Good morning! Well not for me it's not but hey ho. see I suffer from what I like to call depressive dips, I am not full on let's give up on life every day but some Tuesday night, random hours of a Friday night out or weekends you know I could do with just not existing. Sounds magical, doesn't it. Anyway i have fall in to the pit over the last two days I don't feel this will be a long stay in my own personal hell more of like a mini break so I thought lets talk about some cheer up things before I end up in the dark, staring off in to the obis and listening to the smiths again. So without further ado, these are things, the little hints of sweetness that pick me up when everything just tastes a bit sour.
Music maestro:
1. Dope lemon - Marniade
this song is just me all over. the video has animation incorporate which is my favourite thing ever, I just love cartoons don't judge. plus the video has a real moonrise kingdom sort of vibe, and I love films that that with weird shorts and colours and general weirdness, films like the grand Budapest hotel or moonrise kingdom just have that great whimsical vibe and I love them deeply for that. this song is much the same it's not super upbeat often talking about death or fire or attacks but it that sort of romanised hippy way that makes it feel less weird.
I also really relate to the girl in the song, she sounds like she has a couple issues and shes worried about them in her potential relationship, which is why she wants to go steady. did I write this song? is it me? scientist still can't tell. I love the non-perfectionisms of the characters and the absolute bop of the beat. its one of those songs I often listen to before or in bed during my bouts insomnia it just really chills me out. I love it I really do, I don't know how else to say that.
2. Paris in the rain- lauv
(i do not own this picture I wish I did tho look at that a+ photography there)
the song is so slow simple. It really helps me to unwind and it reminds me of my favourite things in the world. number one France, I would love to learn French again I think it is beautiful, France is also the one place outside of the UK I would live. I like the idea of Scandinavia but I couldn't see my self there for long but France, now that would be a dream.
My second point on why I love it is that it reminds me of rain, for obvious reasons. Nothing is more calming to me than hearing rain at night, seeing it fall under street lamps in the dark, smelling it stewing in the trees, the soil and in the freshly cut grass. it is so comforting and constant and I adore it.
the talkies:
1. Penelope
(still sadly not one of mine)
I am huge film lover but oddly enough I find it hard to watch films or anything really in these dips, however a couple of days ago I did rewatch a film that I loved years ago but for whatever reason forgot about it and that was the 2006 film, Penelope. It's about a girl with a pig face... I can tell I have lost some of you already. In order to break her curse, she needs to be loved by someone of her own kind, a blue blood. It has got quirky sets, costumes and adorable scenes with Penelope (played by Christina Ricci) and her potential curse breaker Max (James Mcavoy). It's weird, it's cute. it is going in my amazon basket became I want to watch it again.
hushaby mountain:
1. sleep easy tea.
when I am like this am a little more reckless, my diet is abandoned, my caffeine intake is through the roof, spending money left in my wallet is harder to find than that shiny mew two card back in the days of the Pokemon card hype. the one stable thing that makes me feel I have my life, somewhat what together is my drinking of sleep easy herbal tea. I have mine with honey not sugar (so fancy) the tea its self is full of cinnamon, citrus and all these lovely mostly healthy other things. This helps me to knock my self out. It just makes me feel better knowing I am at least trying to look after my self in some way.
2. eye masks and pjs
My bed just makes me feel safe I won't lie about that, it's conforming to be in your lovely silky pyjamas a little velvet eye mask poking out the pocket. admits you see of pillows watching the moon through your window, or watching your favourite Studio Ghibli in the low light of your fairy lights. I don't know how people don't care about pyjamas why do you not want to be cosy, its almost like you don't have a burning urge to rest away your life ling in the dark instead of going out- and never mind I think I just got it. In all seriousness pyjamas me happy. If someone brought me pyjamas and slippers and a film for us to watch and would marry them, no joke.
glow through the gloom:
1. low lighting
linking back to my last point about night time and the darkness, low lighting is the best thing in this universe, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. I love the dark, I have never ever been afraid of the dark, I have been afraid of everything else know to man other than being in darkness. It is just nice to me, to be in full darkness. Now darkness with the curtains open is better but darkness with the curtains half open and 3 low light lamps on? that is the god tear, we have reached perfection, you cant top it there is no physical way you can show me something more aesthetically pleasing than that.
That's all I have for now I may do more later, for now, enjoy your self if you can and hang in there
