very basic answer, but i had to wake up at 6am after only two and a half hours of sleep today for a shift and seeing the sunrise genuinely changed the whole trajectory of my morning. it was so pretty and i was so in awe i forgot to be miserable (i was so engrossed in trying to get a good picture that i missed my bus and got to work late so these photos are premium content y'all, i don't know if the camera will do it justice but it was this brilliant, super saturated pink bleeding into a pretty purple around the edges)

when you wake up early and see the winter sun at a long sunrise angle,, then realize that being one of a late-rising proclivity, this experience is much less common than observing a sunset with a beer at 7 or 8 pm in mid spring near the 49th parallel. being so rare, it relates itself much closer in my mind to these waning twilight moments, making me feel as if i just had risen from a mid-afternoon many houred nap, then a sense of pre-regret for my insomniac midnight self though it is really only 8:30 in the am...
pic somewhat related i was making fun of people for stopping in the middle of main mall to take pictures with jaw afloor as if they had never seen the end of a diurnal cycle before, for coolness's sake i felt the need to take the position of haughtiness but then about two minutes later succombed to the same fate as these individuals, because it really was a master class in carnation and lilac framed above the recently violently eviscerated bushes and shrubs on the section of university boulevard that rises towards the fountain

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
