Can instill wonder and inspiration. The flavor of a candy you like, an article of clothing you love, various trinkets displayed at your place, etc. Doesn't have to be positive either. an annoying habit of your boss, a wet sock, something that made you cry, and so on. It helps that we have the notes app ready at our fingertips for all things bullet points and incomplete/passing thoughts. The more trivial it is, the more room it'll give you to explore your creative abilities and return to if unfinished.

It's basically just an analog notes app, but it's something separate from your phone that allows for a little more disconnection from technology. Plus, it's tangible. So you can have a visual representation of the amount of thoughts or ideas that you've had over time. You'll have a collection of mini books that you can go back through and see where your mind has been. I'm about to finish my third little guy, and it's fun to have a collection of pages that represents my ingenuity and reminds me of memories I've forgotten. Sometimes I make myself laugh when I go back through or I contemplate something I said or I disagree with a comment I made a while back, or I feel inspired to rehash something I'd written.
Today I went back through and found a drawing I don't remember doing. I found a short grocery list from who knows when. I found a bunch of ideas I want to go back to. I found these comments too: "A vape is sitting on the subway seat next to me. Should I hit it and see what happens?" and "I'm on the six early in the morning and just watched a homeless man light another homeless man's crack pipe. Sharing is caring."

That really cool turn of phrase you just heard? That satisfying pairing of words you just thought about? That tv show you forgot the name of until right now? All in this one little thing

Big on leaving myself little notes in my work notepad. I forget and get a nice little reminder 🖤

i absolutely adore looking at people's handwriting, legible or not. i love neat script and i love chicken scratch. it is personal and intimate because it's your own but also something you picked up along the way from all those around you! the ways i've written f's, g's, a's, and so on have changed over time from observing other people's neat ways to write them. it is so beautiful to be able to recognize someone's handwriting tbh bc it means handwriting holds so much personality. if it's hard to read, i don't care. i'll ask you what it says. i'll pick up the nuances of your handwritten alphabet.

the frenzy of it all, to be tardy by just a few seconds. a shared oopsy shrug. a room full of laughter and love for the new year anyway. ringing up a friend, kissing loved ones on their cheeks. first hugs of the year. two flutes of champagne. scattered fireworks in the neighborhood. no frown on anybody's faces. tonight, everything is warm and hopeful and light. we are so lucky to have this new day, this new life. wishing you all a beautiful and kind 2025.
