any ideas of souls filling things to do in the next two months of summer rather than rot in bed on my phone all day long ❣️

omg bestie i could ask the same question im currently rotting away in lockdown...... here, i’ll do my best!

decide that ur going to learn something. it doesn’t have to be a language but it could be, i think it’s fun! there’s loads of language learning resources on tumblr. buy a $7 Irish flute and learn to play it. u could become a diy ‘expert’ in new guinean tribal art.... literally whatever you’re interested in and have never had the time to pursue in your normal routine and just go!!

assuming you a) had some interest in learning a language and b) are spending some of your time rotting watching tv and movies, then watch them in another language and you will be pleasantly surprised how much you pick up on!! let ur rotting be a little more useful and fun

buy some cheap diy stuff 2 keep urself busy.... paints or embroidery supplies or beads to make yourself jewellery... you can add a little something to all your clothes like that!

get into baking bread. there’s so many benefits... a) it’s very time consuming, no more rotting for you b) you will have dirty hands you can’t use your phone c) it’s not actually very hard just watch a tutorial and follow the instructions d) you will spend the time standing up which is good if you’re not getting much other exercise or time to stretch e) i love you i want us both to eat well duh??!!

if ur able to then leave your phone at home one day and go on a little adventure outdoors. stay close so you’re safe etc but just get out and do something find inspiration in nature go!!!! its my favourite antidote

delete all your social media off your phone (yes, even tumblr) for a week i pinky promise it will improve your quality of life by at least 30%

i hope one of these was useful!! mwah

not 2 sound whiny but i wish more attention was given to the importance of art and literature and philosophy and other humanities again so they'll return to being a really great part of what shapes a decade or an era instead of being seen as useless because they don't fit into the capitalist ideal of a productive society
