Peacocks are hilarious, really. They really are just like

The calm feeling of wandering through an old and empty bookshop ♡

No drama. Just vibes. Anyone causing my body to react with anxiety is blocked

Protecting my nervous system all 2023 and beyond

YT Rec for Mandarin!

I feel bad that I haven't been able to deliver on some post I've promised because life has been hectic lately, so I wanted to share a learning resource in the meantime~

Mandarin Melon (and her second channel for shorts!)

I really love her videos and find that they're a great resource for how to speak in a casual, natural manner. The video I linked below is great for learning common phrases—not simple phrases! It's not about how to say "Hello", but how to say phrases that are common in conversation like "Thanks anyway!" or "Fingers crossed!"

Also, I really love her video production. Her editing is really eye-catching without being distracting and improves so much from video to video!

girl help i’m starting over again for the 1000th time & i’m beginning to think that life is a never-ending cycle of starting over & i actually have to make peace with that in order to move forward
