📖
went out on a little walk because its sunny and warm today, and got myself a little coffee, and stood in Books are Magic reading inside flaps for a while and also got the new john green book (buying a book the day it comes out is the rec within this rec), and then went to the park and did some really helpful brainstorming/outlining of my novel. and all of those things were so fun but they also felt like accomplishments.

🏃woke up feeling shit and saw that my friend had invited some of us to meet up at a coffee shop. immediately got dressed and ran out the door despite my tiredness-- coffee turned into a walk and record shopping and then a group lunch at a big outdoors table. any/every day can be beautiful

⭐Videos. Journals. Planners. Calendars. Playlists. Spreadsheets. Letters to open in the future.
Keeping track of the present (in a way that is low stakes and fun) keeps me from dwelling on the past or feeling upset about changing. It will be there for me if and when I want to return to it! And I get to dip into the things I have thought and felt and loved in the past and maybe they become part of my life again or they don't!
I also love to experiment with form in the ways that I record myself. Journals are a classic, but doing something like journaling in a planner with limited space or on a calendar means you have to pick just one memory from each day. Or making playlists / watchlists / reading lists of what's important to you at a time. Embarking upon fun little challenges of discovery (places, songs, books, movies, foods) and keeping track of what you learn in an organized (or disorganized) way! Video journals or little vlogs just for yourself! Scrapbooking!
Fun in the moment to create and fun in the future to rediscover.

❄️it's an essential part of the human experience?
people who hate talking about the weather need to go find wherever they misplaced their childlike wonder at the variance of nature
