This evening I went out for a walk in the rain. It wasn’t cold and the red lights of Korean BBQ places made it feel warmer.
I walked into a Blenz coffee shop, a few semi-opened umbrellas were huddled by the entrance and there were about 5 or 6 people inside. I went up to the counter and ordered a hot chocolate, took a seat and looked around. The lights were a cozy warm yellow, and there were postcards and pictures and cute art pinned on the wall.
As I waited I listened to the beginning of “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne playing in the background.
Some people worked on their laptops or read while others spoke in low soft voices.
It was a calm moment that made me appreciate those special times when things move slowly.
(My rec- listen to the song but on low volume)

it’s 4 am, there’s snow completely blanketing the streets of my neighbourhood, untouched by the footsteps of passersby or incoming cars.
it’s serenely quiet.
on a summer night, that kind of silence would likely startle me, but the snow brightens the night and makes the stillness feel welcoming. it’s a pleasant solitude rather than pure loneliness. i’m watching the flakes fall and melt as they touch the window pane of my room. it’s warm in here, but if you hover your hand close enough to the glass, you can feel the chill kiss your palm.
i know i should be asleep, but there’s a sense of peacefulness i only seem to get in these early morning hours that escapes me when the whole world is awake. i’ve been listening to this song on loop for the past half hour and it’s comforting to hear it in this cold weather.

January is already especially melancholic, but having no heat doesn't help. And no snow even! Just pure cold.
So lots of music that kind of has the feeling of a large black lake. The twinkling lights on the surface don't hide the depths beneath, you still know to be wary.
Comfort in the act of reflection, in awareness.

Felt at peace not much as to say. Went for a walk while already listening and then stopped here to sit and watched the sunset. Would recommend!

Summer vibes for sure, I remember driving through the streets of Berlin, blasting this song out of my roommates car and hustling to find jobs and money.

There was a special moment in the 90’s where businesspeople had a craze for levitating pens and pendulum toys and things that worked with magnetism.
I wonder if there was this shared feeling that they held a steady control of the helm and the floating pens were actually symbols of their confidence in shaping the world at the time.
The idea that “hey we can make things float so really we can do anything!”
