Big Ol’ Smile (2020)

True Beauty (minor tdp S2 spoilers)

Can we please appreciate how beautiful all the characters in the Dragon Prince are? Beverly you seen, not only how beautiful they are designed but also the gestures and voices and ugh. Why is everything in this show so beautiful. The women are strong and wonderful. Sarai has exactly the taste of dry Humor that I like and the whole scene where Sarai and Harrow fight and the guards exchange money? SO BEAUTIFUL! Don't even get me started on Amaya and the Sunfire elves. The fighting scenes are so fluid and exciting! Gren is always the optimist and looks quite handsome with a beard if I might say that. I love love LOVE Rayla to death with her sarkasm and basically everything she does. Ezran is so cute especially with Zym ("little doggo dragon"-quote my brother) and Callums inner struggle and how Sarai helped him was so enchanting (is that how the word is used or should I say absorbing?) Claudia is still my girl and I hope Soren gets better soon because we can't live without oblivious boy. Corvus is GREAT, like, how he doesn't even care that Rayla is an elf and just wants to serve his new king, it's so... Ugh I'm so overwhelmed and excited and Help. Also, don't even get me started on Aaravos, he's just so handsome and I don't really care if he's supposed to be the villian because have you heard his voice??? I freaked out when they talked about the two queens because LGBTQ+ representation!!!! And its so well done too. Everything this show does is so great and if it is creating handsome characters, representation of all sorts, may it be lgbt, different people of colour or awesome folks with disabilities, I just want everyone in this fandom to stay as positive and wonderful as we can be and appreciate not only this show but each other and the people around us. (This post doesn't nearly capture everything that's great about the Dragon Prince and I apologize for any spelling errors.)

Some positive brush pen lettering!

ID under the cut:

[ID: two pictures of calligraphy in a fun, bouncy font. The first reads “sunshine” in bright yellow lettering with a thin black outline. The word is all lowercase, and the dot over the i is a small sun. A yellow Faber-Castell marker is positioned under the words.

The second picture is of calligraphy in a similar style, this one in light blue ink and reading “have hope”. Accents have been added in much darker turquoise ink, down the left hand side of each letter, and the words are surrounded by small paisley-shaped doodles. END ID]

Value everyone around you

God will always bless you ❤️🙏🌹🎉

Honestly can't wait to go to work today just to frost the cookies 😋

Going through some medical stuff but trying to stay positive :/

Daily positivity! ☀️

Be thankful for a new day and let go of all the negativity from the previous one.

Sitting by the fireplace and learning a new language… There is nothing better than that!💖

I have to admit, since I started learning Spanish a few days ago, I’m even more motivated to do my university assignments✨

Follow me on Duolingo and let’s expand our horizons together!!🥳🌅

✨My ipad case and keyboard are giving me study vibes whenever I look at them✨

Did I just realise that winter depression hit me like a truck? Hell yes.

Am I going to do anything about it? Hell yes!😎

I'm aware of my mental health status and I'm going to make many little steps to achieve my goals anyway!💖 Life isn't easy sometimes and that's okay! Just don't give up and try your best in every situation✨

Day 11/60

I promise: I will never give up until I achieve my goals!💖

Another gloomy day of studying!

I´m sorry for being absent the last few days, but I have been struggling to study properly because of some massive headaches. 

Still: I managed do do some tasks everyday and it´s totally fine that I haven´t been as productive as I wish I had been. My health is more important than studying many hours per day. As long as I can still achieve my goals and keep up with my agenda, everything will be alright. I can still study enough to ace this exam!!

Stay positive and take care of your (mental) health!

Wether you are:

lesbian

gay

bi

pan

trans

nonbinary

poly

ace

queer

straight

cis

You are valid.

Just wanted to spread a little positivity today :)

Staying positive doesn't mean rejecting your negative emotions. It means accepting your feelings and understanding them and understanding that you are In control of how you feel.

I am unable to phrase it better. ♥

- ST200, caring for you

Reminder:

You have survived 100% of your worst days. You will survive today, too.

I’m listening to Florence Scovel Shinn’s book The Game of Life and How to Play it.

There are many lines that impact me in here, but two stood out today.

-The only enemy man has is fear

-”How can I get rid of fear?”  I reply, “By walking up to the thing you are afraid of. The lion takes it’s fierceness from your fear. Walk up to the lion, and he will disappear. Run away and he runs after you.”

Idk about y’all but I sure needed to hear that.  

Yikes! My rent is going up😬😵💀

tell me ill be ok. that all this anger i hold in my heart will one day melt off. that it won't burn my bones or damage my liver or rupture my intestines.

and promise me love. that love will one day strengthen my heart. that it will cool off the burns and glue my liver together and fix my intestines.

to all the true crime fans out there: pls pls pls, take care of yourself and your mental capacity to handle the horrible things about the world! as someone who enjoys true crime, sometimes i feel like i consume too much of it and it effects my mindset and moods. i've noticed i get bitter and often think about gorey things, remembering strangely specific details of a horrific case. it gets so difficult to be happy when there is a voice in the back of your mind going, "remember that case you heard about yesterday? the one where the girl was tortured for 40 days?"

sometimes, its okay - and important - to take breaks from consuming true crime things. take some time for yourself, tune out the horrible stuff, play music, dance, hang out with friends, whatever you want!

this is not to say you should not listen to true crime podcasts or watch true crime videos or read true crime books. it is simply a reminder that though there are bad things happening in the world, and bad people roam the streets, there are plenty of other things to be happy about!

a puppy taking its first step, a couple getting engaged, a brother reuniting with his sister, someone getting their drivers license, someone getting their first ever binder, a girl being able to see her worth, someone finally asking out their crush, a man walking out of an abusive relationship, two best friends meeting up after ten years, someone rescuing a cat from a busy road.... and much more!!!

we know first and foremost that humanity can be evil and not deserving of life ... but i hope that we remember that, sometimes, humanity can be beautiful and cherishable.

Try stuff. Put plants in your room even if you aren’t the best at caring for them. Attempt that dessert recipe even if it turns out ugly. Listen to that music you’ve been meaning to try for a while. The world is full of infinite sources of goodness and the best thing to do it to try and find as many as possible.

a cup of sunshine

Here is a recipe for liquid positivity to help you all through these days.

You’ll need: chamomile fresh ginger (just a little!) fresh lemon honey

optional: homemade cinnamon buns (will heal your heart with immediate effect)

Brew your tea with a bit of ginger and add a squeeze of lemon. Add the honey with a spoon and use it to stir clockwise while thinking of a happy memory. (I might have had a chant for this, but I forgot it already, and it was probably in multiple languages - pardon me, I’m a bit of mess after not leaving the house for two weeks. You can make your own chant if you’want.)

Put on a song that makes you feel good. I chose Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles.

Sit by a window and open it if possible. Breathe.

Drink up. You’re alright.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly. 🥰

you worth it!
