beauty is a high value of mine, it makes life worth living, and with that i don't mean conforming to commercial beauty standards, but cultivating a beautiful environment, inner thoughts/mindset, and lifestyle. here are some things i want to do to make my life more beautiful:
avoiding stress by doing tasks and assignments early
feeling refreshed by not staying up late
experiencing the sunrise and sunset by waking up early and being more mindful of my environment/nature
having a clean and tidy room
having an organized digital space
having an athletic and flexible body by regularly exercising and stretching
having an uncluttered mind by journaling my thoughts everyday
having a positive mindset (no self-loathing, ugly thoughts!)
making life meaningful by not only consuming, but also creating beautiful things through creative means
pursuing my hobbies (writing, drawing, singing, dancing, crafting)
eating less processed food & more beautifully prepared healthy food
being hygienic by smelling good, caring for my nails & hair, and wearing stainless clean clothing
avoiding stress by not being forced to hurry
concentrating being in the present moment
minimizing social media usage
creating a nice atmosphere with matching music
basically romanticizing my life
i hope these tips help you cultivate a more beautiful life too! i might make more blog posts if i feel inspired, because they are pretty too ;)

I can’t stand people that don’t let me speak hyperbolically. If I can’t respond to a minor inconvenience that someone should get shot in the fucking head for it then what’s the point of it all.
