listen to your heart! journaling ideas

emotional check-in: write about your current feelings. no judgment, no editing, no need to be aesthetically pleasing, just let your heart be free so you can understand what’s truly going on.

core values: list your core values and how they align with your decisions and choices you make. are you staying true to these values?

dreams and ambitions: be specific and detailed about what you desire, no matter how big or small. consider why you have these dreams, how important they are and how they make you feel.

barriers: journal about the barriers you find that are stopping you from following your heart. can they be owned or outlined? are they impossible to move? what can you do to achieve something similar?

heart healing: think about the time when your heart was broken (not only romantically). write about the experience and how you healed or about your ongoing healing. what lessons did you learn from that?

letters from the heart: write a letter to yourself or someone else about what you’ve been holding back. will you write about love, forgiveness, angriness or some truth?

heart vs head: explore a decision where your heart and head were in conflict. how did you solve the problem? were you satisfied?

gratitude: list things that you’re deeply grateful for. focus how each one touches your heart and the emotions you feel towards them.

Pro tip

Journals are supposed to be messy. Don't pay attention to the "bullet journal girlies" on your social media and their neat little to-do lists and the things they're grateful for. Cause at the end of the day I wouldn't have the energy or the neurotypical-ness to keep up to date with bullet journaling. Just grab ya notebook and write whatever you feel. Talk about your feelings, both the beautiful and the ugly ones. Scribble in it. Doodle in it. Vent in it. Write cringey poetry. Write stories. Release your inner Regina George on that bitch. You don't need to make it fancy, your journal can be your best friend if you just let it.

Misty mountains are always the best kind of mountains.

I have only one week before my first exam of this exam season and I am so done. Due to the fact that I did not get more then two consecutive rest days during the "holidays" I am starting to feel burned out and I am not even half way into this. After my exam next week I will have a little over two weeks to fully study for another exam and I want to scream. I need to not thing about studying for a few consecutive days but I don't know how. And the week after my February exam new classes are starting again ugh. My physical health in the past two months has really fucked everything. On top of this can I say that I don't feel prepared at all for next week? Ugh this is not how I wanted my week to start.

calm hobbit winter activities and productivity:

read first thing in the morning

daily Irish practice on duolingo

finished my first outloud review for my exam next week

continued writing down the key phrases for each duolingo unit I have completed in Irish

continued my French review on duolingo

allowed myself to stop working earlier

updated my reading journal

crocheted a bit while rewatching the witcher (I am in need of fantasy to escape the horrors of reality)

📖: A Day Of Fallen Night by Samantha Shannon (I am two chapters in and I am already addixted to the story I need to know more)

Manifest the life of your dream!

i have always dream big. For as long as i remember i always had a clear vision of what i kind a person i wanted to be, i knew I wanted to work closenet to beauty and art! I always knew i would be a bad bitch because of how obsessed I always been with Bratz doll.

I knew that i wanted to live that kind of life!

A life where everything would go my way! So i started to envision this life for myself! I would dream of it and think about it all the time.

I did not know that what i was doing was manifesting! I just thought that i was just a delulu queen but as i grew older i started to learn more about spirituality and attraction. And hold and behold, your girl was just manifesting her dream life à lol along!

So here are step to start your manifesting journey too! Cuz baby we don’t gate keep over here!

Define Your Vision: Be specific about what your dream life looks like. Write down your goals in different areas: career, relationships, health, and personal growth.

Visualize: Spend time imagining your ideal life. Use vision boards, meditation, or journaling to reinforce this image in your mind.

Set Intentions: Create clear, actionable intentions. Break your goals into smaller, achievable steps to make them more manageable.

Practice Gratitude: Cultivate gratitude for what you already have. This positive mindset can attract more good things into your life.

Stay Positive: Surround yourself with positive influences, whether that’s people, books, or podcasts. Your environment can greatly affect your mindset.

Take Action: Manifestation isn’t just about thinking; it requires action. Take steps toward your goals, even if they’re small.

Trust the Process: Be patient and trust that things will unfold in their own time. Stay open to unexpected opportunities.

Reflect and Adjust: Regularly review your progress. If something isn’t working, adjust your approach or goals as needed.

Stay Resilient: Challenges are part of the journey. Cultivating resilience will help you stay focused and motivated.

Celebrate Progress: Acknowledge your achievements, no matter how small. This reinforces your commitment and keeps you motivated.

Like trick : go on ChatGPT and ask about a day in your life in 5 years based on the person you want to be! Mine was pretty neat!

speaking of art, I totally forgot to post this earlier! but I drew a fun spooky AU Gideon for the GF Halloween Zine hosted by @howtokillavampire. it was nice to have the motivation to actually do something finished for once, haha

everyone in town thinks his vampire gimmick is soooo cute! he's so committed to the character! you could almost let yourself be fooled into thinking he's a real vampire.

he's not telling.

What if?:

What if we didn’t care about people’s perception of us?. We put so much effort into ourselves just for other people’s approval and positive affirmations.

We pre plan the conversations we will have with others in hope we come off as smart, confident, likeable or funny. We put effort into our appearances and follow the current trend cycle, even if we have to completely change ourselves until we look utterly unrecognisable. We try to mould ourselves to other’s expectations and standards as if we are clay.

If somebody doesn’t like us, we automatically have the mindset of ‘I need to fix me, I am the problem’. In reality, we don’t realise the only person we are harming is ourselves.

Here’s a simple remedy; Do what feels right to you.

