Lush greenery.
does anyone else ever get this feeling, whenever you go to a body of water, something euphoric just wells up inside of you??? like... the way that sea foam tickles your skin, or how the first cold splash invigorates you?? or how about when you dive down to the bottom, and you look up just to watch the sunlight shimmer through the surface???? OOOHHH or maybe that feeling you get when the wave beneath you begins to recede, and you dig your toes and fingers into the sand while watching the water race past you?? and don't get me STARTED on aquarium visits—
There's chaos in water; much more than you can imagine...
Ideas: How to romanticize life
💫 Make your home / room smell lovely. Scented candles, oils, and similar are perfect for this.
💫 Take your time. Do things slowly instead of hasty - take your time in the shower, in the supermarket, while cleaning, etc.
💫 Have pretty decorations in your home / room. Surround yourself with cute little things to give yourself a beautiful space!
💫 Let some soft music play in the background (while doing things at home, or listen to soft music with earbuds while doing things outside.)
💫 Let yourself notice the wonders of nature more actively! The beauty of plants and flowers during a walk, the seemingly soft clouds in the sky on the way to work, the lullabies and happy songs the birds sing etc.
💫 Flowers! Always have one or two pretty bouquets at home, maybe one on your nightstand!
💫 Light candles whenever it gets dark and / or when doing tasks. Have candles while showering, taking a bath, cooking, cleaning. Whenever! Maybe even scented!
💫 Keep a diary / journal for positive entries only.
💫 Wear perfume, pretty clothes, do your makeup even when just staying at home.
💫 Books, books, books! Read a lot - whatever genre you prefer!
💫 Write and / or read poetry.
💫 Spend some peaceful time without devices.
💫 Start your day with a cup of tea - give yourself a silent moment before the everyday hustle and bustle!
💫 Give yourself more time to prepare your meals - make it a joyful, fun activity.
💫 Display / put up pictures of happy moments - moments where you felt beautiful, had fun.
💫 Use nice-smelling bath additives (oils, bath bombs etc.)
💫 Spend more time in nature - picnics, walks, bathing in a lake, collecting leaves and such.
💫 Make your meals look pretty!
💫 Wear elegant clothing while taking a walk.
💫 Write and give cute-looking letters to the people you love (and to yourself!)
💫 Exercise more self-care.
💫 Keep your space tidy and clean.

The best advice really is to just write. Write badly - purple prose, stilted conversations, rambling descriptions. Don't delete it, pass go, take your $200, save all your garbage in a big folder. Look at how much you've made - it doesn't matter if it isn't perfect, isn't polished, it was practice. Every time you write you learn a little more, and find another piece of your voice.

WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS GOOD? WHAT IF YOU WRITE IT AND ITS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED? WHAT THEN????
