Aromatic tea brewing in the morning; dropping freshly cut tomatoes in your eggs; that new lavender shampoo in your hair; good music in your ear. It's the little things that make day-to-day living more enjoyable.
The controllable variables must be. So many aspects of our existence are held hostage by the fists of fate. But I'll be damned if I can't romanticize my life by sprinkling some joy in it. If it's a Françoise Hardy song here or a new playlist there, you must bring excitement into your life.
You really can’t have one without the other, and when you are in the throes of despair, it tries to make you forget there is anything but, and then joy comes out of seemingly nowhere and you realize all that has been blossoming under your nose.
idk if i just have one of those faces or bc i have a dog, but strangers are obsessed with telling me the most insane stories randomly and i just smile and say wow that's crazy. sometimes people just need someone who will listen i guess
mine is named scorpion, and he's gorgeous. he is missing the typical bells and whistles (vision and hearing), but he's the perfect weighted blanket/serotonin booster
