Natasha Lunn, From Conversations On Love (2021)

You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts. You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary. You need to abandon your glorious future and build your imperfect present instead.

Semester break is a bliss 💕 but also made me quite lazy.

Well well well. How the wheels on the bus have gone round and round

It is November. The year on its deathbed. I have outlived my body so many times these months. Like wildflowers in concrete, I am trying to grow between the syllables of my name.

semester breaks doesn't feels like a semester break, spending the time mostly dwelving deep in academia writting and as usual, high on caffeine to chase deadlines. seems like I am merely studying my lecture material, notes and books, and most of the time, banging my head on the desk for being clueless. ootd using .5 perspective to appear taller since i am quite petite. also, iced cafe latte and matcha cheese cake 🍵💚.

Magnolias are so ancient plants that almost every other plant and insect who came to being around the same time as them has gone extinct by now. They are the loneliest plants in this world. Does anybody understand how much grief it gives me that the symbolic flower of Kuras is magnolia.
