I have really thick hair. A hairdresser once told me I have 3x more hair per square inch than the average person, and I believe it even though I have no idea how she could have calculated that. Iāve come to embrace my hair by piling weird little things on top of it like a bird building a gross but beautiful nest ā I usually donāt even have to use clips or anything, but anyone can do this with pretty much anything if you buy a little pack of plastic claw clips from the dollar store. I think it always ends up looking very avant-garde and artistique and only a little bit like a third-grade art project. Here are some of the things I knot into my hair:Ā Safety pinsĀ FlowersĀ Pens/pencilsĀ StringĀ Decorative combsĀ Earrings
Finishing your small braids with some sewing thread looks nicer than using elastic bands imo. Additionally it just feels cool to know how to tie my hair like this.
Video someone you love whilst they talk. Record the sound of the birds singing at your grandparentsā house, the sound of traffic in the distance. Write about literally anything, or even just make notes of what you think. Make shitty art, whether itās poetry or painting or music. One day, youāll be glad that you have more than just photos to remember your life by; thereāll be evidence you lived.
I canāt cope I need more movies I need to watch them I need to log them I need to rate them I need to review them I need to read everyone elseās cooler and more witty reviews
Not in a creepy way.
I love looking at what theyāve got sat in their windowsill, and imagining the kind of person that stuff would belong to. Picturing the layout, and wondering if Iāll ever live somewhere similar, and whether they like it or not. I often find myself getting carried away trying to envision myself living in that place, in that location, even going as far as to imagine a career and social circles and a morning routine for myself, only to be jolted back to reality when I see the sillouhette of the inhabitant, the vague and shadowy suggestion of a real life person rather than some sort of self-insert. If Iām caught staring, I try to give them a look that says āyouād really benefit from investing in a pair of curtains,ā.
