Summary: Harry and Y/N are broken up but still good friends. He worries that he’s holding her back from moving on and finding love again, so he tries to distance himself from her. But Y/N is too sweet and people are too dumb to treat her right. Stuck between his fear of hurting her and his desire to give her the love he knows she deserves, Harry finds himself in a difficult predicament.

A/N: This fic was inspired by two songs by The Weeknd: Hardest to Love and Scared to Live. Also, Y/N is bisexual in this one—just mentioning this for anyone looking for bi!Y/N fics :)
A proper evening/night routine can not only help you reduce anxiety but can also be really fun! Here are some of my essentials for a calm evening, for you to take some inspo!! <3
Light a candle. My current favourite is ‘pumpkin harvest’ from Yankee! <3
Run yourself a relaxing bath. You can add a bath-bomb or rose paddles to make it even more relaxing!!
Do your skin/hair care. Remove your make-up, moisturise and maybe try some overnight hairstyles.
Charge your phone and any device you might need.
Care for your pets and tell them you love them. <3
Go for a walk and enjoy the cool evening air. Fresh air always calms me. :)
Put on a comfy pyjama and get a fuzzy blanket.
Catch up on some youtube videos or shows. I love watching video essays; my favourite channel is Mina Le!
Make yourself some herbal tea to calm down. Some good ones are Chamomile, Lemon balm, Peppermint and Lavender.
Finish your homework and tidy your desk. Staying organised, yk.
Read for a while and listen to some music. I’m currently reading 'My year of rest and relaxation’. Should I review it?
Update your diary or journal. List some things you’re grateful for.
Try meditation if your day was stressful. <3
Meal prep for the morning. I recommend overnight Oats!
Plan ahead and ensure you have your alarm set so you don’t stress in the morning.
Fluff your pillows and make your bed cosy, so you can sleep comfortably.
Try sleeping early so you get your 8 hours of beauty sleep.
