what are some of your favorite lego sets you have?
thanks for asking ^-^ im a big fan of the 75337 AT-TE Walker, 75315 Imperial Light Cruiser, 75394 Imperial Star Destroyer, and 10327 Atreides Royal Ornithopter!
notably i have to say the 75192 Ultimate Collector Series Millenium Falcon is NOT worth 800 dollars, at least to me, because A Lot of the construction is just surface details versus like Body Construction if that makes sense and its just really boring lol. but ya😁👍

I need to rant somewhere and here's the thing, holy fuck Holloway and Jack are ADORABLE. I'm just in chapter 5 of the second book and they already get me giggling and kicking my feet just by being themselves. I'm smiling like an idiot in public. I'm humiliated! Damn them.
1) their banter is EVERYTHING. They fought like a married couple I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. They banter so smoothly and sometimes out of topic that they forget the first topic and it's always about something so domestic like the state of Jack's room and Holloway's quirk. THEY'RE SO CUTE.
2) The communication *chef fucking kiss*. Communication is their strongest suit, honestly the other miscommunication trope can go fuck off. They tell each other when they're upset or angry and try to solve it now and here. It wasn't always easy but they always talked to each other about their feelings and other stuff. Like when H was following Jack and Aston. They laid out their feelings and sorted it out and it's SO SATISFYING. They know each other so damn well.
“Did you lie to me?” I asked.
His answer took a long time: the ticking of the snow against the windshield, the hiss of the heater, the engine’s purr. “No.”
“Did you think about it?”
He took even longer. “Yes.”
I nodded. “Could you have gotten away with it?
"Of course.” Then he shifted in his seat. Some of the Ivy League part had come loose and tumbled across his forehead. His voice held a faint note of chagrin as he added, “Until you asked me. I find it difficult to…prevaricate. With you.”
“What every boy dreams of hearing.”
3) Ariana is a cool girl and smart and really an angel who knows her worth. I like her and she deserves the World but for god sake please break up with Jack. He belongs to Holloway, please Ariana, you must see that. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
4) Jack is the best character ever. His sarcasm, his wit, his kindness, his patience — god, this guy is perfectly flawed and I love his broke ass. And I want to wrap Holloway in a fluffy blanket and hug him to death. He's adorable!!!!
5) Jack adored H so MUCH IT'S FREAKING ADORABLE. He noticed every one of H's habit and sometimes just drifted to the most romantic sweetest paragraph about how beautiful H is. LIKE STOP YOU'RE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF WITH HOW MUCH YOU'RE IN LOVE. I kid you not. I fucking love it. For example:
He (Holloway) made a frustrated noise. Then he smiled. The expression was a little stiff; he wasn’t used to doing it, and it was another of those things that he was self-conscious about. I’d read about people who get up at two or three in the morning—on vacation, no less, when they’re in Hawaii—and then they drive hours and hours, and all of it is to see the sunrise from this one specific spot, and I thought, Come to Utah if you want something worth your time.
For context, they are in Utah. Jack basically implies that H's smile is prettier than sunrise goddamn it!
6) Jack is basically 90% of Holloway's impulse control. And that's saying something since Jack doesn't even have an impulse control himself. He'll be like "you need to eat, H" and "when is the last time you sleep, H?"and "how much of Addie did you take?" And all that stuff but the next scene show Jack literally smashed at a party and almost got beaten up.
7) Jack's narrative is the funniest, I swear
Detective Rivera, one of the Utah County Sheriff’s Department’s finest and my personal law-enforcement nemesis (if he could still be a nemesis after he bought me McDonald’s), was sitting on the sofa, sending a message on his phone.
8. Jack is so proud of H whenever he did butchy thing — like, he love his asshole 😭😭
“I’ll tell him it’s a sex thing.” “Good,” Holmes said. “He’ll be pleased that all your hours of mindless pornography are finally paying dividends.” My jaw legit dropped. “H!” “Desk, please.” “That was so amazingly bitchy.” “Desk.” “And, like, also kind of evil. Which I loved.”
