the knowledge that, at all times, all sorts of drama is unfolding in the sky above me and i just need to go to a dark place and look up, is profoundly humbling yet uplifting. it’s the best nature-based “attitude adjustment” (followed closely by relaxing in a stand of old growth trees).

i have a tendency to hole up inside, but i’ve been trying to go outside more when it’s nice out. the woods is a magical place, and i went to check out a new trail by my house with a creek. outside is full of whimsy and you can pretend to be a fairy or something frolicking through the forest 🧚‍♀️

Try to pick up the habit of taking walks around local parks, forests (where you feel like it’s safe) or if it is a possibility go on hikings. And this advice is particularly special for you, as a fellow artist I have this theory that we have this ability of finding beauty in everything, even in the things we might not even like. And most definitely I’m sure you’ll find yourself amazed by the things you’ll find by looking at your surroundings with calm and attention. There is no better way to feel alive than by feeling amazed, feeling wonder. It makes me, the world and my problems feel insignificant against the beauty of it.

during the pandemic i decided that only watching films in your house was depressing and i would never be that person. i started going to the movie theatre at least once per week and i now believe it is an important element of living chic-ly. i am now swimming in SCENE points (only canadians will understand that), a member of multiple film societies, and blithely unaware of anything on netflix.
i want to know how you felt watching anatomy of a fall after a breakup or what it was like to take your niece to the paw patrol movie in your depressing hometown movie theatre or that you were inspired to watch cleopatra jones after reading rupaul’s new memoir. i don’t really want to know why you gave dune 2 4.5 stars nor am i interested in your quippy one-liner about the zone of interest (i hate all letterboxd reviews that are try-hard, quippy one liners, but I really hated those!)

being properly outdoorsy is a big time/lifestyle commitment and being completely alienated from nature is undignified (and probably bad for your health). knowing a bit more about your environs than the average joe and being moderately well-versed in “reading nature’s signs” is a good and reasonable goal.
