2 please! 7 too if you're up for it :3

2. How do you treat yourself to something nice?

In many ways, depending on my mood and my finance. Sometimes food, sometimes material stuff, but someday I would like to treat myself by treating my family to a good meal (if I have some good extra money that is). I do something that would make me happy. Recently I just bought myself a Pokemon Elite Trainer Box using some of my hard-earned money and did some unboxing (with video for good memories!). It was fun! It's a one-time thing, but it was a good treat.

7. Whats a ✨tumblr typical self care✨ thing that actually works for you?

I actually don't know what this means in the prompt, but I'll answer it based on my understanding and looking at #self-care in Tumblr for some clarity.

One thing that I learned from social media (yes, I meant Tumblr) is that it's an addictive thing. People would end up looking for recognition from others (and I include this with myself, mind you) because I was/maybe still am one of them. I lose focus on my studies and got addicted to it, hoping to get all the likes and reblogs like any other well-known artists that I've seen. One day my younger sister saw this and told me this : 'it's not about the likes, it's about doing things that you enjoy', and she's right.

Recently I just got contacted by a person who had the same issue that I had during my early time in Tumblr, and basically I just told them almost the same thing that my sister told me.

Just do what makes you happy.

As long as it doesn't break any laws that is.

Leave the things that can only bring you down, and start making things that you enjoy making it. You don't need someone else to recognize you, YOU need to recognize you.

Of the things I see in Tumblr that helps me is basically rings the same tune of bells :

'Whatever you do, just keep going'

Everyone has a different pace, and each one of us has a different time when we get to achieve great things. Don't look at someone else's success and be bummed about yourself. You WILL get your moment, only not now, or soon as the others. The turtle wins the race not because of his speed, but his perseverance. So don't give up and keep going forward!

And I'm saying this as a reminder to myself and to the people that goes through the same thing. We humans tend to forget, mind you.

Life is too short for you to dwell on depressing things, especially in the internet where you can choose to look at good things or bad ones. So, please look on the good things that makes you happy in the internet; life is depressing enough to remind you all the bad ones.

Summer!!
