there were only two options & neither were hedgehogs, but i’ll take what i can get. & this is genuinely so accurate.….
deviant art description reads “A reference pic for my male sea dragon Nikau, who is the fat and walrus-like stay-at-home husband of Kailani, and originating from oceans down under. Although he may come across as lazy and shiftless, he is in fact a devoted father and dutiful husband, being the one who spends most of his time in the inland lake, raising the children whilst his wife patrols their territory of sea that surrounds the island. However, despite his normally gentle and docile nature, Nikau is himself a force to be reckoned with whenever someone threatens those closest to him and will be one of the first to lead the charge.” i aammmm destined 2 b a lazy but lovely homemaker, protecting the peace of me & mine….

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!!!!!!!
