just watched netflix’s ragnarok, and i can’t get over laurits cause he just does the most batshit insane things??? he ate a freshly sacrificed reindeer heart raw before he knew anything about giants bc his dad told him to?? no questions asked. and it’s like a RECURRING thing. he injected an old man’s blood into his veins without a second thought. he gave birth to a living tapeworm and was like “hmm new pet😍” HELLO?

slow days at gutiokipanja

eat delicious things in every sense. savor novels that unravel slowly, like decadent meals for the mind. let sunlight kiss ur skin, bask in its warmth like an endless summer. hold close the people who make you feel alive, kiss them tenderly, love them fiercely. laugh at bad jokes, the kind that make you roll ur eyes but secretly smile. plant basil on your windowsill, water it with care, breathe in its fragrance as you stir it into your meals. be unafraid to indulge in beauty, to notice it everywhere and to consume it greedily. there is no virtue in starving yourself of joy, no wisdom in rationing delight.

~ Bianca Sparacino, "The Strength In Our Scars"

I sleep with my feet on moss carpets, my branches in the cotton of the clouds.

Anaïs Nin, Under a Glass Bell

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.

hi sorry i have a question. how do you become a person. how do you develop the will to be a person. i have sadly proven unkillable

you have to be sincere. you have to stop being sad that you haven't been killed and take up the burden of loving yourself and taking care of yourself. and when I say love yourself I mean pretend you are an angel sent down by God for the purpose of loving and healing one specific person, yourself. and when I say take care of yourself I mean pretend you are an alien zookeeper and your only job is to look after a single human being in the Earth enclosure, you. after a few years of practicing this, you will develop the ability to like yourself and enjoy your own company, and you'll know enough about yourself to take it from there. I'm ordering you to do this, whether you have the "will" to do it or not, out of pure self-interest, because five years from now it will have made you good company and I prefer the human world to be populated with good companions. little lanterns against the inhospitable night of the age of Iron.

you are not a wasteland you just need ibuprofen and a hot bath and a shower and a nutritious meal and some water and some fresh air and to do something productive and to do something creative and to do something that takes physical exertion and to do something social
