Destress - Tumblr Posts
Playing a game and trying to destress. Hope you all are well!
To de-stress after a long day at work, or just a long day in general, I like to listen to ASMR videos; especially ones that are meant to help you fall asleep. But I recently just found a Japanese ASMR YouTuber and I have never had a better experience before!
Brain completely off. Only good sounds and good vibes here ☺️

masterlist prompt list
You sat in the dark, a dim light shone on the worn-out pages of your thick notebook. Earbuds were stuffed deeply in your ears, the wire connected to your phone. The tunes of your favorite songs to study with played lightly in your ears. Your eyes scaled over your notes for what felt like the hundredth time that night. Once you reached the bottom of the page, you sat back, relaxing in your chair. You leaned your head back, hands coming up to rub your eyes. As your hands left surface they were rubbing, you immediately winced at the sudden brightness your eyes were met with. Warm hands were placed on your shoulders and your boyfriend’s face came into view.
Smiling, you pull out your earbuds, whispering, “Hi, Tommy.”
“Hey, darling,” he leaned down and kissed your cheek. “How’s studying going? You feel alright?” He asked, looking at the piles of notes messily laid on your desk.
“’M doing just fine. I’m right on schedule, no procrastinating this year,” you smiled, yawning.
“That’s great, love,” he began planting small pecks over your face, “So proud of you.”
Giggling when his lips met yours, you lifted your head from its position, “I’m proud of me, too. I think I’ll study some more tonight too.”
Pouting, Tom whined, “But you said we could watch movies tonight.”
Gently kissing the tip of his nose, you smile, “We can watch movies after I study a page more.”
He let out a deep-throated groan, “Fine.”
“Love you, Tommy,” you bid him goodbye, reinserting your earbuds.
“Love you, too, princess,” he whispered back, noticing you had already delved back in your notes.
The amount of admiration and pride he had for you was unimaginable. Seeing you work so hard inspired him to work even harder in his career of acting. You were his pride and joy, and he was never going to let go of you.
this week has been stressful but also awesome, I’m thankful I got to meet my in laws and their family. They are kind! As for school I just need to relax and take it slow.
I’m thankful to have my soulmate there to hug me better and listen to me for when I’m feeling down or stressed.
I love being able to read my favorite books from wattpad and drinking hot tea 🤎
Its time to start learning to take me days.
it’s okay to take a day for yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed.
you are beautiful and you matter, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Personally I think it’s mostly about the undoing of big problems in those games. Usually you “strand” somewhere or you go live in a very remote place. Outside stress falls away. Social media is reduces to a small social group (usually less than a 100) and there is no outside media/complex politics/hidden agendas to distract us with desaster/etc. It’s all about your space in the world. Close and very controlable. This simple way of living has dominated humanity for thousands of years. The way we live today is very unnatural compared to those times. I think it’s become something of a romantic fantasy for most. A place to disconnect and reconnect to yourself your close community and nature.
Ruminations on Tea and Coffee
Look at the cat mug! LOOK AT IT. So kawaii.
What’s actually in the mug is Japanese instant milk tea, which I love, and tea is on my list of Things I Like, right next to coffee + chocolate/caramel/vanilla. I used to drink coffee ALL THE TIME because the café at my school sold chilled, bottled coffee not unlike the Starbucks ones (only these had eco-friendly wrappers, so how could I not?). However, I realized that my addiction was both expensive and partially drug-related, so I reverted to mildly-caffeinated tea.
Tea is also really good for you, because science says so:
1. It keeps you hydrated. If you like your tea how I like mine (well-steeped but not too much) then maybe water would be better for immediate hydration. But fluid is fluid and it’s better than energy drinks.
2. Antioxidants for days! Antioxidants are healthy plant chemicals, which are good for you, and tea has a buttload of that stuff. But seriously, the herbs found in teas are there for a purpose.
3. It’s a de-stressor. As a college student, it’s so hard to make time for de-stressors. But research paper + two cups of green tea = relaxation and creativity. Case closed.
I’m not saying coffee doesn’t do these things too, because it sorta does depending on your drink. Caffeine is a diuretic though, and those chilled, bottled lovely bits of unicorn milk make you lose water like crazy. Even though they’re so flippin’ good. And expensive.
But tea is now the best thing ever, and if you, Reader, have any tea suggestions, please suggest them at once because I love variety, even in my drinks.
