A Morning That Wasn't Pretty. But Was Mine

A Morning That Wasn’t Pretty, But Was Mine

I didn’t wake up feeling motivated. My hair was messy, my room looked like yesterday’s laundry exploded, and the only reason I grabbed the journal was because it was sitting closest to me. I wrote one line: “I’m glad I made it through yesterday.” That felt like enough.

The lip tint wasn’t some magical confidence boost — it just smelled nice, and I needed something small to make me feel like I’d done one thing for myself. The drink was whatever I had left in the fridge. The clip? Honestly, it’s cheap and sometimes breaks, but it held my hair back long enough for me to wash my face.

None of this looked like Pinterest. But it was real. And that’s the part I’m trying to hold onto: the small, imperfect things that make a day feel like mine, even when nothing else is together.

JOURNALED.

. How Did You Get Here?         No, really? How did you get here? What brought you here? I want to know. Don't tell me though. It wouldn't be fair. Especially seeing as I myself don't know what brought me here either. I however know what has spurred me to this point. A restless mind and a blinking cursor. Very different but very much alike. Both just waiting to be used.          Have you ever had an unrelenting feeling that you should be doing something... exciting, but you just can't lay a finger on what? Instead, you just let the feeling wrap itself around your consciousness till it gets kicked to the curb, dissolves into your unconsciousness or shrivels up, wanes and dies. Sounds pretty morbid, doesn't it? Unfortunately, that's what happens more times than not.          And when it doesn't happen that way —the few times it doesn't happen that way— the feeling grows and grows... Until it morphs and explode...

This routine is for closeness, not projection. When you hear “sweet scents,” what turns you off? Too childish Too loud Too fake 🍰 Comfort First Warm water. Steam. Shoulders relaxing. Sweet body washes work best here — baked goods, not frosting. Your comfort scent lean: Vanilla Fruity Gourmand 🍓 The Close-Enough Layer Lotions and oils that warm up on skin. This scent isn’t for the room — it’s for proximity. People usually notice this scent when they: Hug you Sit close Borrow something 🎀 Sealing the Softness Creams don’t change the scent — they slow it down. Your texture preference: Lotion Cream Oil + cream 🤍 What This Routine Says Not “notice me.” But “rem...
