enjoying an erotic positioning of the self in relation to the sullen and esoteric-seeming guy beside you on the bus

this is a totally inward and wordless thing i find myself doing on transit (in periods when i am confused about myself). An anticipatory heterosexual practice and preparatory exercise in terms of returning to new york. where there is daily opportunity for this. I am recommending this while in the bus bathroom which is a mobile and speckled portapotty essentially. This “passes the time”

Pining on public transit

Go ahead! Imagine the meet cute for that incredibly hot person that just got on your train because it’s silly and fun and doesn’t hurt anyone to think about the “omg what if” for the 10 mins before they get off at their stop and you never see them ever again

keeping an ongoing pleasures list

Currently have three full pages in my notebook! I guess some might call this a gratitude journal LOL but it’s different when I do it.  My brother was telling me about this phenomenon called “target fixation”. It’s a panic reflex that happens when motorcyclists become fixated on a singular object, obstacle, hazard (e.g. a sharp curve on a winding road) and they will unconsciously steer in the direction of the thing they’re trying to avoid because their hands follow their gaze which leads to accidents.  You will follow your gaze so be aware of where you’re looking. Train yourself to seek out pleasure and appreciation! Understanding where + what you derive pleasure from increases your capacity to enjoy things which in turn makes you a more interesting person (imo). I think it’s just as important self-knowledge as understanding your triggers/trauma. It is a daily willingness to be transformed by small things. Sorry for lecturing but I want good things for all of you. Xoxo, meg

Forgive because this where I get a little ~woo woo~ but I think you should only wear necklaces that are imbued with a potent magical vibe… amulets only near the heart and throat you can do whatever you want with earrings/rings but heed my warning about necklaces
