stickers all over laptop, water bottles, phone case; walls covered in posters, postcards, random assorted mementos; bookshelf decked out with candles, trinkets, garbage that i collect……the maximalist never rests
i, as im sure much of yall do, have a ton of knick knacks and sentimental shit i don’t wanna get rid of. and things that just look cool. my solution? shove it in birdcages!! the one with the clown in it is in the Beta Phase but the bigger one is just about done. i’m going to add some little lights in to illuminate the treasures inside :)
basement desk, but i’ve tried to jazz it up as much as i can. 80s garfield plushes on the floor, halloween posters on the wall, in-progress pop tab chainmail in the corner, double stereos, it’s definitely... a place to do things…
Didn’t have pierced ears until I was 12, so I really enjoyed these bad boys that looked cute and barely kept on for 20 mins.
Ended up having a nickel allergy that basically keeps me from wearing any earrings so maybe I should get back into these little guys.
I had seen people casually before my current partner of almost 12 years, but never love.
I realized I could spend near infinite amount of time with him.
That I didn’t mind holding his hand in public
Or snuggling with him in front of my family
Or introducing him to my friends
Or calling him babe or love.
The idea of vacationing to him only sounded fun.
The idea of moving in together felt right and he felt the same way.
We revel/ed in love celebrations.
All of this happened for me within the first year and I was completely thrown off because I was always stressed out about the potential of being seen (both at all but especially as a spectacle that a relationship brings) and then with him I didn’t mind at all.