9. Are you fucking kidding me?
He sat there in silhouette, head down. I knew the curve of his spine. I knew the span of his shoulders. Anywhere, I thought. I could be anywhere and know you
10. The fact that every single guy in Holmes' life let him down and hurt him one way or another and Jack is the only one who cherished him 😭😭

hi woow i have a lego ask if u feel like answering one: which lego sets do u have and what are ur faves if any? and what other sets do u want to get besides the pegasus? the unicorn is soo cuute btw!!
hi yay thank you for giving me an opportunity to yap 😈 putting all this below the cut because i couldn't help myself. here are all the sets i own in the order i got them + my thoughts on them
1) 10281 Bonsai Tree
this was given to me for my birthday last year! i think this set has become an instant classic, it's such a nice looking display piece. i put it on the windowsill in my staircase which was very silly because when it gets knocked over, those loose studs go EVERYWHERE 😭
2) 31140 3-in-1 Magical Unicorn
this is my favourite set ever i love it so much! i impulse bought it in a bookshop one day because it has a seahorse and is rainbow, two of my favourite things. i've definitely gotten my money's worth with how many times i've built and rebuilt the different models. plus, on Rebrickable, there are so many custom models people have made out of these pieces! i've turned it into a rhino, a boat and a helicopter from other people's instructions. love that website.
fun fact, an hour or two after i bought this (this was before i even really started getting into lego) they released the first teaser for the Animal Crossing lego sets. the way i manifested that?
3) 21340 Tales of the Space Age
this was a christmas gift! i think it's really pretty and i love how you can change the constellation in the third one. that being said, it just feels a bit silly to have a set be so 2D like this? this could have been an art print.
4) 77050 Nook's Cranny & Rosie's House
i got this one in March! when the AC sets were announced i vowed to get all of them no matter what. i have not done this because they are very expensive for what they are and i don't love them as much as i wanted to... the minifigs are perfect but i think the way that everything is on its own little squircle base looks a bit messy. that being said, as someone who grew up loving Animal Crossing but never had any merch because it was still pretty niche, my inner child was very happy building this set :) i really enjoy how you can change the layout of the furniture in the house and all the individual outdoor pieces.
4a/4b) 30662 Maple's Pumpkin Garden and 30635 Beach Cleanup
these two little sets came for free with the previous one! the Animal Crossing one is cute, kinda whatever though. it's pretty much just an add-on to the main sets. love Maple ❤️
the Friends one though? i held off on building it so i could have it to cheer me up some day i was feeling low. when i finally did build it i fell in love with it! it's just really colourful and cutesy. my first job was actually litter picking by the seaside so it's so bizarre and coincidental that i ended up with this. i've attached this set beside Rosie's house to try and incorporate it into my little Animal Crossing town. i guess Aliya is the player? Pascal looks different though 🧐
i will say though that this set does feel very greenwashy. i follow some sea glass collectors on instagram and they're always finding lego bricks washed up on the shore... i can't really talk because i'm out here buying their products but i do feel a bit guilty sometimes. but also life is short and i'm just trying to be happy. idk. surprise ethical discourse 🤩
Sets I want
i've ordered a few more Animal Crossing sets, namely Dodo Airlines and the Town Hall, because i want to have a little Animal Crossing town (and also just so i could get that damn pegasus 😑). i am also really looking into Lego Friends because i think they have some beautiful and interesting buildings in that theme, and the commitment to inclusion and representation just feels really nice. but yeah. stay tuned for more unwise financial decisions
#lego#thank you for the ask i loved answering this#as i'm sure you can tell dkjdjfj#ask#i had more lego sets as a child but unfortunately i don't have them anymore due to Circumstances#i might actually make another post about those sometime because i LOVE living in the past 🤩

So what was the last non-sexual thing that caught your hyperfixation? What’s your current interest?
This answers both lmfao.
