[REST] - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Resting on The Great Wall of China near Xizhazi Village
Sleep
The honking of horns, the calls from the hawkers, the endless piles of files in the pending tray, the coffee spilled on your new shirt, the burden of the day. Let it go. The day has ended, and so has the incessant obligations that somehow land between your shoulder blades and travel down your back to settle at the base of your spine, pulling you down, down, down. Stand and let them seep out from…

I want to rest.
I really need rest.
Believe it or not, all of these photos were taken from the same angle. I flipped the last 2 and the results were very surprising.
This time, the drawing was a success. I like him. Just relaxing on the field under the warm sun, beauty!🥰
busy-ness + rest
Hello friends!
I have to be honest with you all… this week time has gotten away from me a little bit. For my university, fall break is this weekend and I have been scrambling a little to finish everything I need to get done for my classes and prepare everything I need to complete during break. It’s also a festival weekend at the historic site that I’m interning for so I am writing this post before I have to leave for the day. (I will be there all weekend and I just know I am going to crash Sunday evening when I finally get home.) Regardless, because of all this busy-ness, this post is going to be ridiculously short today.
Some updates on my creative writing:
I have not worked on either project this week
I wrote a short story for one of my classes which could maybe turn into an expanded story someday but I am content with it remaining short for now
I am in the process of developing a podcast with my friend for one of our classes and it is very fun
Other than that, however, I haven’t done much this week. And, that is okay! ᕱ__ᕱ Sometimes you just need to give yourself a little time and space to breath and let the creative juice stores refill themselves before diving back in. That’s all for this week then!
And don’t forget, cross your j’s and dot your t’s!

PS. The weather has been getting really cold recently! I love autumn but dipping into freezing temperatures already– no thanks!!
After much consideration I have decided that yes, Bella is a soft pastel kind of bunny
"Sleeping like that is bad for you! Stop it!"
I hate these kinds of articles, we know Captain obvious. Unless you have a magical cure for my insomnia, that is not happening. I'd much rather have a fucked up back and neck rather than having a sad fucked up brain from getting no sleep.
and that's why I've never participated in an arttober.
Count me in
You need rest! It’s not something we should skip or feel guilty for doing. Some little ghosties to help us remember that. ♡

Fortune has heard me ! I finally have time for myself, time to write... THANK FORTUNE COOKIE ! YOU HAVE HELPED ME A LOT ! So, so, so much plots are popping up out of my mind ! Feel free to ask me anything ! I’m used to write about villains. Requests are open :D
❀ Pansy n°7 = My mind's safe space.
safe space - noun → a place or environment in which a person or category of people can feel confident that they will not be exposed to discrimination, criticism, harassment, or any other emotional or physical harm.
It’s quite easy to understand what a safe space is, but I would like to add to this definition that it can also be a person - since you’re with someone it could go into “environment” I guess. Personally, my safe spaces are my room and bed, my sisters, my family circle and my mom’s embrace. Those are things that can make me feel instantly better.
I know about these, how they affect me and especially how I struggle to live without them. Getting out of my comfort zone really isn’t my forte… :/ Though there is one place where I can always go when I need a break, a breath… It’s a safe space I created on my own to fit my fantasies and needs to help me calm down and stay serene.
I can literally go there whenever, as I carry it in my mind. Firstly, I created this mind safe space in PE in Highschool when we were doing yoga with my favorite teacher. She helped us a lot to manage our stress and so we did a lot of meditation at the end of her classes. And for this time of peaceful concentration, she asked us to find a memory of a cherished place or even a made up one where we can feel good, calm down and fully relax.
Loving to be in imaginary headplaces, I thought of creating one - it eventually became my waiting room when I tried to shift. The place I’m about to describe truly became a safe space for me.

This safe haven basically consists of an opening in the middle of trees. The grass has the perfect height and is a warm tone of green. In the middle of the clearing, there is a huge and beautiful lake - that I often struggle to visualize. I’d love for it to have some sort of littler waterfalls and big rocks all around as if it was more of a natural pool you might find in mountains. But my brain keeps it simple, often picturing it just as a simple body of water - but I’ll work on that :). As the soft wind blows in the trees and the grass, occasionally making the water ripple, you can find under the shade of a tree, an outdoor bed. Its wooden structure sits directly on the ground. Its soft and pristine white sheets are the perfect depiction of comfort. Its size makes it more than able to hold two people and allowing the best naps of the world - well, imaginary world.

This is most of what I visualize when meditating, laying down in this bed to release and concentrate on myself. I also do it when I try to fall asleep, sometimes - if not most of the time - I listen to quiet and soothing music with slight rain sounds, it really calms my running mind. Yet this place is bigger than expected. In fact, I expanded it for my dream purposes.

Behind the bed - which faces the lake - the clearing extends itself towards a small meadow made of hills. Not too far from the outdoor bed, sits a medium size cottage. I don’t really know how it looks because it’s mostly in the background but I know it’s beautiful and cozy - probably with a stone façade. I love this place dearly. Many times have I pictured myself dancing with comfort characters in the tall grass in the white outdoor bed safely tucked in someone’s strong embrace. I just can’t help but feel calm and secure there.
✿❀✿
I think I’d advise everyone to have a place like this, to be able to retreat somewhere when things get too much and you need to focus on yourself. As I said, it’s also good for meditation times, though it’s important to know to not picture yourself with someone at that moment as it’s a time to pay attention to yourself and it’s really important to have those times. Taking care of yourself is detrimental.
I’ll leave you to that dear reader, but not without asking you what is your mind’s safe space ! Don’t be shy to comment or DM me, I’m very curious :).
