💭as someone who’s realized they are chronically online (i hate it trust me), i’ve realized that all the media consumption really has caused me brain rot lol.
with that being said, i’ve been trying to watch documentaries and movies that are normally out of my comfort zone to not only learn new things but also to help me with forming thoughts about *said* things because…sometimes i go with what people are saying online because a bunch of people are saying it (once again i hate it too trust me)
all this to say, dont knock something till you try it - it’s good for your brain and your soul to develop opinions

💔Watched a three hour video essay today that I found insightful in some places, and genuinely enlightening and perspective altering in others, but also for the most part really infuriating and like it was missing the forest for the trees!!!!
But sitting with that and thinking about WHY it rubbed me up the wrong way, where that was a genuine fault of the creator or something it was worth me getting uncomfortable about, as well as seeing genuinely insightful commentary about it in the comments section, has probably been good for my soul, even if my rambly Tumblr post about the stuff that bothered me probably needs to be deleted before too many people see it lmao. It's good to think deeply, and to be made to think deeply and critically!

📚Saw a post on here that said willful ignorance is hot/in and I’d argue that it’s waaaay hotter to be aware of what’s going on in the world around us. ESPECIALLY during scary times like this.
There is a big difference between taking care of your emotions and being dangerously unaware!
By staying ignorant and avoiding the news you stay compliant, so while it’s hard, I instead urge you to remain active, read, learn, teach, and engage!!! whether it be digitally, with friends/family, locally, or globally -community is key 💕💕💕

☄️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.

💦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.

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.
