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!

💫 Books, books, books! Read a lot - whatever genre you prefer!
💫 Write and / or read poetry.

💫 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!)

Renaissance Art: The Moon
Can't be sincerely dark without being called edgy, can't be sincerely emotional without being called melodramatic, can't be sincerely silly without being called stupid. They're gonna hate every emotion you put in your art no matter what so make it anyway and be as sincere as you can be
