my mom has been teaching me to hand embroider. it’s much more painstaking than using a machine. it’s much more peaceful, too.Ā

didnā€˜t realize how fun getting crafty with your hands can be. go as slow or as fast as you like. repetitive, meditative, and very calming!

this summer, we’re starting yoga, we’re learning a new language (being bilingual is now the standard, you need to know at least three to be truly chic), we’re going to concerts just because the tickets were cheap, we’re going to museums (especially the weird ones), hitting up the local library to ask for new recommendations, whether it’s a surprise or based on past tastes, we’re painting, collecting and collaging, sewing and embroidering our clothes, re-learning the harmonica, playing chess with strangers online and at the cafĆ©, we’re taking up tennis and pretending it’s not just because of challengers. the only way to find what brings you joy is to try.

I had to go to Greenwood Cemetery for a class last semester, and many famous people like Leonard Bernstein and Jean-Michel Basquiat are buried there, but I stumbled upon this woman’s grave that read ā€œFORTUNATE DESPERATE TRUSTFULā€ and I was so upset by the idea of someone putting desperate on my grave that I had to look her up. her name was Eleonora Duse, apparently she was often known as just Duse (so chic), she was an amazing Italian actress, muse, and, importantly, was involved in numerous lesbian love affairs. I think it’s in many ways much more respectful to learn about the people you pass by, rather than just letting them go on unacknowledged and unknown.
