🦋✨!

yellow:

if you could have any view from your bedroom window what would you choose?

something that changes, like if the door in howl’s moving castle was a window. the views would be places i’ve been, mostly in the rain. fontainemelon, paris, the colosseum, and fontainebleu for starters!

what’s your favorite thing to do on a sunny day?

find a friend, take a little walk, look at plants, talk a lot, take pictures! and eat fancy pastry in a park if the mood strikes.

what do you consider lucky?

having what you want or need just... show up out of nowhere.

what made you smile today?

friend texts, sewing projects i’m planning, pistachio cream on toast (delicious sacrilege), being back in ottawa - friends are nearby and the weather is decent!

what makes you happy?

being remembered/cared for/noticed/appreciated. feeling organized. understanding things. small meaningful or cute objects. small but completed art projects. cats. frank o’hara. museums, vintage shops, and gardens.

blue:

what do you do when you’re sad?

put off my responsibilities, figure out why i’m sad, rest, then engage in either sulking (self-explanatory) or counterattack (music, minor acts of productivity, looking at doll pictures) until i feel human again - and then do something that makes me happy.

what are some things you do when you can’t sleep?

remember that blue light keeps the brain awake, then do mindless stuff on my phone but feel bad about it >.<

what was the best (non-romantic) night you’ve had?

surprise birthday party courtesy of my best frends (!!!!), museum visits, driving quietly with the stars out, and any/all late-night chats with darwin or while traveling

what kind of covers do you have on your bed?

red sheets, brown and blue blankets, too many pillows, captain america tsum

who is the last person you told a secret to?

i don’t really have secrets. or i am a deliberately open book to cover up the (minor, inconsequential, but embarrassing) few secrets i actually have.

that's funny bc I always accidentally see it as legolas

The sleep void is a good name for it

I used to lie still for ten minutes or count to a hundred or whatever else my mum told me to do and then sit up and ask what the next step was and not understand why people were getting annoyed with me because I really really wanted it to work but it just didn’t
