looking up//curiosity

the more you walk through streets the more your feet remember their path, but to look up is to say "hey whats that"... always a feast for your eyes

Peering back into old worlds, now a stranger

Damn this place was such a dump! But it’s always a cool blend of wist and growth and other feelings to stare back into the increasingly distant past (2017-19, in this case).

spectating from afar

yesterday, I sat in a movie theater, watching a 5/5 film, but somewhere between the frames, I slipped away in my own world. my eyes wandered around the room, scanning the foam-lined walls, the dust resting on cushioned seats, the soft glow of the screen flickering against strangers' faces. for a moment, I was no longer in the film— I was in my own world, watching, unnoticed, in a room full of people, feeling as though i am in a film myself. it happens in the classroom too— pens scratching, pages turning, heads bent in deep concentration. and yet, I lift my gaze, watching the quiet rhythm of work, as if the scene before me is unfolding on a screen, as if I am only passing through. maybe it’s a habit of slipping between worlds. one foot in reality, the other in observation. caught between being present and stepping back, seeing life not just as it is, but as a scene, a story, a moment unfolding. perhaps that’s the beauty of it — to exist both within and outside, to live and to notice, to be part of something yet still see it from afar.

learning slang in a new language

So fun. You feel devious all over again. Plus the locals love it when you throw in a cheeky something for fun.

The deep joy of a niche meme

When you find that meme that truly only a very few could ever understand. It requires deep, archaic, cultural fringe knowledge to connect but when it does… When you don’t even know anyone else personally who you could share it with. But knowing that someone out there gets this little aspect of the world enough to have created this little meme gives you that “Humanity is so beautiful” feeling.
