any of y’all on here have an evening routine you like? what do you do?
Conversation
i’m pretty satisfied with how my days and early evenings go rn but the 2-4 hours or so before bed still feel pretty unsatisfying and i’m lost about what to do. like i’m both kinda wired and kinda lonely :/ there are things i could do that would be fun but they’re not calming
oh hmm that would at least be tiring. it’s been cold as shit at night lately but that’s def an option, thx!

go for a walk no phone no music, if it's cold a cup of tea
come home and read a chapter of fiction
write down any interesting thoughts / ideas on paper

The one that's been working for me:
- put on calming tunes in noise cancelling headphones
- smoke some weed
- change into pjs
- brush teeth
- get into bed
- read fiction on my kindle for an hour

been having some chamomile tea lately. no idea if it actually calming or placebo, but feels good.

This is real and v relatable! Sometimes, the 'empty' time (mid-evening for me) becomes the best time to do something like... parts work? Not exactly, but giving the boredom a voice/persona and playing with it - letting it choose the activity - is often nice. It varies.
