i am admittedly a bit crazy about scent in the home. every corner of the apartment has an opportunity for activation: incense and smudge sticks in the bedroom, reed diffuser in the bathroom, a mini candle in the kitchen for when the lack of ventilation makes the stench of burned food linger and choke up the air. sometimes there is ritual involved in these smells, but walking past the big coffee-scented candle in the living room and stopping in my tracks to light it became so second nature to me that i don't even think about it sometimes.
the issue lies in this conundrum: i like the living room to smell nice, but i'm usually just lighting this on my way to the kitchen or my office and won't be on guard to protect all the wood furniture in our home from the flame. so today, i announced to my housemates and our guest: "i'm going to take a shower, and i'm lighting this candle, but now it's your responsibility. keep an eye on it for me."
why? because a living room candle warms up the room with its glow. it's a warmth that just makes sense for this space, dim illumination, with everyone together in a row on a couch that could stand to be longer. and there is something to be said about the trust involved in lighting a candle. everyone in this room knows what i need in our home to make it function for me, and when i tell them to keep an eye on the big candle in the living room, i know they will, for me.

picked up a dozen oysters on a whim this week. whenever i feel like a light snack i shuck a few over the kitchen sink and serve with mignonette and a dash of sriracha. feels special.

Write them a letter explaining why you need space, and remove them off all socials and try not texting or calling them for an extended period of time. You can always invite them back into your life when you’re in a better space.

As a girl who briefly dated a gun guy, be upfront about it. Not a fan of guns myself, but regardless if they are in your partner’s vicinity regularly/you are conceal carrying around the person you owe it to them to be open about it. On a less serious note is below (sourced from the trueanonpod twitter)
