i've been helping my sister with some of her maths stuff lately since ib exams are coming up and it's... dare i say... fun? it's wild how much math and logic and problem solving feels more like puzzles when you aren't being graded.

okay i'm a math teacher so i'm biased but there is so much COOL MATH out there and you should just engage with it to admire the beauty!! watch a video about infinity or the banach-tarski theorem! play a logic puzzle or sudoku!! let your brain be bent a little it's good for you

the way your brain is wired is so cool. how numbers just make sense and they click and ”feel right”. it seems like you’ve been imbued with a small enchantment

NO WAIT HEAR ME OUT. I read this really great article on math anxiety and how a lot of manifestations of low aptitude and avoidance to math in many people growing up are just early markers of anxiety and anxiety responses. Most of the time it has nothing to do with the actual math but the simultaneous action of fighting off anxiety whilst attempting to solve an equation. I hated math growing up but now in my mid twenties I sort of miss it, I started doing elementary/primary school math questions every week and its kind of so fun to solve something in a safe space and recognise there is no need to be anxious about it because there are 0 stakes.

i've been really into the idea of taking myself on little solo dates and being generally kinder to myself lately, i think i've been happier with myself recently than i have ever been (the joys of growing up, i guess). and the realisation that i have real adult money and free will and can spend it on whatever is fun! i've been going to more concerts and on little trips and i saw that this one comedy duo i've been seeing a lot on social media were doing a live recording of their podcast in glasgow later this month, and i booked a ticket! planning on taking the day to do a little walking tour of the city, check out a doughnut place someone recommended to me, find a cool looking bar and order myself a pretty cocktail and head to the show - just really make a day of it :)
i don't know, i guess i've been really leaning into the idea that of all the people in my life, i am the one i'll have to spend the most time with, and i've been learning to have more fun hanging out with myself, and i feel like i'm coming into my own a little which just makes me so happy <3 hang out with yourself more! life is short man

i've been doing little things to make my life a little easier, like leaving a bottle of water, iron supplements and some belvita soft bakes right by my bed so i always have breakfast, water and iron in the morning, and keeping a very condensed set of skincare stuff right by my toothbrush - it might not be as effective as having more but getting myself to use a cleanser, moisturising sunscreen and vaseline every day has already made my skin feel so much better which has just gotten me more excited to do my routine every day. plus, getting body sprays and haircare stuff and just products in general that you really like the smell of is a game changer because now i get to smell like pineapples and caramel every day! it's such little things but it makes me happy and keeps me doing a routine of things that are good for me :))

i love wearing clothes with fun colours and comfy textures, i feel like it just makes you so much happier walking past mirrors! i got this handmade chunky rainbow sweater with this lovely criss-cross decorative stitching on the outside that makes it look fun and patchworked, and something about the colours just makes me so happy! same with dungarees, i can't believe i only recently picked up a pair because they really do make you feel like the plucky main characters from the books we read at age eleven ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )~✩‧₊
