bring back the habits that made you happy as a child. there’s no reason you should ever have to give up harmless things that bring you joy. you don’t have to age out of having fun. finger paint. write mediocre fanfiction and questionable poetry. put chocolate chips in your waffles. sing in the bath, and while working in the yard, and while washing your hands. hammer tunelessly on a piano. spin in circles until you fall down. climb a tree. just because you’re now in charge of your life doesn’t mean you’re expected to give up on the things that make life feel worth living

“I belong to the sort of people who don’t like to travel through life as if it were a habit or routine. I regularly look for signs, big or small ones, to make sure I’m roaming towards the right direction. The choices are all mine, but I find any confirmation that I’m on the right track to be very reassuring and comforting. The universe freely offers signs and hints to those who seek some guidance or light for their path.”
— Sereno Sky, the “Lonely Traveller” novels
