I wake up to my initial alarm, then immediately set another alarm for 30 minutes after that. For those 30 minutes, I can do anything I want except look at my phone. This is my first week test running this but for the few days I’ve done this I’ve had a full and productive morning and end up using my phone less in general.
10/10 would recommend

I am about to start doing this, and I am so excited. Imagine a world in which you don't look at your phone as soon as you wake up. That world is possible...eeeeeeeeeee

i’ve got this little red book that i carry around on me always that is an old vintage hardcover converted into a journal. any time i find myself feeling something unpleasant, getting a cool sticker, seeing a great movie, or just wanting to write i go straight to my little red book. growing up, i was never taught to express my emotions but 24 years later and a lot of life experience has taught me that it‘s okay to do so and you should have a space to do that safely. i hope you all find your little red books

recently, my girlfriend left for a study abroad and most of my ffriends are on holiday break away from NY. therefore, i have just been in this cycle of working and eating and sleeping. these past few days, i've made it my mission to get something done before i leave for work. whether that is taking out the trash or getting a croissant, i just have to have done an activity that requires me to leave my bed before my next shift. who'd-a-thunkit, i actually feel a little bit better every time i do this! i feel like i am making sense of the time that i have and i find great pride in being intentional about my joy. to more days like these, my lovelies

If we were villains:
it’s one of my new favs by ML Rios! It’s about a group of Shakespeare scholars that go to school in this prestigious university in BFE. They are doing a production of a play when someone turns up dead with no suspect. It’s super thrilling and an amazing use of shakespeare’s text to tie the story together. 100% recommend if ur into horror/murder mystery!
Crowns of Nyaxia:
This is a series by carissa broadbent that (currently) spans 2 main books as well as a couple spinoff books. The two main books are some of my faves in the fantasy genre. it’s hunger games with vampires! there’s amazing fight scenes, gore, poetry, and a little smut if you’re into that. I read both of these books this summer and this is the first time that i’ve read a spinoff in a series bc i loved the characters that much.
enjoy expanding your horizons!!!!!
