hear me out on this one - i got a bit lost on a walk recently and ended up getting caught in a rosebush, and later that day ended up skinning my knee in a race against some friends because i was going downhill way too fast (i won so all is fair in love and war i guess) and just. something about getting childish minor injuries like scraped knees and bruises and scratches from little misadventures makes me feel so nostalgic? i feel like a five year old girl climbing trees and falling out of them again. i kind of miss it.

a few years i went into a very calm moshpit at a concert just because i hadn't done it before and got so many bruises on my knees from getting pushed down (they picked me up immediately). it felt so nice to feel alive
anything that connects you to your childhood is good for the soul and the mind

i recently hung out with a friend and we were talking about all the adventures we used to go on as kids, and how simple there were looking back on them. running along railroads, looking for cool rocks in creeks, climbing trees, etc. it feels stupid to complain about losing that sense of adventure as an adult when it's still right there, exactly where we left it when we decided we were too cool for it as 13-year-olds. so basically all this to say, go find a railroad, climb some trees, maybe graffiti a train. you'll see that the childlike sense of adventure is still there, still a part of you. you just have to tap back in and let your imagination loose. be the self proclaimed katniss everdeen that 13 year old you could only dream of and hope to become 🙂↕️🙂↕️

i decided to bike around with an old route i used to whereabout as a child since i’m a litol down 🥺
for me, visiting a childhood spot/playground is sentimental and it heals a piece of your inner child in some way. (at least for me, might not be for everyone)
i like wall climbing as a working adult now so that after biking around, i remember that this is the first place i tried a mini wall climbing here as a child.
got teary-eyed because i‘ve been feeling a stranger to myself lately and some old places will remind you of the good times, who you used to be, and that no matter how different times are, you’ll remember how you used to like the stuff you’ve been doing now and/or before. i can’t help but to remind myself, it was there all along.

there’s a story behind every scar, and that’s awesome
sad, funny, forgotten, they’re still a record of the life you lived and you’re still around to show proof of your past and that you have made it so far
i have a scar on my knee from running away from a kangaroo, i then tripped and fell on gravel and i was so scared lol
i most likely would have forgotten that memory, but the scar is still there to remind me about how young i was when it happened

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 ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )~✩‧₊

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
