Romanticizing Your Life (in a way that won't drain your bank account)

Make a happy playlist and listen to it while going on a walk

start a journal (doesn't have to be consistent, just when you have something to say)

Try baking something (I suck at baking, so if you've ever broken a stove or an oven, this idea is NOT for you)

Try drinking water. In a real glass. You're going to feel so fancy.

Light some candles and buy some flowers for yourself.

Put on a face mask (This never fails to make me feel like the main character)

Watch the sunrise or sunset (If you live far away from a place where you can see it then drive.)

Read a book

Take the newspaper and find the crossword section. Take this to a coffee shop and do it there with your favorite drink (I've been doing this once week and it is genuinely the best part of my day)

Try smiling more. Not in a weird way, but people will react kindly to you if you show them kindness. Its gonna make you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Paint your nails a color you like (as someone who never has her nails painted, this makes me feel so bougie)

Listen to a podcast. Doesn't have to be a serious one. Either way you'll feel so mature.

TAKE A BUBBLE BATH. I don't do this very often but oh my gosh. I wish I did. It's so relaxing. You could even up it by playing relaxing music from your phone and pretending you're in a spa.

Make your space yours. I mean your room should look like a physical representation of your personality. If this means there are paint splatters on the walls and rubber ducks hanging from the ceiling thats okay. If it means the whole room is painted black and there are 3 pieces of furniture, this is okay. As long as you love it and it makes you feel comfortable.

Give yourself a signature scent. This isn't hard, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on perfume. Just find a scent you really like, go to the drug store, and buy conditioner, shampoo, body wash, and lotion all with this scent. After you shower, use the lotion all over. This will make you smell like your scent and it's amazing. I started doing this a few months ago and I've gotten so many compliments on how I smell. You don't realize how big a compliment that is until you get it. Trust me.

Of course this is all for fun and you don't have to do any of it if you don't want to, but I think its a cute way to bring a little spark of joy into your daily lifestyle.

♡ Have fun! ♡

Raskolnikov is the realest main character to ever walk this earth because he‘s a broke college student who lays in his bed all day thinking about going outside, and then when he does he derealizes, decides that everything sucks, and gets so tired that he imidietly passes out after having to so much as see other people. Mans was representing all of academia unknowingly.

Вoth the russians and the french are depressed, the only difference is that the russians drink tea and the french drink coffee.

Is it also a coincidence that both of these authors have the same initials (A.C)? Or that they died almost at the same early age (44 for Chekhov and 46 for Camus)?
