Daily carries.

Need to keep reminding myself of the importance of ritual in my life. When I forget it, when I forget myself, I find myself feeling so adrift. Like I’ve lost something. Ritual grounds me in a way few things do. Writing as a ritual. Fragrance as a ritual. Water breaks as a ritual. Lip balm because I perpetually forget that last one.

[13/100] days of productivity

I've been really into this task of copying all the good stuff i screenshotted into my commonplace journal. The screenshots started in September 2023 and now I'm transcribing things from June 2024.

I'm slowly catching up!

[17/100] days of productivity

Sunday...do I need to say more?

House chores, a long walk in nature, a little second hand book haul and then just relax for the rest of the day.

currently: reading carnivorously Lady Chatterley's Lover, mentally preparing myself for my next read (i.e. Babysitter), eating pokè, enjoying the warm weather and sunny days, wearing wide leg jeans + my bf botton downs, and starting a commonplace journal.

[12/100] days of productivity

Spent hours copying quotes and other random things collected during the months―thanks to my "obsessive screenshotting mania"―into my commonplace journal.

So relaxing. Almost therapeutic. I recommend.
