#don't you dare discard nutrients and flavors. you need those. they are so scarce and precious.

it’s about the little joys amidst the grind for survival

#my art #hornet #hollow knight #*crawls out of a gutter covered in wet leaves* sup. #i've been slowly poking at asks but it gets frustrating to have so little time to draw so i wanted to make something really quick..! #my life lately has been about the grind for survival /_\ #onset of cold season means i won't be warm again for several months and i'll be usually tired and hungry #isn't it fascinating how the body responds to seasons? idk if it's from less sun or higher caloric demands from heating the body #POV you are biking to work in a downpour. it's before sunrise and cars' headlights are reflecting off the rain on your glasses #you cannot fucking see and there are branches all over the sidewalk from the wind which is strong enough to shove you around #only reason I never fell is because i've been cautious after a recent bad crash. #well now i have a raincoat and learned the lesson to bring spare pants when it's raining and i can move my knee again. luxury! #how does everyone else just keep going when it gets dark and cold all the time. i feel like a bear that should be hibernating. #can't wait to go apeass crazy during the thaw. sprint until i collapse the moment i feel a warm breeze. makes winter worth it #real self-care is using what little energy you have at the end of the day to make a meal big enough to provide several days of leftovers #*throws eggs into the rice* please you need protein for tomorrow i love you. eat well and be strong! #been falling into the habit of skipping meals because i'm too tired to cook and eat. thank you me of yesterday for not being selfish :] #I have a hot tip! if you boil a vegetable; retain the water and freeze it. #last month's accidental yam stock was this week's risotto base #don't you dare discard nutrients and flavors. you need those. they are so scarce and precious. #anyway. don't get lost in the struggle. squeeze in some art and get that creative juice out of your system. #personally i am excited for hornet to explore the arts :] #oh at least autumn is beautiful. but I moved to a place with less nature.. #didn't realize how important it is to me to have large stretches of woodland. I miss my free ranging territory! suffocating in the suburbs! #well now i go to get not enough sleep. nighty night. #(huh? it's almost halloween? since when??)
