One Day My Book Nerd Will Come

#MyFavoriteMeds

If you know me personally, you might know that I A) Love My Favorite Murder and B) have struggled with bouts of minor depression and anxiety for most of my life.
A few weeks ago, I was listening to the new episode of My Favorite Murder and Georgia Hardstark mentioned that she was inspired by Jen Gotch to post her meds on Instagram. And so, I did too. (picture above) But I wanted to expand on…

I feel like I should just say this: Unless Tumblr implodes on Dec. 17th I’m not actually going anywhere. I’ve spent a lot of time building my follower base here and a blog that I’m actually very fond of. I will be doing some longer posts on my website - abookishblog.com - as well as keeping up with my Instagram and Facebook accounts, but I do still really enjoy this website.

So until the day they pry it from my fingers, I’ll be sticking around. I just felt I should let you know about the other places that I am at.

So, just to reiterate, I’m not going anywhere tomorrow. I’m stuck on this site till it actually implodes. That said. If you are leaving and still want to keep in touch, the above links are where to find me. <3

yourboystookahellofabeating asked:

10, 20 and 30 please

what do you wish you hated, but actually like?

Um IDK I’m sure there’s something, but I can’t actually say.

do you believe in god(s)?

I do, I work with my church and have a generally open relationship with my faith. It’s a fluid thing tho, I love the traditions of my church but I have a lot of other bits of faith, including some witchcraft. It’s an odd blend.

what instrument do you wish you could master?

The piano. I always wanted to play but am quite rubbish at it.

yourboystookahellofabeating asked:

Ivy and Mimosa please

Ivy: favorite part of the holidays?

I love the traditions my family has. We go to Vermont and basically spend the week together and then on New Years Eve we have a bonfire. Its really just a lot of fun.

Mimosa: what are you struggling with right now?

A bunch of things. But I think the one thats sitting hard on me right now is that despite my favorite part of the holidays is being with my family, I can’t actually spend Christmas with them. I’ll be with Boyfriends’ family on the actual day and honestly, my cat doesn’t do well with new situations or dogs and birds, which my parents have both of. So I have to stay home at least a little bit longer before going up for New Years. Additionally, Boyfriend is moving in in January so I need the time to make some changes and do some packing and reorganizing around the house before he moves in.

Plus, my father is really trying to guilt me on this one, which isn’t making it any easier.

jacobaco asked:

1, 11, 21, 31?

what’s your favorite way to dress?

Oversized sweaters and leggings are my absolute favorite. Boyfriend really enjoys seeing exposed back, so I also enjoy finding things with that option…

vague about your crush(es)

I really can’t be vague about him. He's boyfriend. I crush on him so hard. We’re gross and sweet.

is there a song you can’t handle listening to, even though you like it?

Um… no, ACTUALLY YES. I really enjoy the poppiness of Blurred Lines but I cannot in good conscious actively choose to listen to it.

how easy is it for you to be honest?

Pretty easy. Sometimes I have to be vague about something for work, but I’m generally pretty honest.

I don’t deserve nice things

So clearly, my post title is a lie. I very much deserve nice things, we all do. In fact I’m embracing the following policy:
But the fact of the matter is, I’m really bad at doing a few things that need to happen before can I treat myself regularly. And that all falls back on things you need to be an adult.
I’m very fortunate in that I have parents who are very good at adulting and can generally…

Dating Tips For Readers: Don’t Do These on a First Date

So, if you’re a reader and single, chances are you’ve been on a few first dates.
As you might know I hate dating. The whole concept of dating makes me very anxious. I’m now – happily – in a stable long-term relationship, but I wanted to share a few things I learned when I was dating. Because dating is a hard and thankless situation and I am convinced no one really enjoys it.
But as a reader, I…

The books at Moms house

I’ve been living in my house for a little over a year now. I’m pretty well settled. Life is good. But my mother, god love her, has decided that now – Christmas – is the time to bestow upon me her biggest gift.
The books and other items I left at her house.
Oh the Christmas joy.
Now normally, this actually wouldn’t be a problem, I’d just box them up and put them in the basement to be…
