What can I do with my happiness? How can I keep it, conceal it, bury it where I may never lose it? I want to kneel as it falls over me like rain, gather it up with lace and silk, and press it over myself again.

The rich colours of my writing desk and diary in the afternoon sun — a small moment from the weekend

Thinking about starting something diary adjacent. Writing notes/letters. But, I don’t know who I would address them to. It isn’t like towards an actual person, but I’m not writing to myself either, or a diary(I don’t love the Dear Diary format anyway)

Does anyone have any ideas??? Please lol

Neurodivergents writing a joke in their diary in brackets, and then drawing a winky face next to said joke - just so they can be sure the diary and any future re-reading self is aware it's a joke.

And then writing Joke in double brackets afterwards, just in case.

I bought a diary to figure out the problems in my life....

I started writing and then I realised that the only problem I did have was figuring which color diary I wanted...

All happy now

I just wrote in my diary, for the first time in a long time, and let me just say..it feels really cleansing to get everything out. This time, I will try to make it a daily routine.

Day 26- Lanayru Mountain

Perhaps dragon song sounds familiar. No matter; it’s time to get to business.

On that note, magnesis is reacquired! Purah’s still working on the other glyphs.

As a 31 year old I’m telling you, life does not end after your twenties nor are you old in your 30s. I might have a smile line or two and some new aches in my body but there is so much more life to live. If you are feeling the inevitable passing of time a little more lately, I just want you to know that it is okay if you don’t have it all figured out yet by 18, 22, 25, or any age after. And you certainly don’t have to fit any mold that society has placed in front of you. Go at your own pace, be kind to yourself.

I promise there is time left for you.

Journaling prompts to reinvent yourself ౨ৎ

how do I want the world to see me, and does it match how I see myself?

how do I show up for others, and how do they show up for me?

what about my life feels like love and what doesn't?

where does my time go, and where do I wish it would go?

who do I admire most, and what about them speaks to my soul?

is the way I live aligned with the life I dream of, or a I just coasting?

what qualities in others feel the most magnetic to me? Do I reflect those?

what’s inside my bag, and what does it say about me? (be honest, even the gum wrappers count.)

if I could script my perfect morning, how would it begin?

what passions have I ignored that I would like to reclaim?

what’s one small, powerful shift I could make today to move toward my dream life?

write a tender letter to the future version of yourself. What do you hope they’ve become, and what do you want them to remember about now?

As always, please feel free to share your own prompts and check out my insta for more of me! <3
