Mental Health breaks from a kawaii fashion enthusiast

At this point, I’m certain a decent percent of you have read 1000 ways to survive the pandemic online. I’m here to hopefully give you new and creative ways to survive the pandemic.
1.Plan a fake event (or one that you can maybe do in 2021)
For me, I have planned out a fake wedding. Yes, I daydream of having a fairytale wedding because my inner child demands it despite the fact that I have no interest in being in a relationship. *cough* Back to the point.
Put together Pinterest boards, take quizzes on Buzzfeed for how you should aesthetically determine your wedding. Summon up your favorite content creators for inspiration and get to planning! This can also be applied to conventions, fashion shows, and meet-ups.

2.Plan out the most over the top Kawaii outfit ever
Theme it to the aesthetic you like the most. Make it have wings, elf ears, lots of decadent lace, bows, or gimmicks that make your outfit unique. Use it to ring in 2021. Make it the biggest fashion statement yet.
3.Daydream about the future that you have always wanted
Write down the goals that you have for the rest of the year, for 2021, and for the next five years. Make them into smaller, manageable tasks that you can reasonably live up to. Remember, it’s the small steps that turn big dreams into reality.
4.Nostalgia
What are some video games, books, movies, or tv shows that inspired you as a kid? Winx Club, Gem and the Holograms, Care Bear’s Journey and Joke-A-Lot are my top four—which is probably why I like puns so much.
5. Journal and Sit with your emotions
This is difficult in a world that changes incessantly. You need time to sit, write, think, evaluate your feelings, and just exist without having to get that next task done. Allow yourself time to find that balance again.
