I love this substack essay by a friend of mine which touches on grief, permanence, and the limits of emotional self-expression.: https://open.substack.com/pub/clarencefherdrich/p/tombs-die-too?r=abgpe&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

I wrote this on my substack yesterday and I’m SO proud of it. I love finding the words randomly on a bus somewhere

🪹I‘m not ready to do this myself, but reading this community’s reflections on grief has been very bittersweet. Thank you to anyone who has been so open and warm enough to share your feelings and memories here.

☀️here are some things I've done in my 20s that were a blast:
- learned to fly a kite (flying a kite as an adult is the best - i recc doing it at the beach if you can manage it, more wind there)
- recreating one of the showstopper bakes from the Great British Bake Off (it absolutely sucked but was really fun haha who knew baking was an exact science?)
- bought some blank white shelves and invited all my friends over to paint them
- attend a workshop at the library (i went to one that taught me how to pickle vegetables!)
- make a perfect summer playlist, burn it on CDs, give it out to friends
- make a different kind of lemonade/iced tea every week (i really looked forward to opening my fridge every day when I was doing this)
- buy a book of poetry and spend so so so long going through the pages and illustrating the poem in the margins (or doodle whatever)
- find a local pizzeria/bar that does open mics and go listen to the performers with some friends (why not? pizza? music? and lots to talk about!)
- make shaved ice at home! (or home made ice cream if you're feeling particularly bold)
- go listen to your municipal band play at the park
- figure out whats in season in your region produce wise and challenge yourself to make dinner just from what you can find at a farmers market or something
