parmesan princess made a hit trend with this one. a tiktok trend that i actually don’t mind partaking. you’ve picked interesting subjects to study! many of which sounds like fun! mandarin is difficult to learn, so i commend you for actively learning the language.

the subjects i’m studying for my autumn curriculum are herbalism/fermenting, dream psychology, art therapy, and literary analysis.

i've heard of that account! your subjects sound interesting as well. do you have a "syllabus" or are you just winging it? haha

you must share your research on dream psychology & art therapy - i would devour that !

planning on it! i’ve only found a few reliable resources and research on those subjects so far, so i have to find more reliable research still. hopefully i will get around to sharing my notes, research, texts i read, books i read, and video essays from experts before the end of the year!

I normally practice yoga early in the morning. I am going to give an evening practice a go throughout autumn and winter. I think this may help my mornings feel slower and cosier with less pressure. The darker evenings will perhaps invite more space for me to spend stretching and grounding at home ✨

I enjoyed this piece. Thanks for sharing 🤍

Learning Mandarin is exciting!! My Mandarin class uses that exact same Integrated Chinese textbooks, which I recommend. Thank you for the thoughtful post!

I love how your article feels just like autumn, warm, cozy, and comforting. I can almost smell the pumpkin and cinnamon through your words 🫠🤎
