I can without a doubt share that I've been practicing this consistently so far this week. Joined a gym for my health, hoping it betters both my body and the way I view my body overall. I took a bubble bath this week with a charcoal mask, two candles and a good book! I even indulged in using my newly purchased body scrubs! My recent choice in facewash has even cleared up my skin (thank you, work and KN95 masks).

This evening my S/O helped with hanging the last physical influence of my recently passed Grammy within my office. This beautiful wooden shelf, equipped with hooks and a carved out heart shape, hangs just above my middle bookshelf. It's now home to all of my Harry Potter pop vinyl dolls. Grammy had her various seasonal figurine neighborhoods on this shelf constantly and I deemed it only fitting!

After lining them all up, I've concluded I definitely need more (and always will!) Here, take a look!

They have the best view in the room and I can finally breathe knowing everything is where it should be in my comfortable, yellow office.

I took time for some leisure reading this afternoon as well. Accompanied by a cup of tea, white candle and soft background music. I intend to do more right after finishing this blog post!

Self love is radiating out of my pores and I'm embracing every moment of it! 🥰

Everyone's Relatable

Fredrik Backman's Anxious People is a 2019 publication, translated into English in 2021. This novel was nothing I had expected it to be based on the synopsis of a desperate individual who turned to robbing a bank in order to overcome current life circumstances. The novel follows a number of characters and their current livelihoods; individuals "held up" as hostages in the middle of an apartment showing which took place before the New Year holiday. I was impressed with the attention to detail Backman was able to portray, not necessarily in backdrops of locations but between the different characters' thoughts/lifestyles throughout the piece. What I expected of an individual in the beginning was not relatable to what was uncovered/divulged to the reader towards the middle/end of the novel. This novel did follow the actions of a woman (not identified gender-wise until late into the novel) who chose to rob a bank in order to retrieve financial means t...

If you're looking for a novel similar to Gone Girl , I believe you've found it when considering Stephanie Wrobel's suspense- thriller, Darling Rose Gold . Based in a present-day small town, this story follows that of an "overprotective" mother caring for her "sick" daughter--in reality, her mother was poisoning her for years in order to gain the sympathy of others. Although, it wasn't necessarily sympathy the mother was going for but more so praise. She wanted the appraisal of others for all of the "hard work" and "dedication" she'd been giving her ill daughter. When realization set in of what was actually going on, Rose Gold sent her mother, Patty, to prison for five years of child abuse/ endangerment. It was her single testimony, along with witnesses' inputs and evidence, that fixed Patty's fate. Five years later, Patty's out of prison . . . and staying with Rose Gold and her infant son, Adam. Things a...

April 19th Poetry Prompt: Write a poem without using pronouns

Don't for the past 10 months the 19th day (between 30 + 31 of those accounted for) has been the most difficult for so many reasons death isn't easy especially in the aftermath + to think differently should fain ignorance sympathy is an honest tactic until pity seeps in (which doesn't suffice) actions are louder than words however these words spoke volumes in an attempt to quit bullshitting relationships were halted-- relationships in which happiness/ brightness/giving was demanded-- to harbor for one let alone all was inhumane so snip in response: no wedding invitations (something to smile at + not mean) to stop wallowing in sadness + own pity + emotionally invest in the happiness of other recipients around -- to fake it + make it for a group effort in other words: get the fuck over it + stop letting shit fly by be happy for all around because emotions were contorted due to the decision to guard + - hope to hear a cons...