The band Waterparks, started in the middle of last year very slight with 1-2 songs that hit for me at the time and reminded me of how I was feeling during that period but then evolved as soon as dec - January where it really blossomed started out as curiosity and I have since run down the rabbit hole. *awsten knight’s* ^aka the singer of Waterparks I’ve been collecting his own clothing brand they drop a piece every week and they’re limited to 300 each drop they get sold in literal mere seconds I WISH I WAS JOKING. Its a bloodbath but thanks to this one account on Twitter I follow I’m able to get some pieces ahead of the drop because she guesses passwords which is her thing which helps a shit ton. But sometimes you HAVE to fight for your life if you want that piece. Thank god for PayPal pay immediately lmao but sometimes even that is too slow. People are quick as fuck. But it’s fun. and I’ve managed to get a few not all of this season’s drop. But still little wins! I’m so excited to receive this one tee I bought over the weekend it’s going to be here on the 20th! I’ll have to show it off as soon as it comes! You’ll have to remind me. I’ve got so many *3* good investment because they’re kinda limited as well. vinyls of the same damn album (intellectual property) because awsten said to lmfao and they’re diff colors. I also have a bitten CD by the band for one of the singles off the album and I have another cd of intellectual property with 2 bonus songs on it. recently not too long ago collected the “greatest hits vinyl it glows in the dark* and “fandom” I’m hoping to collect “entertainment” on vinyl but they’re all so expensive on eBay a little bit but I want a unique color so bad and they’re so hard to find kinda and then get the cluster CD. I need to get a CD player now that I think about it... Collecting merch as of recent this girl from texas managed to get me a t shirt and some booty shorts I’m so excited about wearing because I wasn’t able to get them when I went for the show. It was packed as fuck (I also met them a few weeks ago DIDNT go as planned like at all but still was a good time) :,) but I also have grown a major crush on the singer but that’s aside from the fact lol.
Other than that I’ve also been tryna get certain clothing items I think are so sick that awsten wears that I think would look better on me so that’s what I’ve gotten recently is some nike air trainer 1 sp’s c: and I fucking love them. I got some that fit but now I’m tryna sell like two pairs I impulse bought that I thought would fit me that don’t 😭 curse men’s sizes for not fitting women’s feet like the size chart claims. But it’s all good. That’s all as of recent. Besides finding new music (I’m adding to my Spotify playlists that I absolutely hate making but enjoy it in a way) and trying to clear my head - taking a step back and thinking things through and figuring out what I want and what’s best for me personally without anyone else’s judgment clouding my decisions. Im wanting better relationships for myself. Setting healthy boundaries and realizing my worth is all. Not being easily accessible anymore. :)
I hope this answered fuck I’m so sorry for tangenting. (Also trying not to apologize for myself or my emotions / feelings as they’re valid even though I just did lol)

confessions of a junkorexic
march 14, 2023 | entry #3
🩷☠️🖤☠️🩷☠️🖤☠️🩷☠️🖤☠️🩷☠️🖤☠️
in a pitiful attempt to make my daily logs seem a little less depressing, i’ve decided to give my “blogs” a fun name…now introducing Confessions of a Junkorexic (so original i know) i feel like it’s just so me—what can i say? my philosophy has always been “if i’m gonna starve myself i at least deserve to actually enjoy the food that i do eat” i simply cannot help that i’m a true #foodaddict at heart :’-(
kinda sorta forgot to log yesterday but i’m not sweating since nothing worth documenting happened anyways—i did however start a seven day jump rope challenge! after learning that jump roping is a surefire way to burn fat i immediately went to Amazon and impulsively bought a new jump rope 😭 and to ensure that my impulse buy wouldn’t go to waste i scoured the internet for any fun challenges and came across this seven day challenge where you do 1k jumps a day and add 100 jumps everyday (ex. day 1 = 1,000 jumps, day 2 = 1,100 jumps, day 3 = 1,200 jumps, etc…) hopefully this mini challenge will act as a kickstarter for me to finally start finding the energy to get my lazy ass up and start exercising again sooooo fingers crossed i can actually keep this up for the full seven days 🤞🏾
today was a liquid fast day so my intake was relatively low (thank god)—i’m currently on day 14 of the Get Worse Diet and i’m honestly shocked i’ve managed to stay consistent this long—granted the earlier days have the highest intake maxes so of course they’d be significantly easier to achieve compared to the 350 cals and less days coming up soon, but i digress, i can give myself credit where credit is due *pats self on the back*—i’m finding that it has been a lot easier to keep my intake low when i’m liquid fasting vs when i water fast or just restrict in general (so far at least)—tomorrow i’m scheduled to do a water fast but honestly i think it would be in my best interest to just keep the liquid fast going for one more day—i’d rather bend the rules a little than set myself up for a potential binge :/
my food log app says that if i keep up the pattern i’ve had for the last few weeks i’m almost guaranteed to reach my ugw by christmas! reaching my ugw would hands down be the best christmas gift i’ve ever received in my life!!!
