I want to live a life of leisure. When watching docuseries about the lives of the wealthy, what I'm jealous of the most is the fact that the lives of trust fund babies who manage their money well can be solely dedicated to their hobbies if they so desire. I've had parents who've encouraged my interests and created spaces for myself online where I've been able to figure out what kind of careers would interest me the most but I don't dream of labor. I dream of love and excitement and living in Paris. Marvelous adventure and tragical romance. Sleeping in silk sheets with a weighted blanket over me. Not having to worry about how much money I'm spending on groceries. Being able to pay for prescriptions without feeling the pain of the cost. Doing things that energize me without my energy being depleted by things beyond my control. Originally posted on Micro.Blog

Don't be afraid to try something new. This summer has been my season to try out a bunch of new things at once. I scheduled a month worth of Instagram and Twitter posts using Planoly and Hypefury. I established a simple skincare routine that'll keep me from having horribly unmoisturized skin. I met up with an internet friend in-person for the first time ever. Doing all of these things scared me at first. I felt a sense of uncertainty, which for a person who enjoys feeling in control, I did not enjoy. All of it became worth it in the end. I formed new connections, found a way to relax, and explored my public identity in a way I hadn't before. Do it scared and then do it because you love it. Originally posted on Micro.Blog

Frequent Starbucks runs. The experience of standing in line and taking in all the scents. Ordering something new every time. Getting out of the house and trying something new. Receiving a package of skincare items and getting a horrible sunburn that definitely taught me a lesson (I should have listened to the wisdom imparted by Mary Schmich), led me to establishing a daily skincare routine. Taking the time of take care of myself every day while in solitude allows me to rest, recharge, and think over the day(s) to come. Originally posted on Micro.Blog

Eros: Yearning, so much yearning Philia: when all you want is to enable their happiness Ludus: puppy love, novelty, dalliances galore Storge: family (sometimes chosen, manytimes not) Philautia: self-love Pragma: Love is a choice, not a feeling Agápe: Love for the world around you I'm the kind of gal who wants pragma but experiences ludus and expresses philia all too often.
