Notice the way the sun shines through your window in the morning, count how many ladybirds you see this year, listen to the murmurs of vague conversation from the next room, watch out for the tiny and resilient plants that spring from the cracks in the pavement, hear the change in your Mother’s tone when she talks in her first language to her sister over the phone. Don’t be ignorant to the beauty in mundanity.

Video someone you love whilst they talk. Record the sound of the birds singing at your grandparents’ house, the sound of traffic in the distance. Write about literally anything, or even just make notes of what you think. Make shitty art, whether it’s poetry or painting or music. One day, you’ll be glad that you have more than just photos to remember your life by; there’ll be evidence you lived.

Not in a creepy way.
I love looking at what they’ve got sat in their windowsill, and imagining the kind of person that stuff would belong to. Picturing the layout, and wondering if I’ll ever live somewhere similar, and whether they like it or not. I often find myself getting carried away trying to envision myself living in that place, in that location, even going as far as to imagine a career and social circles and a morning routine for myself, only to be jolted back to reality when I see the sillouhette of the inhabitant, the vague and shadowy suggestion of a real life person rather than some sort of self-insert. If I’m caught staring, I try to give them a look that says “you’d really benefit from investing in a pair of curtains,”.
