not so gentle reminder that academia belongs to the queer, the weary, the women, the people of color, the poor, the ill just as much as it does the rich, the white, the privileged. if your academia isn't accessible, i don't want it.
eat chocolates and truffles for breakfast
wear that one perfume that’s too decadent, too extravagant for daytime - wear as much of it as you want
pick a volume of poetry. how old are you turning? read as many poems and consider what you can learn from them for the next year - not necessarily regarding morals and deeper meaning. take in the grace and beauty of the words, enjoy their melody
at night, turn off the lights and dance with your moonlit shadow
scatter roses in your own path
enjoy the selfless hedonism of your childhood - play, read, dance and dream wholeheartedly
look at art - in a museum, ideally, but books etc will work as well. recognise yourself in a gesture, a nose, a thought expressed in an arrangement of fruit. recognise that just like those pieces of art depict humans and were made by humans, you are art.
look at your own reflection. fall in love a little.
write down how you’d like to be 12 months from now. be specific, visualise your ideal self. reread those visions once a month.
wear your favourite lipstick. kiss your own wrist. (a lover’s token, a promise)
take every step with grace, feel roses woven in your hair and gold dripping from your fingertips
indulge in sensual luxuries
write a love letter to yourself, to be opened on your next birthday
even if you don’t have the time or the means for grand gestures - treat every little thing you do today as a gift to yourself.
feel the centre of your universe shift, ever so slightly, until the sun rises for you.

me, who said the phrase "i have beaucoup de friends" this morning:
Re-watching The Dead Poets Society when you are no longer 14 and actually know who Walt Whitman hits different.
