i’ve never really had anyone buy me flowers, and i always felt kinda sad about it. but omfg, buying yourself flowers (i know, v cheesy miley cyrus) is so much better. they just brighten up your space and make you feel so happy, and you can literally just buy them whenever you want.
these are from my local grocery store and there’s nothing i love more than wild african flowers (proteas and fynbos), i’m so happy whenever i see them.

As a child growing up with brothers and as the fat black kid, i never considered myself feminine. Even when i lost weight in middle school and went to an all girls high school, looking girly or being more “feminine” was just not something i thought about.
I feel like recently, i wanted to explore that more, as this pull to dress and appear more feminine has become super strong. Having a house to decorate in any way I can, actually starting to feel better about my body to wear skirts again, etc has really influenced me. But my fears are that it may portray trad wife or child’s play; I’m nervous of stares or being questioned about my views if i were to give such a strong appearance of a girly woman.
But some of my inspirations have been strolling through vintage creators and small japanese insta accounts with super pink and fluffy aesthetics.
Hopefully i will build up the courage

i saw something a tad bit politically upsetting this morning through a reposted TikTok, and when i looked up the story in the news, what the TikTok said about this political issue could not be substantiated, but only implied and rumored.
I’m kinda peeved because short form media has really allowed people to become media illiterate and spread things that are either lies or unsupported claims, because they know people aren’t going to read a 3-4 paragraph article on a news site and disseminate information on their own.
Something I have learned in therapy is to kinda look at more things in life as neutral, and not go into black and white thinking before making a decision. Take time to act on something (when it’s possible) and take things at face value most days. Being in an elevated state of emotion when doing something is not usually good.
I just wish other people could do that today, because sometimes it feels like I’m the only person in my realm who can.

was there for 3 days to see a friend, and I loved the sites and the hospitality I received. I was trying to find my hotel and an older man saw me confused and he offered to walk me to the street where my hotel was. I was surprised, but thankful. Also public transportation was so accessible there.
I’m hoping to see my friend again this year, and i hope to do more there. Plus i was not able to see the whole art museum
