I'm bad at keeping track of the cyclical tasks like cutting your nails so I always cut them really short and then let them grow out for weeks until I cut them again. But the transition from long nails to very short is so so satisfying to me. My hands feel so functional and like my own. I like typing without feeling my nails. Being able to do things with my hands without subconsciously worrying / being aware of my nails. It's just a beautiful feeling, childishly joyful in some type of way.

i always forget about toenails until they get so long i can’t stand it and then cutting them feels amazing and the toenail clippings are big and satisfying crescents

I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and I wanted to stop but needed a creative way to do it. So I decided to make them an art project. It helps me not bite them because I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I’ve done. I have to keep up with them and sharpen them about once a week. It also makes it easier to open packages, which is great.

When the nail polish is drying and everything you touch is suddenly delicate and fragile. Turning the doorknob more carefully than you ever have before. Pinching the light switch between your thumb and your pointer to turn it on. Typing on your phone with tender precision. Checking on each nail like a newborn, making sure you didn't accidentally hurt one. It makes me kinda anxious but I’m starting to see it as therapeutic. Like a pausing point.

There's nothing like seeing the city from a plane windows. Sparkling like stars down there. The little people in their little cars and twinkling homes. Feels so bittersweet and human somehow.

More specifically, watching your favorite rom com and then your crush's favorite rom com (is there an adult word for crush), back to back at the same time as they are watching them. But instead of the social exhaustion of video calling you just text while you watch them. Even better you guys like each other mutually, so it should be exhilerating, but they cannot and will not be with you so instead it's just a lesson in your terrible self restraint. Exhilerating anyway. Good movies, good conversation. Unbeatable.
