I’m in Paris rn which is similar to NYC in many ways, but wildly different from it in others—in big ways (dif language) and small (the bottle caps on plastic water bottles all uncrew and then flip up instead of screwing off). International travel is still somewhat new to me so I’m always excited to see the different ways people live all over the world due to their history or climate or geography. For instance, never seen a toilet like this before, doesn’t exist in my reality but it does here.

i realized that despite my very consistent days and schedule there was so many things I didn’t notice about my routes that bring me way more joy, strange signs, neat graffiti, abandoned things, consistent things changing things. It’s not a full life shift but it made me much more interested in my mundane world

when walking in the world and you see a place that makes you think: What goes on in there!?

Spring always brings it out of me. The buds on the trees! The breezy warmth! The tulips appearing where there was once only a small patch of dirt for dogs to piss on! Everything is incredible and awesome and absurd and I’m always so grateful for the moments I can get past my own relatively small problems to stand in awe of the world :,)

you choose a decade and a country and it gives you obscure music from that time and place. built from the private collections of djs and crate diggers all over the world, there are so many gems on here. bonus roadtrip game–play a song and make your car mate guess the country/decade

I have lots and generally stopped overthinking them after my first one. In theory, permanently marking your body is seen as an eternal commitment that carries a ton of weight, but I’ve really benefitted from flipping that on its head and using tattoos as a practice to remind myself of the impermanence of life and of my body (we’re all going to die :)). Now I give them to myself with needles from amazon, I let friends tattoo me, I get them on a whim when I’m traveling. I think a lot of people are scared of carrying physical markers of all the different people they’ve been (myself included), but I think doing so is actually a great practice in self acceptance—carrying all those versions of you, on you, all the time, baring them for others to see. The ones I got 4 years ago that I wouldnt get today don’t bother me even though I no longer resonate with them; they’re a personal history of sorts. And because of the whole death thing, all tattoos are temporary :)
