@SOFTSHELLED I’ve always loved crows feet, I think it’s always added a sparkle to people’s smiles :) as a kid I always noticed by uncles and aunts having them and was like “how do their eyes sparkle like that?” And it wasn’t til I was older that I realized people looked down on them and I was FLOORED

LIFETIME OF A SMILE
the world is so fiercely full of beauty and trust and love and kindness. what is a glimmer on its own is blinding in groups, and this is especially evident when i look at the brilliance of the smiles all around me!! i wonder how far a singular smile can go. i wonder how many smiles are new and then i wonder if a smile can ever truly be new. i dont think it can, and so i live with the belief that the life of a smile is infinite and exponential. we only have room to sparkle more!! how exciting!!

MY GRANDMA TOLD ME: "I LOOK BACK AT MY LIFE AND I LIKE WHAT I SEE"
.."So i can die happy."
I rec that measurement. Creating your life in such way so you can say those words.
And she didn't live a life without challenges, I assume she meant being content with what she could control. But to the fullest.

Making zines!
There's been a handful of zine-making events in my area and it's helped me 1) explore my art styles & other mediums of creativity, and 2) meet some really cool zine authors!! Highly recommend <3

make your irl life creatively nurturing!!!
My steps: 1. Shut my phone down, hide it in my room, and lock the door so it's a pain in the ass to get to. 2. Be bored, and sit in the boredom for like 7-10 minutes (MINIMUM)-- once you're bored see what your brain gravitates to beyond The Screen (is it doodling? is it playing guitar? is it writing?) 3. Find the little thing your brain latches on to, and start doing it! Even if it's something goofy like "Just Dance youtube videos" to dance to LOL this is you, deliberately following your brain's natural curiosity & interest
And then rinse and repeat however you like <3 Once you get accustomed to the smaller, more gratifying feel good activities, social media starts to feel too overwhelming to even pick back up again-- you'll be reaching for it less and less (a final aside: I am of the major belief that creativity & imagination is critical to creating a better reality to live in, because it shows that you're capable of leaning into what "doesn't exist", and are courageous enough to imagine and build a reality that defies the status quo. but that's just me LOL)

Being seen trying!
Jump into your hobbies and passions!! And who gives a shit if you’re bad at them!! Let yourself be perceived, let yourself be bad, and let you be seen trying, because at the end of the day it is YOU and YOUR WORK, and YOU will be the one living with the regret of never having done anything at all.
