Books &#8211; As someone once said, books are the way for you to travel without leaving home or indulge in an escapist complex. Books have been my means to travel to fantasy worlds and realistic ones alike. Right now, I&#8217;m close to finishing <em>A Song Below Water<\/em> by Bethany C. Morrow and I&#8217;m so entrenched! As a reader, there&#8217;s so much to explore and as a writer, it&#8217;s so encouraging to know that all authors have gone through the ultimate struggle to bring a story into the world. If they can do it, so can I. (Upon editing this, I have finished <em>A Song Below Water<\/em> and I am astounded! Now, onto <em>A Chorus Rises<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRRih8TLgDu\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CRRih8TLgDu\/<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">19. A Court of Mist and Fury &#8211; This book is the second in the <em>A Court of Thorns and Roses <\/em>series by Sarah J. Maas and it is my top core book. The main character, Feyre, has been through an ungodly amount of trauma and she doesn&#8217;t really have a desire to live. She merely exists in a grey depression. Yet, when it seems like nothing will ever get better, she finds her way back to wanting to live life to the fullest and she&#8217;s surrounded by an inner circle of her most trusted friends in (what I think is) the most beautiful hidden city in the world. It basically reminds me to have hope and that you can pick up the pieces and remake yourself, even when it seems like all the bad stuff hits the fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BEGqEyOkVTm\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The Aquarium &#8211; Childhood trips to the local aquarium were a highlight and it allowed me a glimpse into the alien, underwater world. I usually frequented otters, seahorses, jellyfish, and eels.

Plants &#8211; I only bought a snake plant and an elephant ear bulb during the pandemic. I&#8217;m particularly proud of the elephant ear as I have already had to put it into a larger pot and it&#8217;s around 4 feet tall. I held out until spring 2021 until I visited the garden section of Lowe&#8217;s. \ud83d\ude09To be completely honest, life was just getting more chaotic as the pandemic continued, so I decided that if I could implement a routine of taking care of something and watch it flourish, then I would be a little more ok and feel more encouraged to take care of myself. Also, the added decor and lovely greenery don&#8217;t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" data-attachment-id=\"3880\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/ebonyxscape.com\/?attachment_id=3880\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?fit=4372%2C2919&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4372,2919\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?fit=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1024%2C684&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=1536%2C1026&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=2048%2C1367&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?resize=600%2C401&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?w=2600&amp;ssl=1 2600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ebonyxscape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/jazmin-quaynor-QnGqi8Rd-DA-unsplash.jpg?w=3900&amp;ssl=1 3900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">22.

Brandy&#8217;s Cinderella &#8211; Honestly, I shouldn&#8217;t have to give a reason&#8230;but I will give them anyway. Brandy was the first Cinderella I remember seeing as a child and I thought she was so pretty. I also love how wildly diverse the cast was. I mean, a white king, black queen, and a Filipino prince and it was totally fine, which I love! The music, the black Cinderella, Whitney as a fairy godmother, and the enchanting atmosphere encourage me to keep revisiting it whether it&#8217;s through a rewatch or a Karaoke session of &#8220;Ten Minutes Ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CK4bvWoHvt-\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
