBE the one with unrealistic expectations is the guy who watches romance films and struggles with AllorNothing thinking perhaps?#and…yeah. trying to not feel resentful of their time spent this summer with existing friends when apparently not working 20+ hrs a week #in addition to their own research and god knows what else #…because it feels like there’s no space for me. and probably never will be. and I have never been ‘cool’ a day in my life #sure I own it as an adult. especially a 30s adult.#but having people recognize me as kind and supportive and easy to talk to 1:1 (my group aqauaintance/casual friendships SUCK)#but. basically never getting to keep any of them as friends? quickly ditched? treated like a used bandaid?#it…gets to me alright? like I only exist as Catch/Treat/Release but for people #which sure. the friend I’m angry at HAS been frustrated about me deserving better. looks at me like I’m christmas.#and I’m now fairly close friends with their beloved sibling. and despite things having THE Worst Start Ever their family seems to trust me #…but…it’s just…think I deserve better? think I’m worthy of your esteem and respect? think I’m kind and approachable?#want me to feel safe and relaxed enough to be myself? then just…do better.#ask when I’m available to kill a few hours then…follow through on that. that’s it.#not all the time. and my ‘expectation’ is to always be either neglected or used and feeling jaded about it #just…a repreive. for both of us. that’s it.
