#take rest

Apparently you all, just like me, need periodic reminders to go to sleep on time, so here is yours. Go get some rest, loves, it's not selfish or unproductive of you, it's not you wasting time that you could be enjoying, it's something you really, really need.

Good Omens fandom, here's a miracle for you, and for everyone else reading this post, too. Let there be rest. I hope your muscles loosen up, I hope your breaths even out, I hope your bones don't ache so much anymore. I hope the pain takes a step back, lets you feel ease before you lay your head down. I hope you fall asleep without too much effort, slipping into quiet dreams that you won't remember when you wake up, but you know they made you smile. I hope you gather enough strength to wake up and live without too much pain. Let there be rest.

I know there are people reading this with their eyes burning and spine hurting just like me so it's time to go to sleep now, okay? Whenever you see this post, if you haven't slept properly, do it as soon as you can. If you see this ages before you go to sleep, think about it when you have to, okay? These wishes will wait for you. Don't worry. Do your best to sleep.

Maybe when you wake up, a nightingale will sing.

Goodnight, now. I love you.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Most of the items you are first tasked to find in June's Journey can be easily spotted in obvious places but as you progress the difficulty will quickly increase as the game starts to play visual tricks with you. Instead of scrutinizing an intricate design pattern try to refocus and look at the big picture as more often than not what you are looking for will be hiding in plain sight.

Check the Decor

When you see an object listed that does not fit the current scene it's time to carefully inspect the decor as it may be a piece of furniture or decor such as a lamp or door knocker that has been designed to look like the item you are looking for.

Note Strange Items

Make a note of any strange items you are asked to find as you will be playing levels multiple times and there is a good chance those items will repeat and quickly finding it when the clues pop up will give you a chance to maximise your score. Playing through each scene without any long breaks inbetween will help with this.

Think Laterally

Not all the things that you are asked to find will be an item, there will be instances were it may be in a picture that is in frame or hidden in the design pattern of a piece of decor.

New Clues

More items will appear with each new star of ranking you obtain which will fill up the scene with more distractions. Pay attention to new items that appear on the object list that were not there before as there is a good chance they will be a new clue.

Take your Time

Although you can earn bonuses for finding items quickly the game is intended to be relaxing and enjoyable so don't feel you have to rush through. You will have a limited amount of energy to use so take your time and let the energy refill so you can have more goes.

Take a Break

Once you start to feel frustrated it's time to take a break from the game. When you return later with rested eyes you will be able to have a fresh look.

"Let your mind and heart rest for a while. You will catch up, the world will not stop spinning for you, but you will catch up. Take a rest." - Cynthia Go//note to self. Finally posting after two months and does it come by as a surprise that it's a picture of my coffee? I mean, what's life without caffeine and what's life without hiatuses. Breaks are so important, trust me! I have for forever, been such a huge hustle enthusiast that at times, despite being evidently burnt out I kept pedaling. And there's nothing cool about it. There's nothing cool about tiring yourself to an extent where creativity isn't actually fun anymore and more of a chore.

Yes, you need to keep pushing yourself, you need to keep working toward that dream, and yes, you need to keep hustling BUT not at the cost of yourself. After all, how would you taste success with a burnt tongue? So take that break if you feel like! Just switch off everything, just take a step back, and just breathe for a while. And then come back rejuvenated, with an energy that can not only propel yourself further but even others around you.
