I love my solo dates, i can’t function properly if i don’t get my own alone time.
Even when i wanna meet my friends, i go out 1 or 2 hours earlier just to sit by myself and be able to charge my social battery.
having a pocket sketchbook is definitely a + point because i can carry it anywhere and be able to draw whenever and wherever i am.
(A picture of sketchs i did at the coffeeshop before i start my shift)

Sometimes you just need to go on a city walk , solo date , get dolled up and wear your best outfit , go perfume shopping grab a croissant or a yummy sweet treat it’s my therapy and I always feel happy after and I love to write in my journal about the day or write in my Substack everything I did that day with my community

some ideas:
- going to the movies
- going shopping (not for necessities, just for fun - esp at the thrift or vintage/antique places)
- exploring new parts of ur city if there are places you've never been
- doing your usual routine but at a cafe or (if the weather is nice) outside - like going to the park to read a book u were gonna read anyway
- teaching urself a new creative skill and showing ur work to no one as u steadily improve, like painting, sewing, etc
- getting to know urself more through journalling - could even be art journalling, junk journalling, collaging or using prompts if you're not much of a writer
- going to museums
turn ur phone off for all of these btw it's you time baby!!!

I mean I’m on a solo trip so I have no choice but low key love hanging out with myself :)

I can’t find the Creator and i am mad about it because i wanna credit the one who made sure to put this for free.
I’ve found this website RetroPrint where they show the details of how you can make a Windows 95 customised theme on your phone (with over 800 icons app to choose from 27 of them are already made for the modern apps like netflix twitter etc - some graphics for the widgets too And 3 sounds.)

If there is one style that literally calms me is stippling.
The endless dots, the slow process, the nuance effect, the final results.
I just love it and appreciate it even more when i spend hours/days to finish one.

The fact that i can stay in bed warm with my phone or laptop and music in the background as i watch my favourite movies/series/youtube vids with a warm tea is simple enough to make me grateful for wherever i am today.
Worrying about what I should wear to work is a beautiful thing because it’s a privilege that sadly some people can’t afford :(
Complaining about to cook is a beautiful thing because someone somewhere sadly can’t even afford/have access to a simple bread piece.
Literally feeling the warmth of the sun while standing waiting for the bus is a beautiful thing to cherish and be grateful for.