praying that the ana gods bless me 🙏🏾

hcs for rime and felix dealing with an mc who wears jfashion like fairy kei? super self indulgent but pls. or an mc who wants to get into it but is worried ppl will judge them
— rime and felix with an mc into j-fashion
ohhh a lot of j-fashion scratches my brain good choice !! if ur worried about people judging just remember there's also people who'd be in awe and appreciation . u r the person i'd see in public and be like Wish that was Me...wish we were friends...
very different from either of their own styles but they support it fr!
they'd probably ask about the history behind it and why they dress that way but at the end of the day ! cool person with cool style
if we're talking about astraea,, i don't think fairy kei fashion would be Easy To Find. if possible?? but they'd sure go looking! if all else fails it's time to use capitalism and pay someone baby
as somebody whose friends constantly say "Do it. Buy it right now." ,, neither of them seem like good impulse control
other than rime stopping them with stuff like "that won't suit you as well as the other top"
on the bright side that means mc can't easily back out of buying some pieces that fit the aesthetic
rime is the friend who doesn't back down and aggressively compliments you. it's the "shut the hell up are you serious you'd pull that off so well buy it right now." y'know
like mc already looks good in the clothes they have. imagine if they wore things that they really liked and felt confident in. come on you know you want to
and it may be the complete opposite of everything felix has going on but that just means he empathizes with their fear
felix :handshake: mc two sides of the same coin
they can be like the meme with the black and pink houses !
felix and mc making a deal to indulge in their interests as long as the other does while they're out shopping
if anybody sends looks their way felix and rime are now on either side of them and glaring back/distracting them
also i don't think mc would be the only person they'd look at. jumping from looking at them to felix to rime and it's just like oh . an alt/queer friend group HLEPSFJAD
they also just,, act normally. do you know what i mean . like when you feel like you're standing out but your friends just accept it and you kinda forget about your anxiety . yeah
anyway they also compliment mc's outfits all the time
especially little accessories or details that they notice so mc knows it's sincere
also i know wigs/dyed hair? are part of fairy kei and i do think they'd help manage them . you might be like Felix?? but he'd try his best he's careful when he needs to be/mc asks i think :[
if they notice mc feeling a little nervous or insecure they're reassuring them and reminding them that they Look Good!!!! anybody who thinks otherwise is dumb and not worth their time!
rime says something along the lines of everybody looking boring so mc is always a sight for his sore eyes
if they saw mc wearing something one of them bought they'd feel honoured and Accomplished :100:
tbh the both of them would probably buy things just so they can go "i hope i'll get to see you wearing this some time soon :)" and now everybody wins
felix and rime arguing over what mc should wear 😭 they're so annoying /j mc asks what shoes would pair better with their outfit and rime is calling felix an idiot for ever thinking those sneakers are better than his own choice
"what do you know" technically neither of you know anything about this fashion style but carry on i guess
#last legacy#last legacy headcanons#last legacy rime#last legacy felix#fictif felix#fictif rime#felix escellun#rime varela#felix iskandar escellun#rime solano varela

Full on ax overview below the cut
Despite the crowds I actually thought this was one of the most fun anime expos for me and I've been going since 2011. Though I mainly go for the artist alley and exhibit hall to buy stuff, don't really pay attention to panels so I can't say anything for those. People kept complaining about lines to get in and waited an hour but there was literally an entrance that NEVER had a line and staff was constantly telling people to go to the other entrance but I guess I can understand how confusing it is if you're not from the area. I never waited more than 5 minutes to get in. The problem was that everyone would just follow the crowds and not really look anywhere else 😭
It was hot this year but not NEARLY as bad as past years. Though I don't think they were running the air conditioning that well in exhibit hall the first 2 days bc I was on fire. The hottest it got was like 85 but I've been to cons when it was like 100s outside so it was more tolerable.
I will say the crowd vibes were super weird and people did smell bad. God especially when I went into the 18+ section 😭 luckily I had my mask on the whole weekend so that kinda helped? Exhibit hall doesn't really sell anything I care about anymore :( it's just the same demon slayer Hatsune Miku and dragon ball figures it's been for like the last 6+ years and it's kinda boring.
Artist alley had SOOOO many amazing artists. I couldn't find much aot fanart and the one booth I did find one but I already bought all their stuff before JGFUDJSJDJ.
