My biggest regret in life is that I am not a physicist. I took physics in high school and almost did not pass the class, but I felt passionate about the subject. The poetry of mysterious concepts such as, “general relativity”, “wave particle duality”, and  “the 4th dimension”, filled my teenage imagination with wonder. To this day, when I feel bored/asleep in my life, I watch videos about black holes or string theory and it helps my mind re-open to the unknown. My favorite video of all time on YouTube is this one, where Carl Sagan, (the mister rogers of science), calmly and gleefully explains ways to visualize the 4th dimension. It made me realize that we do not just HAVE shadows, but we ARE shadows of a higher dimension. How exciting!

Same! I wasn’t the best in physics but it had something that tickled my brain. I just recently started reading more and I love it đŸȘ

I never remember how to do it afterwards, but while I’m watching the videos I always feel like I just took the Limitless pill.

Which is odd for me because my recall memory is very very visual. I seem to narrate what I'm saying, which is also how I read stories, in my own voice either right before or while I'm saying/typing something (like this for instance). The way I hear it is in the same slightly tonal pattern in which I talk, seems very real and normal. I also tend to think about thinking a lot and getting in the weeds in the WHYs of everything. Whether it's my anxiety or other diagnoses, my brain really wants to focus on something I don't understand until I figure it out and there are just way too many things in the world in which that does not mesh with the reality of our dumb little human brains. I think a lot about how we are both electric sacks of meat and gas and rock and perhaps some other 4th thing that somehow can fathom at least the existence of the universe.

That's pretty wild. And then you can think about the people up there who are reading books and watching movies and having sex in small gross boxes??? Amazing stuff.

This is the most stunning film I have ever seen. I have rewatched it countless times and each time it feels like a gift. My dad’s side of the family is from Poland so I feel extra proud of this one, but even my non-Polish friend’s who have seen it come away feeling  inspired. Please watch it even if you think you aren’t interested in black & white foreign films. Even if you have no soul, the actors are so smoking hot gorgeous magical that you will be obsessed. The director, Pawel Pawlikowski, is a genius.

I use a basket as a purse. Purse is yuck: smelly/full of crumbs/abyss. Basket is delight: whimsy, open, easy to carry plums. You can easily see and access everything you have in your basket, but if you wanted to be discreet you could use a scarf to conceal your belongings. What’s in my basket? Wouldn’t you like to know.

Dreams! I love having them and I love hearing about them. When I ask my friends what they dreamt, I get to know them more deeply. I love watching my friend’s eyes grow wide and stare within as they try to recall a dream about their mom becoming a poodle at the barbecue with corn kernels falling from the sky. No one is safe from the feral disturbing images of the subconscious. I want to connect my weird inner world with the weird inner worlds of my friends. p.s. the music video for my song, Bump, was inspired by a dream I had about a tall man with teapots for feet.
