helps me get back to trusting in myself, the universe, and the fact that love is everywhere. also an exercise in patience (otherwise i will burn my tongue on this apple spice chai) and a mid-work break to come back to myself

Highly recommend as a palate cleanser. you need to decompress. Being alone does the trick. And just enjoy it.

We all learn to accept it in our own time. There is something special about sitting still, reading, having a glass of water, doing yoga…even just cleaning/cooking and having a podcast on.
Taking a walk, going to a bookstore/record shop…anything that will let you be present and get off your phone 🩷

i've found that overloading myself with things to distract me from the thoughts i don't want to have only results in feeling more anxious and scattered. you gotta sit with the feeling and give it a chance to take up space in your body and be acknowledged. then u can address the way forward

undoubtedly my favorite conversational invocation. i use it a lot and i love to hear it.
imploring someone to tell you more shows such deep interest, attention, and love! curiosity is always the answer; learn more before you pass a judgment.

there’s something quite melancholy and cathartic about it, like wow, I’m old enough and I’ve been living in this neighborhood long enough to start to be recognized as a familiar face. i love that i can walk into my favorite coffee shop and be greeted as a friend, by baristas who know exactly my coffee particularities but don’t frown if i want something different from my usual order. it feels especially comforting on days i miss home and feel kind of alone, kind of afraid of being an adult. being a regular is feeling seen and known even by relative strangers, with whom you can connect over a comforting drink or meal! this is just one of the ways i love to cultivate a sense of home and community in my coming-of-age years— it’s so grounding to experience familiarity especially when you’re adjusting to living alone, recently moved to a new city, or otherwise needing to feel settled during tumultuous times!

idk about you all but the second i get home i will be putting sweats or lounge clothes on. these clothes only see the indoors and are never exposed to the Outside City. god forbid my jeans or slacks touch my clean cozy bed!! let alone shoes... might be the asian grandmother influencing me but i find it a terrible crime to wear shoes in the house. a pair of slippers is much more comfortable! i find changing into a cozier outfit provides a wonderful mental transition into the coziness/safety of home PLUS it makes me feel extra put together, stylish, and focused when i'm goin out!! effectively switches my brain between work mode and relaxed mode.
