Learning a new language(s)

There’s just something about that scratches an itch I can’t rightly describe. Learning languages feels good and opens so many doors, it activates a part of my brain that I don’t think I’ve used enough. This year I’m trying to get back on the habit of learning Mandarin (which I studied for eight years, yet still feel woefully inadequate speaking), Yiddish (which I spent one year learning, but have since lapsed), and/or French (which I’ve never tried to learn, but there’s a first for everything!)

learn another language

Languages are my weak-spot. I find them very difficult to learn and don’t enjoy learning them but I realllyyyy wish I could. maybe now I’ve learnt how to play chess a language will be my next “thing I’m bad at” to do? i would like to learn sight language but that’s really hard to do without an in person teacher, so maybe I’ll learn Spanish

Magical realism

Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

OPening your windows when it rains

There's something about a wet and humid early morning that heals my soul. It's like a free sound bath. Especially if you are lucky and have a little bit of thunder alongside.
