gentle reminder: you are very capable and I’m excited for your future
slightly less gentle reminder: you do have to work for it
*annoyed but resigned moan of frustration*
somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale”, as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.
and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.
I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me
some days all you need is to sit alone watching the sunset and feeling the breeze on your skin, and your heart heals a little
