from the teachers lounge. if you don’t work in a school well then shoot… maybe sneak into a hotel and help yourself to their complimentary breakfast? Make yourself a waffle while you’re there and relish the opportunity to do the 180° flip thing with the iron. Make sure to grab one of those individually packaged maple syrups because it’s essential that this plain cup of black coffee is paired with something sweet. I’m not a businessman. I’m a romantic. Warm homemade banana bread with cold butter for me today :D diner coffee with a short stack works too.
My dad was staying at a hotel and there was this guy who kept complaining about the shit coffee that’s always burnt and my dad was annoyed because “some people like the taste of burnt coffee” I am my fathers child…
If you have a coffee maker at home, ignore everything but the title I guess.

I tend to quickly (often negatively and almost always incorrectly) judge everyone and everything, and this blindingly shiny, incredibly difficult-to-open package of ground coffee was not spared from this ugly quality of mine. I was shocked to discover these grounds actually brew piping hot pots of coffee that make my apartment smell like a Dunkin’ Donuts but taste as if Dunkin’ Donuts’ coffee didn’t taste like water. I start every morning with a cup of this, frothed with pistachio milk and a little maple syrup (bonus recs!!!), fueled up and searching for something new to (mis)judge.

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but it’s different when I do it.
My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called “target fixation”. It’s a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing they’re trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.
You will follow your gaze so be aware of where you’re looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think it’s just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things.
Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you.

Forgive because this where I get a little ~woo woo~ but I think you should only wear necklaces that are imbued with a potent magical vibe… amulets only near the heart and throat
you can do whatever you want with earrings/rings but heed my warning about necklaces
