I really like making up little momentary superstitions or deeming random things omens. It adds a sense of whimsy to my life. My friend and I are going to design a little coming-of-spring ritual this year. Silly things like that bring me so much happiness.

I hadn’t thought of these as charms before but I suppose that’s how I treat them??
1. I collect vintage copies of Jane Eyre, but this is my smallest one and as a result it has gone on every trip with me over the past few years since I bought it. Even if I never open it during the trip, I feel better knowing it’s there if I need it, like a portable safe space (especially if the trip is stressful)
2. The necklace with a magnolia flower supposedly represents creativity, so I wear it almost every day as a reminder of what I want to try bringing to the world or seeing in the world (lil corny but true)
3. One of my best friends gave me the ring for my birthday, not knowing I had planned to buy myself a ring to commemorate finishing my first novel that same month—so now whenever I feel discouraged about my writing or ongoing projects, I wear it to remind me I did The Thing before so I can do it again!!!

I’m almost always wearing jewelry that’s meaningful, whether it was a gift from someone or something i bought that reminds me of someone. I also think you can add meaning to things by making them important, like my favorite ring, which I bought just because I love it but now feels like a part of my self because I wear it so much.
In my car, I have a few charms on my mirror:
-evil eye from Turkey, where my mom lived for a few years when she was a kid
-silver kokopelli charm that has my grandmothers initials and says “her car” on it 🥹
-silver colored sea creature bouquet on a keychain that my little brother gave me when he was small
-beaded rainbow octopus from a trip to California to visit family
Also a big fan of collecting good rocks on trips and sometimes I’ll carry one of them in my pocket.

Favorite video essays EVER. They’re so high production quality. Loved the one on animatronics — it was so incredible.
