I keep a journal that I write in nearly daily and write 5 things that I’m grateful for and that I appreciate. Sometimes it’s my cats for being my companions, sometimes it’s the sun for being bright and warm, sometimes it’s even things as silly as beautiful and bright colours that make me feel good. It puts me in a good mood. Definitely worth doing :D

Now that I have a sort of terrarium that’s large enough for Miischa, my giant african millipede I’ve found myself wanting to increase my fauna. Some very interesting and VERY appealing choices are giant hissing cockroaches or some stick insects. I’ve been doing a little research and I’m pretty excited :D
I’m gonna put this on hold for now for a couple reasons.
1- I need to realize who I am before I can love anyone again. I need to dig down to the person beneath all the make-up… I’ve spent my entire life trying to be attractive in every sense of the word. Trying to impress people all the time. So now that there are no men what-so-ever in my life, I’m just letting go and seeing what emerges as my actual personality.
2- They always say the only way to ever find anything is to stop looking, so I figure this way it’s win win lol
