✿ mystery of m ✿

it’s okay if you don’t know what your passions are yet. once you find your passions, know that you don’t always have to be the very best at them. your skill level is irrelevant, what matters is that you’re doing something for fun. that is a beautiful thing. you don’t even have to turn your passion into a career or a way of making money. and you don’t have to post your art or writing on the internet if you don’t want to, it can be something just for you. <3

it reminds me how all of us are always going somewhere and sometimes our paths cross with others, sometimes people accompany us on our journey for a short while or for a long time. i like to make up stories about them based on the mannerisms i see for a few short seconds or what they’re wearing/carrying. i wonder who they are and what’s important to them, what they dream about and what their struggles & fears are. sometimes i wonder what they think about me.

my friends, my dog, my chosen family, sunshine, blue sky, the way that tea warms you up from the inside, the smell of coffee, the snap good chocolate makes when broken, crispy bread, drinking wine with my best friend, watching plants grow from seed, creating my own playlists, snuggling with my stuffed animals in bed, the warm glow of my salt lamp, used books with annotations inside, the sound of rain falling, cooking my own food, a text from someone i haven’t heard from in a while, full sketchbooks, sleeping under a weighted blanket, making music just for fun, finding shapes in the clouds.

that provides hope for negative feelings and events but i find it a little alarming for the good things i enjoy right now. i don’t want them to end. but this keeps me from taking anything for granted. i am grateful for the simple pleasures and little things in life because they are constant. they can bring you comfort in times of struggle. i’m curious and i will share as well, what little things are you grateful for?

have you seen, smelled, heard, touched, or tasted love today? if so, how did that make you feel? (this doesn’t have to include romantic love. it can include self love, love for friends or chosen family, love for nature, love for food, art, music, etc)  if not, how can you find or create that emotion for yourself today and where is there room for love in your life?
