I love escapism, I love being away from the cruel world, so I find warmth in small things. Buying chamomile to fall asleep and smell a fragrant floral scent; going to bed with a soft toy, imagining that you are hugging someone; baking pancakes to feel cozy in your small room.
I want my everyday life to be filled with beauty.
Loki: “So I—“ *stabs hand* “— finally understand you now”
Magne: “What the fuck”
feeling stagnant in life . So walking more. Taking new directions. Reading more. Eating nice food . Trying to figure things out slowly . What resonates , what doesn’t. What boundaries do I need to set with people, w work. Am I taking enough time to rest? Im deffo in an introvert mood. I have been for the last month. I don’t feel like I have anything particularly meaningful to share . But I guess my relationships r not defined by just what I can say. Anyways feels like im going through a rebirth !
the new year
Netflix’s Ragnarok’s “Thor” & “Loki” is what I thought I was gonna get out of mcu’s Thor & Loki based on the tumblr text posts I saw years before I actually watched any mcu movie. ESPECIALLY “Loki” he’s def what I expected of mcu’s Loki
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.
