If it rains, I always take lavender tea and an hour of my day to read or nap. If it is sunny, I make myself cold orange juice in the morning and take ten minutes of my day to sunbathe before I do anything. Coming from a country that doesn't have seasons and a city with bipolar weather.

okay i KNOW this is one of many recs i’ve made about sitting in the sun, but it’s because this winter has made me realize how crucial it is to my mental health. today it feels like spring, i’m drinking a bottle of elderberry ginger juice while sitting on the porch, my freckles are slowly making their way back onto my face, and my soul feels open to all of the possibilities in the universe. god bless

1. Move north (lol)
2. Fantasize about cooler weather to come
3. Blackout curtains and sheer curtain panel combo to let at least some light in
4. Cool colors in the home to psyop yourself into believing you’re not being terrorized by the sun
5. go to the farmers market and enjoy Mother nature’s seasonal produce bounties
6. Get into gardening? Another way of enjoying the seasons
7. Probably romanticize your life and introduce as much whimsy as possible to cope
8. Ice cream!

It's far harder to do now that Upstate has entered its "perpetual overcast" season, but sunbathing is probably my favorite thing to do. I have a class that has me right in front of a window, and yesterday, the sun came out for approximately 20 seconds. When I felt her warmth grace the back of my neck, I nearly sobbed.
If you live in a place where the sun is out often, please sunbathe in my honor, I beg. I envy you and hope you do not squander your chance to bathe in that warm, delicious sunlight. If you live in a place where that sweet, sweet sunlight is harder to feel, just know you're not alone. I hope you find comfort in knowing we are suffering together.

I recently found an old camera that belonged to my Grandma, my dear one who rests in peace, and decided to start taking pictures so I can document my youth like she did and put these pictures in an album. The important context about this? I never felt like doing this because I found there was no one in my life worth sharing it with or that I thought would stay until I’m old when these memories become gold, borderline thought it was dumb.
Personally, after my grandma passed out I found myself really disconnected to any blood family, half cut contact with them, but it unexpectedly opened space in my mind and heart for new people, all of them I love, but found two of which I believe are my chosen family.
This is dedicated to Leonor, Felipe and Esther, my grandma.
Not sure what order but;
1. My 23rd birthday, in spring, so it's spring themed. I can't put it in words but I'll cherish this picture forever.
2. Leo, Leonor, looking at herself in the mirror, you're so pretty, love. I can't wait to show this to your kids when we're older.
3. Captured by my friend on our way to an italian restaurant, It made me believe in this thing people say, that when someone that loves you takes a photo of you, that love will be shown through it, as they're capturing a moment of what you look like through their eyes.
4. I was driving to college and was met with the strangest weather I've ever seen in my life. A whitish sunlight was illuminating the spot I was in while a few meters away the fog consumed any visibility. It looked beautiful and surely in the future my city won't look the same.
5. Met my friend Dominique while working on a project about mapping the creative districts of our city to make a community map. She taught me valuable lessons about charisma and handling difficult situations, a genuine sweetheart, and I got to explore the most amazing spot in the city, Fell in love with it.
