microdosing on intimacy by running my hand through my own hair

dark academia - self care edition

i’m on a school break this week and i’ve been trying to find ways to rest/recharge while i have the time, so here’s a list of some academia-themed self care ideas <3

brew a cup of your favorite tea and look out the window for a bit

cut up some fruit to eat and arrange it nicely on a plate

reread an old favorite book - or just your favorite chapters

bake something or make a nice dinner for yourself

lie on the floor for and listen to music

watch a documentary about something you find interesting, even if it’s one you’ve seen before

put on classical music and take a long bath/shower

make origami with book pages

read some poetry, or write some of your own

light a candle and watch the flame

if you’re religious or spiritual, spend some extra time on your prayers/meditation

buy flowers for yourself (optional: press them between heavy books so you can keep them forever)

tidy your desk

go outside barefoot and stand in the grass until you feel just a little bit cold, then wrap yourself in a blanket to warm up

write yourself a love letter and seal it with wax

as lovely as it is, learning can be quite rigorous and it’s important to avoid burnout. take some time and do something kind for yourself - you deserve it! i love you all and i hope you do something beautiful today <3
