Inspiration scrapbook/blog of an autistic twenty-something who happily crawled in thorny bushes and got barbed seeds stuck in her stockings, bought into the “not like other girls!” 90’s girl power brand of feminism, then grew up to realize she rather liked pink when it isn’t all there is to pick from.

A long time admirer of Lolita fashion and lifestyle (can’t afford it yet!), clumsily embracing pretty and feminine things! (While keeping some tomboyish interests too, of course! …….. I still don’t like cooking much.)

Favourite things include pastel colours, old shoujo manga, Sanrio, nature (birds, animals, flowers!), books, and old anime/manga.

Loved reading the Princess Portal and The Lost Princess as a child, firm believer in romanticizing the little things about life!

Kind of a scatterbrain, but the nice thing about being forgetful is the world always looks fresh and brand new every day.

Today, I saw for the first time in real life how blades of grass light up and, when the wind blows, the light ripples from leaf to leaf as they bend and sway!

I’s only seen that in a very stylized fashion when the wind blows over grass in old anime like a jagged streak of brighter green over a grassy hill, but never saw it in real life, as I live in a desert!! It’s so beautiful… I watched it happen in the hospital garden from the clinic window.

The clinic was a bit chilly, though, and I forgot to wear an extra layer, but there was a convenient velvety green prayer mat under the window, so I brought it closer to lean on…

The grass was dotted with cute, little, white flowers… they danced in the wind too!

I don’t know their name, they might be considered “weeds,” but anything is lovely when you’re used to an arid landscape where only the occasional sunny yellow dandelion or fluffy white dandelion puff breaks the monotony.
