complete non-sequitur, as is everything that come out of my mouth at this point, but i came across this song the other day and it fits the very specific niche of like, nostalgic-sounding vocaloid (it sounds very specifically like it was produced in the earlyish 2010s - i don't know how to describe it exactly but if you've listened to a little bit of the genre you might know what i mean?) but also kinda wistful jazz? i know voice synthesiser's aren't everyone's cup of tea but if it sounds like it might be up your alley, would recommend checking this song out! βΛβΉβ«

there's obviously the whole culture and fandom and the ways people characterise the characters themselves, which is a whole other matter (gotta stan KAITO, what a dork) but even just from a music perspective, i've been listening to so much of it again lately (my thirteen year old self would be delighted to hear it) and people are so creative i love it! there are so many really talented producers and project sekai has been somewhat of a gateway into me finding new ones (like the producer r-906 and the song heat abnormal) :)

i've been doing little things to make my life a little easier, like leaving a bottle of water, iron supplements and some belvita soft bakes right by my bed so i always have breakfast, water and iron in the morning, and keeping a very condensed set of skincare stuff right by my toothbrush - it might not be as effective as having more but getting myself to use a cleanser, moisturising sunscreen and vaseline every day has already made my skin feel so much better which has just gotten me more excited to do my routine every day. plus, getting body sprays and haircare stuff and just products in general that you really like the smell of is a game changer because now i get to smell like pineapples and caramel every day! it's such little things but it makes me happy and keeps me doing a routine of things that are good for me :))

i love wearing clothes with fun colours and comfy textures, i feel like it just makes you so much happier walking past mirrors! i got this handmade chunky rainbow sweater with this lovely criss-cross decorative stitching on the outside that makes it look fun and patchworked, and something about the colours just makes me so happy! same with dungarees, i can't believe i only recently picked up a pair because they really do make you feel like the plucky main characters from the books we read at age eleven ( ΛΆΛαΛΛ΅ )~β©β§β

i went through my instagram and looked at all the posts and all the slides and wow, my friends all look so happy. i miss being the person who takes a million photos because i captured so many happy moments. that side of me still comes out in certain friend groups but theese days i feel like i have less inclination of reach for my camera. some people say it's living in the moment but for me part of living in the moment is the craving to capture it. people criticise social media for only showing the good parts of life, and i absolutely get that, but it's fun to look at when it's yours and you forget how whimsical and lovely life can be sometimes.
lot of yap to say that i love taking photos and i adore my friends but it's par for the course at this point <3
