This is an idea I’ve been coming back to a lot recently. Sometimes bugs come inside and that’s okay. I have to remind myself that outside bugs being inside is not some sort of cleanliness failure on my part. I’m very diligent about keeping my living space clean, but some things you can’t control. Bugs are just living their lives, and they don’t care about these structures we’ve built to separate ourselves from the elements. Sometimes I want to open the window while I work, but I don’t because I’m worried flies will get inside. But like... that’s okay!!!! I can handle a fly or two being in my space. I shouldn’t let that fear stop me from enjoying the fresh air, and neither should you.

I used to have a paralyzing fear of bugs and when we moved into our place we started getting regular visits from the local centipedes. At first I was terrified but they are my friends now

and NOT freaking out about the bugs!

Despite my past fears, I have spent the last year leaning to love bugs. Researching bugs and looking for them on my walks and noticing noticing noticing. Things are less scary when they aren’t unknown! The world is more beautiful when you appreciate the things that make it work! To be alive is to be in community with the wild world around us! Bugs are cool!

inconvenience/annoyance should not give us the right to kill a bug once you start, you begin to realize how friendly some of them are. my favorite are small milkweed bugs. they will crawl up on my desk while I work and just hang out with me. i still struggle with flies though ... god they are so fucking annoying

I am always so thankful to have a little metal nail file with me wherever I go. I used to be a chronic nail biter. One chipped fingernail would send me into a frenzy, and I would have to nibble away at what was left until the nail felt even. This would inevitably result in me biting the rest of my nails too. I know at least one of you can relate!? Carrying a nail file helps me avoid slipping up and chewing all of my nails to the quick. Sometimes I worry that it’s rude to be like filing away at my nails in public? But I also don’t care and even think it’s kind of sassy.

This has been my favorite since I was a kid. I don’t remember picking it, it’s just always been IT for me. Everything about this color is so joyful and kind to me. There’s something so smooth and round about it. I want to bathe in it! Both of my bedrooms at my mom’s and dad’s houses growing up were painted yellow at my request. However, I don’t really own any clothes this color, and I think it looks bad on me. I have a ton of yellow things in my apartment though. I have not met many fellow yellow fans, but I’ll always stand by it. Also, Timmy Chalamet wore butter yellow to the Oscars yesterday. He’s my favorite actor and #1 celeb crush, so it was a huge night for me.
