#calm things

CALM as a whole reminds me of...  one of those days where you just feel everything- when you feel like life has thrown you every high and low possible before earth has even made a full rotation. It reminds me of the feeling you get reminiscing on a lost love. It feels like aimlessly wandering through your city on foot till the sun comes up. It feels like... watching smoke billow from your lips as the sun sheds light on everything, feet dangling from the rooftop of an abandoned house on a quiet street. But most of all, it feels bright, filling-- like relief. Like cold morning air in your lungs, making you realize you’ll be okay.

if anyone needs some calm right now check out li ziqi ✨ she makes the most relaxing videos! beautiful scenery, soothing nature sounds, foraging for herbs, food and flowers that she uses to cook with, making clothes and almost anything from scratch. she is amazing!

self-care is realising that people who fail to see and appreciate the constant effort you put into trying to make them happy are not for you. let them live their lifes, but don't let them stop you from truly enjoying yours.
