Dance culture???
Was thinking today about how wild it is that most people attending public school in Scotland are required to learn cultural dances. And then most of the pubs in towns and village will host a dance every month or so? And we can all just go and do our dances because everyone knows them? And it’s super cool and sociable? Isn’t that fun?!! (I love ceilidhs)

Not *that* similar but at my high school, there was a huge emphasis on joining cultural dance clubs. They made it such a huge deal, when you joined you had to perform in what was basically a dance recital. Former students would show up and everything, wish more schools were like this!!

BRING BACK DANCING
Why is dancing not more common? Bad dancing, good dancing, stupid dancing. It’s so freeing to just move to music especially with other people. i guess everyone wants to be nonchalant now :(

Stop Waiting on others
I went to bars by myself just to read and listen to the music. I learned recently that’s the freedom you gain when you go places alone. I spend so much of my life unintentionally waiting for permission to do things. Waiting on someone else to want to do things with me. It’s sort of weird being an adult and being allowed to just go to another country because you feel like it. It’s a freedom that I’ve never been brave enough to explore before. I wonder if this experience was a as weird and wonderful for anyone else as it was for me. (img: sketch of a cathedral i went to on my solo trip)

Little things
Guys no one tells you but it’s actually kind of easy to cheer yourself up if you just focus on the little things. Yesterday I had a horrible day lined up, full of jobs and meetings :( so I wore my favourite shoes. Everyone tells me they're ugly but they make me happy!

FEED BIRDS
I feed the pigeons in my city in different parks about once every week or two. It brings me so much joy, like way more than tv or music or social media. Also! it makes everyone around you happy too, they all take out their phones when all the birds fly down and all the kids smile :)
