when i used to feel like that i would put on a tv show, or prepare myself a bathtub filled with water and i would throw in a lush bath bomb and watch the way it’s colors made art in it and photograph the shit out of it and light up some candles, pour some bubbles and read one of the books that were pilling up waiting for me to read them. sometimes, i would dress up as nicely as i wanted, put on make-up and go out into the city and take pictures, i would sit on a bench and look at the people passing by studying their emotions and gestures or go to a starbucks and read a book, or write in a diary, or color in a coloring book while sipping my favorite coffee and looking at people.
when i was feeling way too sad for my own being i made myself learn to love the little things around me: sunsets and sunrises, flowers, animals, old building full of beautiful architecture, coffee, tea, art and day by day i started feeling less sad and less depressed. just treat yourself in any way possible even if it’s just going out for a walk, or a new book, or your favorite coffee, or just taking pictures of things you find beautiful.
you’ll start feeling beautiful being surrounded by beautiful things. you’ll start loving yourself if you’re surrounded by the little things you love.
