haunted houses: what’s your scariest memory? (if you don’t have one/ don’t want to talk about it, what’s your biggest fear?)
Hmm, I really don’t know? I mean, I have different levels of ‘scared’ I guess? Like before my GCSEs I was a wreck. I wasn’t eating, sleeping, and was getting panic attacks 24/7. And, on the note of panic attacks, I guess a lot of my ‘scariest memories’ happen during my panic attacks purely because during them I am so scared about everything?
As for my biggest fear, my ‘generic’ fear is heights. I have such a love-hate relationship with them. I hate the sinking feeling I get when I look down off of a high place and I’m also terrified of the intrusive thoughts I get when standing someplace high, yet part of me likes that kind of impulsivity of it? Idk, man. On a deeper fear note, I have a crippling and debilitating fear of failure, to the point where I won’t even attempt certain things because I’m so scared I’ll fail? Like it’s really dumb but I’m terrified of messing things up.
I got a BEAUTIFUL kikki.k planner, and I love the colour so much! It’s gorgeous! As (possibly) expected, I really haven’t done much work today but I tried mochi for the first time! It. Was. Yum.
In a minute I’ll yeet on over to Quizlet to do some Latin literature revision, but this was kinda a mini life update as I haven’t posted for so long 😂 sorry :/
So we may have noticed the changes I’ve made to how my blog looks, just wanted to let you know this is still severussnpethecurtaindrape or snapestudies cause apparently I can’t pick names, but now it’s called TRYINGTOSTUDYBLR. idk. It just encompasses my content better :)

Tagging @clytemnestradeservedbetter for the candle, danke schön brötchen 💞It actually feels reeaally cold today even though it technically isn’t? It’s been a peacefully stressful day 😂
Also enjoy the picture of the fabulous egg I decorated yesterday 😂 I forgot that we roll them down the hill, so maybe a little *too* décorative but I won!😂
