I tend to just type what I'm thinking and it always ends up being more than I planned on typing lol.

Oh no, I would write so much, then daydream about the next scene, which just ends up with me daydreaming the whole story and never completing it. I used to just have my characters have kids when I wanted to do something new. So the world (mostly in my head) is quite large with a rich history. lol. If I ever wrote it down it would be epic.

I find it weird that during the day I can't really focus, 8 pm at night "LET'S WORK NONSTOP ON *insert whatever I was wanting to work on all day* RIGHT NOW! WHAT? TIME FOR BED ALREADY? NAAAAAAAH Let's stay up late." (me the past year.)
I am trying to do deep spring cleaning (which is quite difficult when I've lived with my messy af sister and nephew the past almost year) and I keep doing just a little, then stopping (where I can), but you know what, I know I'll finish it in the end."

*google cottagecore so I know if what I'm thinking is right* I don't know if the cross stitch designs I do can be considered cottagecore? But it's a wide variety of designs. I remember when I first got my house people asked me what my style was and I'm like idk, whatever I like. My livingroom is a hodgepodge of random stuff that don't match, my entry way reminds me of a farm house. I have this star I was going to replace but forgot the original way I tried to hang it up didn't work because it fell and ripped the drywall off and I'm just keeping it there. And I love my chicken wire looking lamp. My kitchen it literally owls. (I mean my livingroom has owls too) and that's the only place I can put my succulents so they don't die except all except my long boi and the ones I never got into a little pot are the only ones still living.

That's a different story. Like idk why this one that was thriving and alive just all of the sudden died. I take care of it like I did since I got it, which is how I take care of them all, but one randomly molded last year a few months after I got it, and this one just died. One idk why, but all of the bottom leaves just randomly died, and one side it just gone. LIKE WTH! I love my succs, but why do they hate me. Besides my long boi, they all end up dying. (I went on a tangent here)

IKR I wouldn't even be having this problem if I went with the normal difficulty, but nooooo I ALWAYS pick hard now. Like ideky because I mostly play games for the stories anyway. Or the farming, or idle-like play.

i'm similar in the sense i don't prefer just one style. i like cottagecore, and also kawaii and pastel goth and all the kinds of lolita fashion. as for a house, i haven't decorated a place of my own yet, but it could be a mix of things too. i care about whether i like something, more than whether it matches what i already have.

i had a small succulent ONCE and it went and died on me. now i have this notion in my head that succulents are delicate and i don't know how to handle one.

I'm too the point where if I get something new I have to think about where I want to put it and if I have room. And if it will stick out like a sore thumb. I don't know how people do it. I just went of a little shopping spree last weekend, and I still don't know where I am going to put one of the wall pictures I got.

I swear. I have either really good luck with them, or bad. I am so surprised the one I call long boi is still alive after 4 years. also some of the leaves started to propagate too (in the same pot, had no luck when I transplanted them). So I got long boi and his kids growing out of the same pot.

i find it really cute that your succulent and its kids grow in the same place, it's like the family want to live together, the kids don't want to move out :mccute:

Too bad they are SO dramatic if I try to separate the family. Such a shame because it's free succulents. I wanna try growing more from the one that's dying because some of the leaves are still alive and fine.

Me too.

I am actually quite excited to go flower shopping this year. I got some new outdoor shelves for my deck. Slowly been buying flowerpots. Last year I only had 3 and I bought soooo many flowers. I overstuffed my pots, but they thrived so well and the flowers grew sooo much. I gotta make sure I either buy more pots or buy less flowers, but that's when I usually get succulents. The greenhouse near me has a large variety.

that's exciting! flowers are so lovely! they instantly brighten up a house. they're cheerful just to look at. what are your favourites/the ones you hope to get this time?

Oh gosh, I don't even know what each one is called, but my favorites I know the names of are snap dragons, geraniums, petunias. And I'm staring at a picture of my haul from last year and I cannot figure out what this one is called, but I think it's chrysanthemum. I also like hydrangeas. I have a giant one in my landscaping that bloom pinkish white flowers. I want to plant another one someday in another color.

Last year I also got some more "wild flower" varieties too, which is why I can't remember what they are called cuz I think it was just a mixture. I just love flowers. They make me happy. Going to need that if this year gets any worse.
