having girl bffs is so important - i cant even think of anything better … maintaining sisterhood is literally the 8th wonder of the world … i am incomplete without supportive female friendships … i can live with having only 5 friends if it means they’re the best 5 girls in the universe
been journaling for awhile and its been a tool for creativity and unwinding after a longgg day. but having a larger journal with many pages can be daunting so i would recommend a pocket journal of some sort and ur fav pen (even fun stickers and photos) so u can take it with u on the go and not feel too intimidated. i love writing what i just witnessed, immediate thoughts, and literally anything for memory keeping or reflection. im on my third pocket journal now and although i havent been consistent its been something i do look forward to revisiting all the time 💓
i ate the yummiest indian food last night and woke up this morning thinking of her. im so sorry to the people out there who cant handle spices :( grow up!