I tried to go to cosplay meetups the first 2 days and staff did NOT know how to help people navigate to them at all. I missed a fruits basket gathering bc staff told me to go the wrong direction completely even when I showed a picture of the location :') I tried to go to a genshin meetup but the location was too small and too crowded and it created a fire hazard so they canceled it 20 mins in 🥲 aaaaand there was an aot meetup but I was so frustrated that I just gave up trying to go to them so hffhdhshchfh
I went to the 21+ area and got a couple drinks and maybe gotten a little hammered aaaaand impulsively made stupid financial decisions chdjdjfjfjfjfjvj and like....this group of guys kept trying to ask me and my friend questions and they were being uh a little sus haha 😬 (I thought I wouldn't have to deal with m*n if I dressed up like one BUT I WAS WRONG)
I BOUGHT AO MUCH SHIT YALL I saved up 2 months worth of tips for this con and I spent like...80% of that fund...🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲😭😭🥲 but WORTH IT BC the stuff I bought was so pretty aaaaaaAAA
ALSO ALSO people liked my cosplay and I was so happy. There were a lot of Yor cosplayers so I mostly stuck with Thoma for the weekend and 🥺 attention from women 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 loved it 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I wasn't expecting ppl to ask for my ig but it happened a couple of times so I panicked and gave my art IG and TURNED OUT THEY WERE ARTISTS TOOO so that was cool!!! There were a lot of amazing cosplayers and I got too shy to ask for pics But I WISH I DID BC....THERE WERE AMAZING KUROO AND KENMA....AND XIAO AND ITTO I M DJDJDHDHDHDH and a couple of Thomas were like "AYYYY THOMA" Hehe...I didddddd get a pics with a lot Ayaka and Ayato ones too uwuOH AND CHILDE
There were def a few guys that tried to act like...idk 😭😭 so weird when I was cosplaying as Yor and just said the most random shit to me and all I did was laugh uncomfortably gjfjdjdjsj
Artist alley was crowded as fuck though and the people were SOOOO pushy at some points. Like not even saying excuse me or anything...I got cut in line a lot and I don't like to be confrontational but the people I went with were def getting annoyed.
Overall though I a had a lot of fun. I keep seeing people say people weren't checking vaccine cards and stuff but at least the first day they were pretty diligent about checking them, and people would boot you out if you didn't have a wristband signifying you were confirmed already.
BUT YAAAAA the complaints Abt the crowd and lines is like...kinda whatever to me like I didn't think people would be surprised? AX is notorious for the crowds and especially after 2 years this was gonna be the worst one for that. I'm probably gonna go back next year bc it's one of the ones that I enjoy the most like there's SOOOO many amazing cosplayers on a much bigger scale than a lot of other cons and the artists that get in are so talented. I'm REALLY hoping I can grab a table FOR SURE next year 😭 WELL SEE YEAH idk if you read this far wow I am sorry LMAO
#leyatax#oops i typed a lot just warning u#definitely gonna post pictures of what i bought later eeee

I'm so mad that they cancelled it but ugh at least they slayed whit those special effects really took that one from the original exorcist (who also has bomb special effects for the time)
And yes I did! Impulsive buy a couple of day's ago but I have a silly little DVD player so I take care of stocking up on DVDs
Now i just bought the exorcist complete TV series on DVD and a special ten year anniversary DVD of inglorious basterds (thank fuck I'm getting my paycheck in two days hahah)
ooooo that's so cool i wish i had a dvd collection 😭😭😭😭 we need to bring those back the thought that most ppl just pay monthly money ro a streaming service and never actually own a permanent copy of a movie makes me sooo... i have a shit ton of shows and movies downloaded but i think i only bought uhmm... xmen fc and dofp, rdj sherlock 1 and 2 and rocketman (twice💀) plus hannibal? but im probably gonna get a Winchester so i can store the downloaded stuff better. and holy fuck yeah that doesn't sound cheap dlkdjdkddj but it's so worth it i love holding dvds. it's just like. lmao my movie now!!!

