• pull up youtube videos of yoga and do some.
• make yourself look as lovely as possible, regardless of who’s gonna see you. dress up. be beautiful or handsome or anything.

• take a nap.
• watch whatever makes you laugh, even if it’s tactless. who gives a fuck?
• ✔ change your computer background to something new.
