Okay if you want Halloweentown romance vibes i def sugggest the glimmer falls series! The first book is the witch’s guide to fake dating a demon by Sarah Hawley. So cute and fun
peyton, my bestie, my love-have you read instructions for dancing by nicola yoon? i cannot remember but i ADORED that one! (okay u just answered my question in the video so ignore me LMAO but u should def read it aha) THE LIBRARY OF SHADOWS MENTIONNNN YESS
It is! I read it at that age and I loved it. It’s really just about the sweet romance and the plot. Nothing sexual in it other than kisses here and there
Omg girl me too I just randomly picked it up from target and that’s the series that got me into reading. This book series will always have a special place in my heart.
Literally that book is LIFE CHANGING! Love that we both randomly picked it up from target. I got it because it was on sale 😂 who would have known I was picking up a new favorite
I can relate to what you said about anxiety. Whenever I get anxious about something I try to tell myself that once I do the thing I'm anxious about I will feel fine which is what happens. I can also be quiet around people that I just met because I just don't know what to say but when I'm around people that I feel comfortable with I will talk more. I remember when I was little I had friends but I was really quiet in school and one day one of my friends came to my house and since I was somewhere I was comfortable I was talking a lot and she asked me why I didn't talk like that at school. I have noticed that my anxiety has gotten better from when I was little but I can still get anxious about things.
I really liked The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes when I read it (I haven't watched the movie yet but I will soon) and I can't wait to read about Haymitch's experience in the game
As someone who also struggled with social anxiety since I was a child, I can say that the only way (for me at least) to fight it or relieve it, is to go THROUGH it and go to social events and talk to new people and take the courage to be out there. I started doing that this year after intense feelings of loneliness for years and years... And after a few months, I can already feel and see the difference. My heart pounds less, my thoughts circle less, my shaking is less bad too, overall my anxiety is more ''Tamed'' because by doing the very thing you are afraid of or anxious about, you are slowly teaching your body and mind that it is not ''Dangerous'' and that you are safe, because anxiety is basically about anticipating danger or risk. My therapist has been helping me, but all the work has been done by myself for finally going out there and trying. I'll be honest, the first few times were HORRIBLE. But it gets better with practice, and now I go to certain social gatherings without any anxiety and it is SOOOO WORTH IT!! You go girl. <3
I definitely can relate to the social anxiety . I also haven't had many friends throughout my life and it's hard to put yourself out there. The friendships that i have established over the years (i'm 26 btw) are with people who have the same interests as me (reading , nerdy shit) i met them online for me it's easier that way to start a conversation instead then irl . A personal goal of mine is uploading again on my RU-vid, i feel like because im dutch and i film in English i am not good enough but i just need to do it because i really want to. Even though its giving me so much anxiety. Anyways i love your personality and your content and i am so glad youre back. You just feel like a friend i've never met 🩷🩷
i actually just read where the crawdads sing and my copy was from a used bookstore so i also didn’t support the author lol. i think it’s worth checking out if you have it? but yeah the author is kinda whack but the plot of the book is kinda fitting for her lmao. i have some issues with the book but i found the main characters story and relationship to others and to books/nature to be more compelling then the actual plot
Omg it’s a Peyton video!!!! Somehow I missed the last SIX uploads you’ve posted!! I thought it had been like 6 months since you posted but omg I’m so excited to see the others that I missed. Happy Birthday Peyton and congrats on your new apartment!
