Anti-Rec: The Mckibbin lofts
I spent the entirety of the pandemic living in a rented windowless room in the McKibbin Lofts. The only thing I got out of it was a reduction of my projected lifespan by 5-10 years from the asbestos and silica dust permanently seared into the walls.

Lived in a windowless house the last two years because that's all I could afford. Time changes :)

Trying to make a change
I live in a beige $2000 a month 750-square-foot luxury pod not even in a major city like an insane person. I have a TV in my mirror (not kidding) and I don’t even have a bathtub all I have is this shower that makes me feel like I live in a Scandinavian white collar prison. I viewed two rental properties today in older tree-lined neighborhoods and could feel the soul regenerating in my body so I am really hoping I can ESCAPE MY POD
(there are usually products in this shower this was after a cleaning session…)

Magical realism
Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

OPening your windows when it rains
There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.

Taping Old Postcards / Photographs Onto Your Walls
I have done this everywhere that I have lived. There are some beautiful images lost on the discarded blank face of a postcard, and they deserve to be cherished just as much as the big piece of art you have framed in your living room. You can find many for cheap at your local thrift. There’s a lot of fun to be had in grouping different images together for a collage effect. Space them out a bit more if it all feels a bit claustrophobic. Use some blue painter's tape for a pop of color.
