i was gifted this book & besides my journal and lipgloss, it is the only thing i take with me everywhere all the time no matter what. Rilke wrote beautiful & profound letters to a student of his, though it feels like he wrote them to me, to you, to us. it touches me on an artistic level, but it is also very much a book that pokes at spirituality & existentialism in a way that makes u reach inside yourself to find what already inherently exists inside of u. thx Zander for the gift :‘)

A series of hopeful letters about love, art, purpose and life to a young 20-something cadet by mesmerizing writer Rilke. This man. He lived in the 1900's but it feels like he is talking directly to you. So personal, so intimate and emotional. Beautiful poetic writing, combined with heart-warming advice you'll find yourself thinking of everyday.

I bring this on every trip like it’s a bible ahah. He talks about beauty, pain, love, solitude, nature through the lens of patience and practice and ‘living your way into the answers’. The perspectives really resonate with me I think cause they’re so raw + complex, but also warm + nourishing

i used to feel guilty for taking long walks in the morning bc i always felt like i placed my value in my output, & walking wasn’t something i considered “productive” :///
when i finally gave myself permission to let whatever i felt called to do be productive, the flow of creative ideas, mental soundness & nervous system regulation i felt was overwhelming. in a good way. the sun, the fresh air, the forward movement of my body, the people watching… everything fed the positive energy i seemingly kept for the rest of my day. walking is productive. so is being in the sun. so is doing nothing sometimes. i need that reminder sometimes so this post is for me too :’)
