Traveling alone is important for people. Go find yourself, allow yourself to find your space. Go for a bike ride, get in your car, get in a kayak and drift down a river. Being able to spend time alone in a world where everything pushing at you is key. I like to eat in restaurants alone and be by myself. It gives you self awareness and understand the space that you are, the person that you are. Gotta take a step back from the scene and be a nobody sometimes.

I find that I can only really think deeply about myself and my life when I've had time away from people. I like to find an activity that I can do by myself for myself and I do that for a few hours.

whenever im feeling more lost than usual, in myself or the world, something that really helps me find my center again is just going to the water by myself.
she will always be there for you whether that is through river, pond, fountain, or sea. you will quickly find she wants to take all your troubles away.
try to just sit there with the water and nothing else as best you can, don’t go on your phone, don’t read a book, if you really really need to do something, listen to an album and don’t skip anything or bring a sketchbook to doodle in. just try your very best to be in the moment and nowhere else. if you are at the beach (my favorite place to be with the water) try to keep your eyes on the horizon where the sky meets the ocean. or for any location just look at the patterns on the surface and notice how light dances across it. let the water be a fidget toy for your eyes. there likely will not be any huge aha moment but i promise if you really intentionally spend time with the water, talk to it even, you will leave feeling different in some way. (here is a little collage from my last solo beach day. the most important part is that you do all this by yourself. have a one on one with the water and she will tell you what to do next)

think about it, join me:
maybe journal, maybe clean, maybe egg, maybe egg sandwich. perhaps guitar or favorite record or long shower. refill water whenever you need it. gaze up at a tree from underneath for too long or not long enough or maybe just the right amount of time to realize you have blanket and limitless afternoon and warmth of people you love, and you sit down and look at all of the moss and tiny mushrooms and patterns of the bark and exist within the smallness of yourself in the big wide universe.

Going into a vintage store and finding the perfect t-shirt, the perfect pant, jacket or hat is one of the greatest feelings in the world. See for yourself!

YES to new friends, NO to dud friends, NO to friends that don’t add to your life, you want to be around people that truly inspire you that you genuinely love. Don’t misunderstand what true friends are. Keep your circle small and keep your circle strong. Give as much as you take in relationships, keep it reciprocal.
