5 is giving “my name is Will Graham. I’m in Baltimore, Maryland, it’s 7:16pm”

ioana⁵ 🪽 :

am i the only one whos scared that if they dont look at the ground constantly theyll trip?

mils<3 :

i tell bus drivers to have a nice day because it reminds me that everyone and everything around us is living and how perfect and rare that is

Giulia :

When I realise that I am too much in my mind, i say my name. It really helps to be more present. Even in the morning when i can’t get up I say “Good morning Giulia!” And it really helps!!!

nefelibata :

Leaving the house without headphones is really overwhelming for me :(

jill :

for rule 2, there’s this amazing app called “Hue” that my friends and i play. everyday you have to find a specific color and take aesthetic pics on the app to make a grid. while i’m running around the city, instead of looking at the sidewalk or my phone, i’m now actively searching for aquamarine or vermillion it’s awesome

ecb.i :

Anyone have any tips for small talk?

l i s 𑁍ࠬܓ :

i never comment and i dunno if anyone else is agreeing, but nr. 3 is actually very helpful to me. i go on walks in the park sometimes without anything. i can think, reflect, have my own moments of silence in this busy and loud world. its beautiful to learn about my own mind and thoughts. just observe leaves, birds, trees, without any distractions. and no matter in which mood i was in before, i always come back home knowing that it will all be okay. love you all, take care of yourselves. 🩷

delilahh! :

i actually do these and they help so much, i’ve recently done this after i realized how disconnected i became my sophomore year (due to extreme stress) and i just needed to ground myself, a quote i often think of for #5 is “life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” reminding me to live for the good in life and don’t let negativity contaminate it because these moments soon become memories you wish you cherished a little more :)

Ser Duncan the tall :

I feel like in the last year or so ive been doing a lot better because I downgraded to a Nokia and my iPad doesn’t have a sim so Ive been so much more present outside it’s been wonderful

Sage :

I wanna look up but i feel like im looking at people and invading their space and what will they think of me staring or will they assume im staring or will i look pretentious

Lu ⋆˚࿔ :

Esmé ╋━ :

current favourite is actually ordering at bars rather than using qr codes provided at tables

izz :

inko :

Putting my chin up is the hardest cause when I’m walking in public the only direction I look it to the ground and when I have to speak to someone I look past them my eyes always darting from one side to another

mayaríta 🦄 :
