farewell, february
alexandra:
even though i’m aware febraury is a shorter month, i don’t understand how it went by so quickly ?!!! at the start of the month, i took myself on a date which was SO GREAT. 10/10 would recommend. i gave myself an excuse to do things i’ve been wanting to do but didn’t have a “reason” to. buuuuut i may have went a little extreme and literally got sick hours after my date and was the biggest clown. i spent the next few days avoiding people, which is another form of self-care.
most of the month was focused on supporting friends at their dance competitions. there were back to back weekends of competitions; it was v draining. but we survived!! it made me nostalgic about when i was competing, but also extremely grateful that i’m no longer competing. also reminded me about how toxic the dance world is but,,, that’s another conversation.
me ft my insta filter !! 
i can cook food, i swear 
the no.1 dance mom 
hues of homework
a few other things: i got to meet up with a childhood friend i haven’t seen in 5? 6?? years and it was nice to catch up. i also started cooking at home a lot more and it’s not terrible!!! surprisingly a little therapeutic. aaaaaand i began dabbling in AR and made a few instagram filters, which i’m v excited & proud of.
media consumed
alexandra:
a big chunk of the month was me obsessing over The Diviners series!!!! i binge reread the first three books in anticipation for The King of Crows’ release. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. book hangover was real. i was literally making a mood board at 3am; nothing was fine. i also read a few other books and actually wrote some book reviews?!!! who am i??? (side note: my sleep schedule was also the Most Chaotic.)
ALSO. i got a nintendo switch!! it’s been on my wishlist for years & i finally caved. i thought it would be cute to put on a different case and it took me FOUR HOURS. i still don’t think i assembled it properly. at this point, i give up and wonder why i even bother when there are 1000 things i could/should do. but smash!! and pokemon!!! and animal crossing!!!! it’s weird because i didn’t even like animal crossing all that much but,,, i want it now.
foresights of march
alexandra:
i’m v v ready for a new month!! there’s nothing in particular that i’m looking forward to – HOWEVER, i’m doing a thing. in that i’m taking a social media break for all of march. honestly, i’m a little scared but i’m documenting my progress via youtube so you’ll see how it goes. because i won’t be mindlessly scrolling, you should expect a few more blog post!! (for real this time) (hopefully) aside from that, it should be calmer than usual. i’m excited to focus on my tasks & assignments & day to day things.
goals for the month:
- social media detox
- prioritize school
- find creative inspiration
- prioritize yourself
Sounds like you had a productive month! My goals for March is to have a social media detox too. Thanks for sharing 🙂 Good luck in March!
