with friends and strangers. i spent this evening doing exactly that & it was sooooo much fun <3333 we got together in a big warehouse and we tussled. it was practice for a piece of performance art that my friend is putting on in a couple weeks, which is basically a big group wrestling match. so so intimate & playful, & so interesting to see the ways patterns form in how you occupy the space. and such a fun way to meet new people!!!!!! skip the pleasantries!! get them on the ground!!!!

literally just ran around in a field in the rain with a couple of friends a few days ago ignoring anyone else around- it was amazing

had friends over - from work, from an art class, from childhood, friends-of-a-friend - for a craft night where everyone brings a craft of their choice to do. So so fun!! nice to have friends meet friends, chat together, laugh! guaranteed good time

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!!!!!!!
