a note on merm musings: simply a list of thoughts I’ve had recently/lessons I’ve learned/things I’ve been doing.
- slathering yourself in melted coconut oil will make you feel like a slippery mermaid and it’s very nice
- balance looks like treating yourself to a mani/pedi and then getting McDonald’s for dinner
- theater is cool because you just get to talk about life, like really dig deep into the circumstances of LIFE and how that affects the character
- morning pages should be non-negotiable. you will be surprised at what magic and creativity come out of it (and fun poems!)
- if you’re feeling stuck, take a breath
- did you know that there’s such a thing called herpangina that’s caused by the coxsackie virus? please say that out loud. this is not a joke. hilarious term for a very painful virus. Drink lots of cold water and take advil.
- yasso yogurt popsicles are the bomb
- my hobbies are taking care of myself
- working out actually helps you feel more productive
- 2 hour facetime dates with your best friend is always a good idea
- if you have herpangina, stay away from salty and acidic foods.
- sometimes the real world feels no different than high school/college
- there will always be people you click with and people you just don’t
- the work is the work; it doesn’t change, just the circumstances do
- sometimes you look in the mirror and your own beauty takes your breath away
- own your beauty simply for YOU and only YOU
- changing your surroundings can re-inspire and re-motivate
- open the door so you can see the sea
- if you’re feeling uncomfortable, change that negative thought to a positive one
