As cooler weather approaches, life is good.

Last time I posted, I mentioned how rough it has been to balance mental health in today’s world. That still, unfortunately, stands true. Still things have slowly been getting a little easier, bit by bit. Mainly because I’ve been disconnecting as much when time allows. Ditching my phone, in favor of reading on the couch. Spending a Saturday with a best friend, where we just watch movies and hang out together. Basically I’m planning out little bits of joy to keep myself going. And it’s working!

Anime has always been one of my favorite escapes, but especially lately! So many good adaptations are out, and anime is more accessible than it has ever been before. Right now I’m actually watching Witch Watch on Netflix and it’s freaking ADORABLE. I posted the intro song above because anything by Yoasobi is fantastic, but this particular song is probably one of my all time favorites. You know I like the song when I refuse to skip the intro hahaha.

Now that it’s cooler, I can employ my last coping mechanism which is to just get outside. I love spending an afternoon out in a warm breeze, or swinging in my hammock. It’s really nice to just go for a calm walk for lunch, and soak up pretty flowers and trees. Until now, the weather was just too hot for all of that. Now I don’t have an excuse and I cannot WAIT.

What’s your way to disconnect?
