here's what was in my salad today: spinach, green olives, marinated artichokes, red onion, cherry tomatoes, parsley, salami, sun dried tomatoes, spicy roasted chickpeas, & little mozzarella balls!
Ignore me in the corner but if you mix chickpeas and white beans with literally any salad ingredient it somehow gets better all week long. This is just beans. Green pepper. Cherry tomatoes but in yellow(?). Cucumber. Lemon. Salt pepper garlic paprika. Olive oil. I’ve been eating it for 2 days and no end in sight. ALSO KALE THERES KALE AND THE KALE DOESNT WILT

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.
just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
