wrapped in pastel

i've been thinking abt getting back into journaling and stuff lately, i tried w notion for a while but i just wasnt finding a setup i liked. i am using it to track what im gettting done around the house each week now and thats been hugely helpful. im finding once i know whats been done and have suggestions of other things to do i really love cleaning house. im finding it so motivating and i think im enjoying actually doing smth, like actually getting up and moving now that ive had my tonsils out and can breathe im enjoying being somewhat 'active'.

ive also started learning chinese again and its been nice to use my brain a little too lol. i spend an hour or two in the morning learning and read short graded readers throughout the day when i feel like it or do big reading sessions and its been nice to read again. ive also been reading ebooks in eng but not as often tbh. i sped through one book (well speeding for me) reading it before bed every night and now i maybe read a chapter of the current one im reading like once a week lmao

i dont know ive just made a lot of changes lately and i worry its too much at once bc im not good with change but it feels better. ive also been learning to make some easy meals and eat veggies which ive always hated but lately ive been craving all the time. i started with soups a few months ago and since its hot now ive been making a lot of rice balls and trying to make noodle dishes in the rice cooker following some vids ive watched.

i feel like all these changes have made me more present in the real world. im paying attention to like life more and im not as online. i did really enjoying playing genshin again this morning thanks to getting klee and the summer event starting, which was really nice. i still do my dailies but i havent had much fun w it lately and was burnt out and ignoring my resin and shit. so it was rly relaxing to enjoy exploring again.
