It doesn’t have to be cringe if it is actively bringing joy and whimsy

This is your sign to indulge and begin that project, draw the art piece, begin the fanfic, or start that edit of your f/o. Throw in an OC, your own self insert/yourself, whichever works for you. Allow yourself to enjoy the feeling of appreciating and loving your f/o without shame. You deserve to.

life isnt a race theres still time to do the things i want to do im still young im not behind in life i have time i have time i have time i have time

You own the home you live in. The last owners painted the walls of your bedroom a horrible off white.

You fucking hate it. Every day you wake up to off-white walls and off-white ceilings and pass through your off-white door to get to the rest of the house. You feel like you've been locked up in a padded room. It makes you want to die.

So what is there to do? Well, you own the home. Go out and get some paint, a roller or two, and a drop cloth. If the color makes you want to kill yourself, you should obviously change it.

But what if you didn't hate it. What if it just mildly perturbed you? Or maybe what if you didn't, like, reeeeeally mind it all that much, but you knew that another color would make you a lot happier? Does the decision that you come to change?

Sure, it's work moving the furniture out, setting up, painting, making sure you get the edges, cleaning up, letting it all dry, etc, but isn't adding joy to your life worth the effort? Don't you owe it to yourself to subtract mediocrity and add happiness? Do you need to be miserable to envision a better life?

being in love with the process and not the results is one of the healthiest things in the world
