Soft Q&A

I was tagged by @phoenix343!

What’s the smell of your shampoo?: Lavender and tea tree.

What’s your aesthetic?: (I don’t really understand what this means?) Mason jars, soft yellows and blues, worn wooden furniture, flannel, knit sweaters, broken-in books. (I hate thing that look really new or like you can’t use them, and overly clean houses make me nervous)

What’s your favourite time of day?: Early morning, especially just as the sun is about to rise; early summer evenings are also acceptable.

What do you like most about the beach?: Laying in the sun and hearing the waves. (I don’t like the beach.)

What do you worry about constantly?: As of late, my personal mental health’s been pretty important. I guess I worry about others’ feelings about themselves too, though, and their personal relationship with themselves. I really want other people to love and care about themselves in healthy ways.

What is a song you’ve cried to before?: “It’s Quiet Uptown” had me ugly-crying on an overnight bus the first time I heard it.

What are some relaxing tips for your followers?: Self-care should never be one grand gesture, it should be lots of little things every day. Self-care is also a mindset, honestly: doing the dishes is a chore...until you think of it as taking care of future-you and making your future self less stressed. Washing your face might feel difficult some mornings/nights until you think of it as gifting future-you with glowing, beautiful skin.

What are some things that make you tear up?: People going out of their way to do and say nice things for/to me. Grand gestures might make me panic, but just little things that tell me you we thinking about me and care get to me. Also, family.

What are your five (5) favourite forms of the senses?:

1. Sight: people smiling/laughing, animals excited to see me, dusk/dawn with stars overhead

2. Smell: cookies baking, vanilla, cooking most foods with garlic and onion, fresh laundry, roses, pine, cumin, fresh bread...I cherish my sense of smell. There’s a special Christmas smell, too, and I never know what it is but I love it.

Fun fact, though: I’m sensitive to most perfumes and body spritzes. My mouth goes numb, my throat does fun things, and I relate far too hard to the Spongebob Movie scene where they have to race through the perfume section of the department store.

3. Touch: having my hair played with is wonderful, and a solid hug is pretty great. Sunshine on my skin. Texture-wise...worn wood, I guess. Soft t-shirts. Rose petals.

4. Taste: Most things that are sweet/salty (chocolate-covered pretzels, peanut butter cups), salty/sour (salt and vinegar chips, tom yum ramen), or sweet/sour (grapes, passionfruit). Nutty flavors are also good.

5. Sound: Cello, motown music, the words “September” and “lullaby,” laughter that sounds like pure joy (no malice in it).

What is a scene in a book that made you really sad?: When Harry Potter is in Dumbledore’s office at the end of book 5.

Say something to your followers:

Y’all really are absolutely lovely. I cherish every single one of you, I hope my blog brings joy into your life, and I sincerely invite you to PM me if you ever want to talk about anything.

I tag: @cyniccs, @yeah-tea, @annabrolena, @eposettemyass, @probablybeatricetbh, @poneezi, @princessrogerina, and @mariuspondmercy

If I didn't tag you, it's not because I hate you, I probably just didn't want to bother you with this. Feel free to complete it and passive-aggressively tag me in the beginning saying that I didn't tag you and should have, I promise I'll read it.

#this was really interesting #but questions about senses! are so! open-ended!!#also i haven't had an aesthetic for years #my aesthetic right now is 'whatever i could find in this country that meets my needs'#when i'm back in the homeland i'm going to have slightly more freedom to choose things that are visually appealing to me #personal
