A Cryptid Party

I finally had the cryptid themed party I had planned for my birthday yesterday. Of course I was MothMan and had all of my other friends dress up.

I had sectioned off each room to for the theme such as my creepy stairwell as the MothMan cult room, the living room as a forest, my dining room as Area 51 alongside the bathroom door that I tinfoiled.

I’m happy that I was in the moment and everyone had a good time, I just wish I took more photos while in the moment. My costume didn’t have pockets so it was hard to keep my phone on me and whip it out to take pictures whilst being the host and making sure everyone was attended to.

I don’t regret it at all. A part of me just wishes I could summon everyone again to get a group photo. There’s a very fine line between taking too many pictures and just being in the moment that I have increasingly become confused about.

Any thoughts?

The UK’s biggest ever online test into stress, undertaken by the BBC’s Lab UK and the University of Liverpool, has revealed that rumination is the biggest predictor of the most common mental health problems in the country.
