Today started like every day does at the moment which is just as depressing as it sounds, my days have become so monotonous. I get up, I make an effervescent drink (because my flatmate doesn't let me use the kettle that early), I wash my face, I put on makeup, and I rush around trying to get myself ready and into the library. But today I got to wear my shorts... and these shorts are not just any shorts... they have an embroidered moomin on the butt. I did it back at the start of covid and whenever it gets warm enough to wear them it makes my entire day so much better. I get to show off my beautiful tattoo, I get to laugh at the lines my shoes make on my skin when I sit cross-legged, I get to wear jorts for christ's sake!!
For the rest of the day I am making tiny little changes to make it a different day; I know I strive off of routine but when routine becomes slightly soul-crushing it is important to make sure you are keeping things somewhat interesting.
My friend has asked me to take pictures of her with her dissertation, I am so bloody proud of her. We are going to get Calippo's and go to buy incense. They aren't big events because I have realised I don't need big events to feel a big amount better, you can make a very small change and feel a big difference.
So today is one of small changes, and I can tell I am going to feel a big difference.
