Fluffy Armor: It has a dense coat of soft, bristly hairs that serve as protection from predators.
Winter Predictor: These caterpillars are famous for their "winter forecasting." According to folklore, the size of the orange-brown middle band indicates how harsh the upcoming winter will be—more orange means a milder winter, while more black suggests a harsh one! (I always call when it’s going to snow)
Voracious Eater: Despite their cute, fluffy appearance, they are very hungry little creatures. They feast on a variety of plants, especially dandelions, clovers, and grasses, as they grow into their full size. (I have insatiable hunger..it is a problem)
Moth Transformation: After spending the winter as a cocoon, the Woolly Bear turns into an Isabella Tiger Moth, which has subtle but beautiful patterns on its wings. (Me in my 20s duh)

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
