it’s like all the human tendency to pour love & care into our physical spaces was condensed into this 1 tiny little box,,, a space which happens 2 be entirely non-human…….. these fish r living in an underwater paradise where all their needs r met,, and i am sitting in an uncomfortable chair under bright lights listening to some mother read a story to her son, specifically banning him from looking @ the pictures (baffling), & some old ladies gossip ruthlessly about their neighbour while watching the gameshow on the tv that overlooks the whole scene. i wonder whether the fish like it here

my bf and I have been living together for almost 2 years now and we are looking into getting a 40 gallon tank for our apartment and get some really cute fresh water fish. I visited a exotic fish store in my city and fell in love. Now I need an epic fish tank with Japanese eels and live coral to admire. The sound of bubbles and hues of green & blue are also very calming! As far as pricing all it really takes is a great Facebook market place find and I have seen the coolest fish run for $5 each. My goal is to raise an eel, some star fish, and a colony of coral. I need tedious responsibility in my life constantly so hope this along with my dogs can keep be busy!

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