You shouldn’t have to beg people to like you. If you’re a good person, you will attract friends that will accept you for who you really are.

You shouldn’t have to change your physical appearance just to be seen as ‘perfect’ or ‘beautiful’. Simply follow the style YOU like and what suits your unique features (i firmly believe that everyone possesses their own individual beauty). Do what feels most natural to you.

Rather than focusing on how to achieve society’s approval, focus on seeking your own approval. Society will ALWAYS find things to critique you on. You can never win with some people, but you can choose yourself, I hope you choose yourself this time. 🍓

Like I’m not even sorry for the Charles thing, nothing will probably happen they have access to top notch technology and medicine. They’re all bad people, and honestly f*** the monarchy all over the world, they live off peoples taxes, you know the actual people that works and needs to money to survive and still struggle, let’s not even put an illness in there because it’s unaffordable for most people to have medical attention. And these people don’t even lift a finger and have all the money to spill in their depravities and when they get sick they expect the whole world to be worried for them, when they don’t even know the value of money, much less work and effort. Nah I don’t give a damn to what happens to them, but like they’ve been saying funerals and coronations are not something the citizens can afford

I mean, all this might be very true... but have we considered that after living a life of outrageous unearned wealth and privilege accumulated by generations of imperialism and conquest, it's NoT fAir that Charles got cancer after "waiting for so long!!!":

Actually a headline run in the country that is quickly becoming a third-world failed state and international laughingstock, where £30k a year is considered a top salary and still won't allow you to sponsor a foreign-born partner for a visa. The UK press (and this is even from the Mirror, which is downright "liberal" as far as British tabloids go) truly is something else.

5 Positive Things yesterday 9/27/24

My professor liked my project proposal

We watched a bunch of Fred Astair clips in class and I guess I never knew how much my Great Grandma specifically liked Fred Astair because I remember her singing a lot of those songs he was singing to me

I went and helped at a Light Hang I wasn’t expected to be at and people were excited to see me and I like people showing that they like my presence

I finally got paid for the Light Hang gig I did in June. They messed up paperwork and proceeded to not pay me for 2 months despite a weekly email.

I really like light bangs even though they make me exhausted

5 Positive Things 9/28/24

I did a little bit of bed rotting with my cat this morning

Got multiple loads of laundry done

Went to dinner with a couple of friends. Tacos and Margaritas!

Went to the grocery store drunk and bought Pillsbury Pumpkin cookie dough with cream cheese flavored chunks.

The cookies are delicious and now I’m sober with pumpkin cookies.

dabbling in writing a little bit of slasher iii👀 it's not much, but i've had this idea for months and figured it's about time i did something with it. written while listening to deadrose by unprocessed. not necessary but it's currently topping my slasher iii song list

632 words

Time had muddled in their brain, they had no idea how long it had been since he’d disappeared from their sight, but they knew they were running out of time regardless. The rope binding their limbs had been tied with expert hands. As they struggled against their bonds, the rope’s grip only tightened, the fibers rubbing their wrists and ankles raw until it began to turn pink with their blood. Their eyes frantically searched the room for anything that might help them escape, but they found little that could be of assistance. 

The room he imprisoned them in was almost entirely bare, save for a pile of discarded, bloody clothing heaped into the corner and the black journal the masked man always carried with him. When he left the room, the journal had fallen from his pocket, haphazardly forgotten by the door.

Their curious nature overtook them as they scooted across the grimy floor, nudging the cover open with their toe. Their blood ran ice cold as a pair of vibrant blue eyes stared back at them from the first page. A photograph of a handsome man was paperclipped to the page, partially obscuring what they knew were the events of the final hours of that man’s life. They felt bile creep up their throat as their eyes scanned across the page.

17:43 He believes crying will help him, that his tears will compel me to release him. It’s pathetic, really. I thought he would be stronger. But the tears make his eyes look so pretty, maybe I’ll keep him a little longer.

The horrors of the first page had done nothing to prepare them for the next, as they found those same vibrant blue eyes staring back at them, cold and devoid of life. They tried not to stare too long at dark red blood oozing from the gaping wound in his throat. The pages that followed were all the same format: a photograph of some poor unfortunate soul accompanied by a horrifically detailed account of their final moments, followed by another photo of their corpse. On some pages, he had even smeared blood across the page in vaguely artistic patterns. 

As they flipped the final page, they bit down on their lip to stifle their scream as their own face smiled back from this book of horrors. Despite his poor attempt to crop the image before printing it, they could tell it was a screenshot from their Instagram, a photo they had posted in a moment of self-confidence. A photo that this deranged man would use to remember them by, a juxtaposition for the horrific photo they knew would occupy the next page soon enough.

The door creaked open, and they lifted their gaze from the photo to meet his darkened eyes, crinkled from the grin he hid beneath his mask.

“I see you’ve found my scrapbook,” The smile in his voice told them that he had always intended to drop the journal, that he wanted them to read it, to see what was in store for them. 

He crouched before them, plucking the journal off the floor and thumbing through the pages before returning to the image of the blue-eyed man. He stroked the image tenderly with his index finger before turning it around to once again display the image of his lifeless corpse.

“He’s still my favorite, I think. But you… I believe you’ll be a close second,” His other hand gently traced the contours of their jaw. “You’re going to be my masterpiece, darling.”

He stood then, chuckling to himself as he tucked the book underneath his arm and spun on his heels, striding back out the door as they crumpled to the ground, terrified of what other sick games he might be playing with them.
