the train

specifically, the mbta. it sucks. it's slow. it's out of service legitimately 30% of the time. and maybe this is the southern belle in me speaking, but I do romanticize time to myself on the train. it's so easy to sink into the anonymity of public transit and simply exist as the trees and roads fly by

Horrible train service

& by that I mean getting to know my immediate neighborhood, going for walks, and trying new things. In the past, I would take the train to familiar places to do familiar things with familiar people, but the horrible train service this summer is forcing me to hang around, talk to new people and try new things. & if I really am trying to get across town, I'm going to walk there or ride my bike. The grand result is: when I make it far away, you can know I made it because I care and I planned it out. & if I see you in the neighborhood, it's because our miracles are impulses.

♻︎ CROW JOURNALIING ♻︎

or junk journaling, if you'd like to not perpetuate myths about crows liking to collect trinkets. i just think it sounds cuter weirdly, as someone who's a writer, i've never really been good at or liked journaling. every planner i've ever owned has remained empty. if i try to write something any time other than when the fancy strikes me, it just feels inauthentic, like i'm trying too hard. this has been the first time journaling actually felt like it had a purpose for me, and actually felt weirdly therapeutic basically, it's just anything i can recycle, i make into a page. i like a common theme, so places i've visited, media i like, similar aesthetics, emotions i'm feeling. and then we get the qr code page & i'm reminded that this is probably the quintessential depiction of what scoring 121 on the RAADS-R looks like eh, i'm having fun🤷‍♀️

wasteland baby (Hozier)

"Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world?" the crooner's sophomore outing, finding beauty and hope amidst the end of the world loved unreal unearth, loved the debut. but if you ask me, this is his strongest album. there's something about the imagery invoked in this album that is so specific, but feels so unique to him. that underwater cover art kinda encompasses that; normally when we think of wastelands, its just dry nothingness for miles. but this feels very "noah's ark flood" end of the world. the calm before the storm, the storm, and the aftermath the VOCALS on this thing go apeshit btw this also just has some of my favorite songs of his. MOVEMENT is criminally slept on. shrike is so bittersweet and beautiful. dinner & diatribes and almost (sweet music) are absolute jams. talk...? TALK?!! jesus christ. i can't listen to the title track without weeping. there's such a melancholy that almost makes me sick but it's like...the hug you'd want from a loved one as the world caves in good time😃! emotional damage😃! have fun😃!
