my perfect evening ✨🌇

after a pretty tough day at my barista job, i was ready for a relaxing evening tonight-- so i pulled out the couch, got comfy, and enjoyed the little things! i'm feeling really grateful for my partner and the little life we have. i guess you could say i like this little life lol 😋

also, disclaimer: my "wife" and i aren't actually married, but we've been together for nearly 6 years now and have lived together for 5. we are locked in for life, but we're waiting until we're older to actually tie the knot (we're both 24). but, in every sense except the legal one, we are married. feels weird just saying "girlfriend" when we're this serious haha

just wanted to share a little joy and show some cute parts of my apartment! it's a little messy right now, but i wanna post more pictures after i clean it tomorrow!

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, taking time for yourself in the evening is vital for mental health and well-being. Creating a cozy atmosphere at home can enhance relaxation and gratitude. Incorporating elements like soft lighting, plush blankets, and personal decor can transform your space into a sanctuary. Think about utilizing warm candlelight or a soft throw to elevate your evening routine. Moreover, cooking a simple yet delicious meal can also add a comforting touch; perhaps trying your own version of a 'dinner by my talented wife’ with ingredients you love. Engaging in activities that bring you joy, such as watching your favorite anime, adds to the fulfillment of the evening. Embracing simplicity and showing appreciation for your partner highlights the beauty of togetherness, making every moment special—even if it's just relaxing on the couch after a long day. So, as you wind down tonight, reflect on what brings you joy—let your living space reflect the warmth and love that fill your life.

My perfect rainy evening in New York!
I love it when museums are open later or the concept of going to museum after hours, so when I heard the Met museum has been staying open later than usual, this was a no-brainer on a gloomy day. There were so many couples and they had live classical music on the mezzanine. They also apparently had
