The universe has its plans for us. We're still here for a reason. Let's live well so Death will tremble to take us. Don't take each day or people for granted. Don't waste your time on idiot people. Live your life to be happy in whatever makes you happy. Wear sunscreen.
Have good days all 🖤

Two years today since I moved to Costa Rica. Hardest two years of my life but definitely worth it.

Would we sail away?
If we had a boat,
Something seaworthy,
Able to float,
Would we drift for a while,
Master the sea
Or let the wind take us,
Just you and me.

I really fancied a posh burger for lunch & was ready to venture out for one but the weather is too miserable 😖
Anyway, I've got one incoming with a large salad. Thank you delivery apps! So happy I don't have to get wet to satisfy my cravings 🤗

In real life:
1. recovery is nonlinear
2. progress reverses
3. plans fail
Survivors aren’t those whose plans work they’re those who keep redesigning the plan.

I'm back on the salmon sperm everyone.
I’ve seen PDRN - often nicknamed as ‘salmon DNA’ - popping up all over my feed, so when I came across Tirtir’s Matcha PDRN Skin Toner, £21, I decided to put it to the test. (Contains affiliate links)

Thought I’d just pass on some relationship advice my grandma once gave to me: if you’re unhappy with your partner or spouse why don’t you replace their head in every photograph in your house with a picture of your celebrity crush? x

Met baby Crouton at the bakery this morning. He’s a bit camera-shy, but the sweetest and softest smol lad ever. 🐶✨

Morning! xx

Sunday wholesome for you. She really wanted to snuggle up to me but the crystals on my jumper heart were uncomfortable on her cheek so we found the soft blanket she could lay on ...
Innocence personified. And the child is angelic too ...😌

Your boyfriend's kids have stood him up at the fortnightly access trip to Pizza Hut again.
When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

Add a dash of eyeliner and it's literally me back then.
Those special moments when you're out in the fresh moorland air, your hair is exactly the same as it was in your 2006 Myspace photo and life feels full of potential.

That RSPB Bad Exes as birds thread is brilliant. Having read it twice though, it would appear they forgot the species the cunt bird 😌
