the world is full of joy, and whimsy. sure, it's full of other stuff too, but it's important to acknowledge and appreciate the good things as they come

for example, I saw a bird today.

and like, holy shit.

pretty cool

Mini rant here, hope thats okay op 💕 My outlook on life drastically changed when I began intentionally appreciating even the smallest things that made me happy in my day. I always make a special effort to remember when I see cute dogs, or particularly beautiful clouds, or my favorite colors in the world, or other small details that I, at the worst times of my life previously, wouldn't have the strength to care about or worse, wouldn't even notice. Reminding myself regularly that the world is beautiful, and there is goodness in it really does help me stay out of the spiral of doom I often find myself on the precipice of.

Being mindful and all that junk didn't cure me. It just... gave me a better foothold to climb my way out of my bullshit. And goddammit if those birds aren't pretty fucking cool, too.

woah.. just like me for real.....
