Textures can be surprisingly comforting or satisfying — whether it’s something soft, smooth, or fuzzy. They can even remind us of cozy moments or help ground us when we need a sensory reset.
Some examples are:
🧸 Soft fleece blankets
👕 Cozy cotton shirts
🧥 Warm knitted sweaters
🪩 Smooth satin or silk
🧦 Fuzzy socks
🪨 Cool, smooth stones
☁️ Fluffy clouds
📖 The pages of a new book
💧 Cool water
🔥 Warm laundry fresh from the dryer
My favorite texture is definitely fuzzy socks and blankets!

As you may or may not know, I use writing as a coping mechanism for my difficult times with my Bipolar Disorder. It’s not exclusively a coping mechanism though, I also write when I’m not struggling as I thoroughly enjoy it. The choosing of a topic or subject, the research on said topic or subject, the structuring of the narrative that you have created, then the tweaking of your narrative to make it more fluid, clear and/or comprehensible.
Here is a link to the Manifesto that I have started to write. There’s 3 parts so far and all of them are a work in progress, so if you have any ideas, comments, suggestions or anything please, please, please let me know in the comments section below. I’m receptive to negative comments too so if you have a negative opinion about my work then please do share it, I’m not going to be offended, I will actually be happy with it as it’s a great way to learn and improve 👍
Never forget that change can be beautiful! The Fall shows us that! Hope this finds you well, and remember to take care of YOU! 🧡

It’s October, and fall is in full swing!
When you think of fall, what comes to mind first? Your favorite color, scent, activity, or even comfort food? Maybe it’s a warm drink on a chilly day or pulling out your coziest sweater. 🍁
✨ Here are some examples to get your list started:
Color: deep oranges, burgundy, mustard yellow, forest green 🎨
Scent: cinnamon, apple cider, pumpkin spice, maple syrup 🍯
Activity: apple picking, pumpkin carving, leaf peeping, cozy movie nights 🍎🎃🍂
Sound: crunching leaves underfoot, rain on the window, crackling fireplaces 🔥
Taste: warm soups, spiced lattes, roasted veggies, baked pies 🥧☕
Clothing: chunky sweaters, flannels, fuzzy socks, boots 🧣👢
Decor: pumpkins on the porch, Halloween lights, autumn wreaths 🏡
What are your fall favorites? 🍂💛
Here’s a link to a blog I wrote about The Bootstrap Paradox. It is completely mindbending and thought provoking. So if you want to baffle yourself for Friday and the Weekend, check it out 😂👌
