STUDIO GHIBLI + FLOWERS

Ponyo (2008) Pom Poko (1994) Castle in the Sky (1986) Spirited Away (2001) The Secret World of Arrietty (2010) Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) When Marnie Was There (2014) The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013) Kiki’s Delivery Service (1989)

how to live life like a ghibli film

1. go out in nature more. every studio ghibli film has some aspect of nature intertwined with the storyline. sometimes its hard to get the energy to go outside, but just going out on your deck or opening the window in your room or taking a walk around the block is enough. if you feel like it, go for a hike! go into the woods and look at every flower, and every tree. look at the mushrooms and streams and notice the beauty of them. look at nature like you’ve never seen it before. wake up at 4 and watch the sunset. put plants around your room. realize how beautiful the world is around you. appreciate it. 

2. get a hobby! this step is certainly easier said than done, but its so worth it. struggling with mental illness makes it especially hard to get a hobby, but its very important that you don’t spend the majority of your time on social media. Start small. If you want to start drawing get a coloring book and fill in a picture with beautiful markers! If you want to write find a random prompt online, give yourself 30 minutes and see what you can come up with. Want to try baking? Start with an easy recipe, like chocolate chip cookies, and share them with your family or friends, or just yourself! Try out a bunch of hobbies, and see what you like best. Maybe you like making jewelry or writing poems or creating digital collages or making video edits or decorating your room or riding a bike or sewing or reading. The possibilities are endless, and getting a hobby you enjoy is very important, and fun.

3. start appreciating small things and noticing details. I don’t know how to explain this step, but in studio Ghibli films, small things always stick out. There are beautiful tiny details that make the story so much more magnificent. small details make the studio Ghibli films what they are. maybe on your way to school/work the sky was a really pretty color. Or the tea you made in the morning was perfectly steeped. appreciate small details of life that you don’t normally notice.

4. appreciate food. Pay attention to your food. If you can, try and make/bake your own food! But if you can’t, just be mindful of your food. Try not to eat while you’re on your phone. Dedicate times to just eating. Appreciating the food in front of you. Make yourself the ponyo drink with milk and honey, or ponyo ramen! Make yourself your own blend of tea like the Baron!

5. be kind and help others. Being kind doesn’t have to be a grand gesture, it can be smiling and waving at a baby in a café, or helping your mom finish the dishes, or paying for a friend’s coffee. Small gestures not only put good out into the world, but they also make you feel better. When you can, help others. Try volunteering at an animal shelter, or babysit for your aunt without charging her, or just listen to your friend when they’re going through something and be there for them. In every Ghibli film, the main character is always helping others, and being kind. Try to be like kiki, when she returned the pacifier to the mother who forgot it, or like chizuru from the cat returns, who risks her life to save a cat. Kindness comes in all shapes and forms, so just try your best to do what you can!

6. be your most authentic self. Stay true to who you are. dress how you’d like. Cut your hair like you’ve always wanted to. Stay confident and true to yourself. We all feel insecure sometimes, but we need to remind ourselves that we are great. Don’t try and force yourself to be someone you aren’t. Kiki felt insecure in her abilities as a witch, but she stayed true to herself, and believed in herself, and it paid off. Love and appreciate yourself, just the way you are.

7. (not really a tip but a fun suggestion) start collecting something! This is just an extra step that I wanted to include because I think its nice. But start a collection of things that interest you. It could be anything! Candles, stamps, teacups, antique figurines, 19th century photos, lip balms, books, key chains, flowers, hats. The choices are endless.

I Married a Witch (1942) dir. René Clair

I am attracting a man who gives me before I have to ask, who treats me to luxury just because, who invests in my dreams because he has faith in my vision, who cares deeply for me and my safety, who notes what makes me happy and strives to bring more of it into my life. I am deserving of all of this and more.

Lizzie McGuire, One of the Guys (S02E25)

i can be obsessed with romance and also be totally fine on my own it’s called having depth and dimension and being in denial

i went on a walk

mars in scorpio and mars in the 8th these people always sense they are being lead blindly by greater forces at hand. something higher and more powerful than can be known, that expects something from them, something carnal within that blurs every rationality and explanation. through violent mood swings, betrayals, and witness to the beasts in others, the individual runs with the wolves, away from herself yet further towards it, howling into the darkness, the spirit is rich with resilience and survival instinct and prophecy. the quiet nights are the loudest because she can hear the trumpets of the underworld in her ear, a grand choir and desperate cry, and she knows the one hearing these instruments is the old soul in her, she doesn’t raise the question of, ‘will i survive it this time’, there is no choice in the matter. mars in scorpio and the 8th house being defined with nothing more than hardship, horror, and crisis is by those who don’t live it, or those that do, but have become disempowered instead of empowered, or are yet to overcome the victim mentality this condition can bring

i’m a capricorn sun libra moon and i feel this!!!!

I don’t have a judgemental bone in my body, don’t mistake my critical analysis of situations and options to decide upon as judgement. My own fear of failure extends to those I care about, I want to help the people I love make the best possible decision the same way I would ask for help making my own decisions.

- mars in Virgo, sun in 10th, Virgo sun, Virgo mercury, Virgo rising, Capricorn sun, Libra moon.

6th house scorpio mars, 8th house sun, pisces venus, 12th house jupiter and saturn

scorpio placements/8th house sometimes need some time alone and actually really value their solitude, they need some peace and quiet in order to gather their some-what restless thoughts; their brain is really high functioning as is everything with scorpio placements, depth is really a key word when discussing them, they realize bigger things, they see bigger things, they feel heightened things - their solitude is really helpful and useful, gaining a little peace of mind can also help them with paranoid behavior and over-thinking

virgo placements/6th house are also very much deserving of some alone time - gathering thoughts, feelings and doing some soul searching once in a while; being very reserved can become a bit tiring being around a bigger group of people sometimes, they enjoy their solitude and organizing their little personal space, it is a pleasure and a fulfilling time of their time

pisces placements/12th house are also very needy of their time alone, they love spending quality time with their loved ones, but they also need this treatment it helps them further their self-love process and upgrading process, their creativity and richness of imagination is also boosted thanks to those two or three days they take for themselves; pisces placements are also very absorbing of energies, vibes and are often empaths so this is also very therapeutic and helpful of actually realizing and finding their own feelings and thoughts instead of them being mixed with others’.

When Solange said “I can’t be a singular expression of myself, there’s too many parts, too many spaces, too many manifestations, too many lines, too many curves, too many troubles, too many journeys, too many mountains, too many rivers, so many…” I felt it in my soul

She’s like warm days, sunshine, honey and love.
