sometimes when I'm waiting on a piece of news or a message back that matters to me in some big way, I become infested with a nervous energy that just can't sit still inside my normal routines and habits. Art is one place to pour it, I've learnt, but so is deciding NOT to just head home but instead to take a spontaneous turn, and another, and another, until I end up somewhere quite close to home but utterly unfamiliar, perhaps somewhere that I couldn't have imagined was just around the corner the whole time, and in that moment things feel bigger and more open, the future expands far out into the beyond, and my little moment of time finds its drop of peace.
And then I get back on my bike, and head back into my routines, the moment passes and the worry returns, but I ride off knowing that the significance of that expansive moment WILL echo into my actual future, and whatever that message says, I'll know I lived all the way through it

Got some news yesterday about someone I love
Suddenly a lot of things mattered less
Some wishy washy desires became goals
For a little while I had X-ray vision
The world sped up and slowed down at the same time
— I didn’t like the news but I’m glad I know it, because it was already a thing, so better to know
All at once without warning I’m living on a different planet: it is barren, hostile, rocky, and dry
But I know there are treasures here. I’m going to find them.

Lately I’ve been diving headfirst into things I’d usually ignore. random creative ideas, new communities, reading things I’d usually scroll past. Not all of it makes sense, but something about the mess feels electric. It’s not clarity, but it’s motion. And sometimes that’s all you need to shake things up.
PS: Just personal stuff, not work.

this rec’s about life. i think im thinking back on how creativity & exploration were way bigger in my life back in childhood, not stressin around towards certain goals, rushing blindly w an idea of importance. there’s a bit of senselessness to the everyday, somedays either seeming like stayin behind partly closed eyes or like being chased by a big >something< that’s CATCHING UP.
main quest life quickly becomes a task list.
embracing side quest life, discovering and taking back time. do less important stuff (it’s not important) and more fun stuff, letting it take its time. maybe there’s something bigger hidden there than the main story line could ever hold 💫

when there's a bright, low spring sun (like today) and everything is hit at just the right angle to shine