September
yet another late post LMAO the joke is i actually managed to remember i have to post something during the passing of September but i kinda procrastinated. also for real this time i had things to do and quite lots of stuffs going on (maybe, i'll pass on the judgement to you guys)
so, as usual: hello how are you? hoping everything's well, everyone's doing good and healthy, and living life most importantly! here's a September recap, finally served at October 6th lol
not long after i posted my August log, my dad made an impulsive decision (he's just like me fr (or am i like him?)) to bring the fam to Bali! the timing was perfect, he had a work call and seminars for a week, and it was held during his birthday week. why not go for a staycation when the office's paying for accommodation (god bless Central Bank of Indonesia) and flight tickets weren't that pricey?
can you really believe my dad made that decision only a day before his supposed flight? you can imagine the chaos especially having to pack out suitcases and then me and my sister had to use our annual leave days since we're both working adults now (how time flies) but thankfully we made it to Bali safe and sound.
it wasn't our first time visiting Bali, so we didn't go tourist mode and just kinda went to restaurants we haven't tried. we celebrated my dad's birthday by going to family favorite seafood restaurant at Jimbaran beach, trying some of the finest cuisines. we (actually more me lol) didn't waste any food the hotel sent us, i love to try everything that is on the menu, i call myself something like a hotel and wedding menu connoisseur hehehe. all we did was eat to be honest, our family is so heavily leaning on the culinary side of the trip, all of us gained weight even just after spending a week there, ha!
the highlight of the journey is actually me meeting my internet friends!!! two Balinese dentists i became friends with through EXO-L stan twitter and they were our tour guide for a day. i'm all about mountains and beaches and nature so they directed us to Kintamani, Badung, Panglipuran which is where the highlands are at the island. we had lunch, went to a cultural village, talked for hours as we drove around the island (Kuta is in the southern part, while the places we visited are literally strewn all over the other side of the island lol) my mum bought us three sterling silver rings with frangipani ornament, it's like a Hippocratic graduation gift and also friendship rings for us... it's a day like no other. we were so happy!
the whole week during sunset i just watched the shoreline and the faraway horizon... the sound of the waves was so relaxing and peaceful i kinda got reminded that's the reason (and the only reason, as a thalassophobic person) i love the sea. we stayed at Sheraton Kuta, which is located at the sunset road, directly on the outskirts of Kuta beach, so all these ethereal views i get to witness just by looking out of our room. i almost didn't want to go back.
OH AND the superstar of the journey is all of us went to Lovina beach to see the dolphins! not gonna lie i genuinely think this tourist activity is actually animaI abuse since it's literally speed motorboats, loads of them, circling the natural habitat of these dolphins... all those noise pollutions and breaking into their environment... just to see a few dolphins swam up to the surface for thirty seconds. i just hope this doesn't harm them to the point of irreparable damage 😭 but overall, driving from Kuta to Buleleng at 2 AM was worth it, we got to see breathtaking sunrise from the middle of the sea with mountains at the background. that's more my scene than the beach clubs that Bali is always so popular for.
then after a blissful week at Bali, i had to go back to work [sighs] seeing patients, prepared legal documents, supervise another house renovation, housekeeping, blah blah blah. same old, yet still giving me the anxiety downer every single time. to no one's surprise the weight gain i had from the Bali trip was gone in a flash lol not to mention i'm doing clean eating now, as per my dermatovenerologist advised me to do. that means bye bye Indomie, french fries dipped in McFlurry, takeouts... but well, for my wellbeing, gotta do what i gotta do, right? [insert me rattling the chains of my cage]
it's October already and wow. how time flies x2. i can't believe x2. it's like if you take a second to really see things, day to day life is so minuscule compared to the years we've lived, we've passed. a second is a second but there are moments where it can either be stretched out so long or just burst up in flames as it rolled. no matter how much i've planned or projected one or five years forward, i really don't know what's going to happen. kinda scary, uncertainty is always like that, but is it weird i start to enjoy it a little bit?
it's giving me the chance to truly live in the moment, carpe diem and seize the day thingies starting to make sense to me. it's charging on to whatever the day brings us with whatever we have on hand. this helps soothe my worrying habit, as i keep the only worry what we have to worry for the day mantra. it made me less scared yet more precise in decision making. i'm able to identify my impulsive and intrusive thoughts apart, and how to handle them. next month i'll be a quarter a century old, but i'm not sure how many days i can say i've truly lived in. hoping i can get enough to tell stories to my kids (and grandkids) later (ha.)
and that's it for September! did i have lots going on? maybe not much... but again, i'm all for boring days, remember? that's my comfort zone. fingers crossed for immersing ourselves in every second we live, with no regret and overflowing with what we need! see you guys soon :)
#alhamdulillah#i love life as it is and as it gets#i think that's the recipe of enjoying life#a day in the life
