i used to think that i could one day solve all the personal issues that were holding me back from my phantasmic idea of happiness and once i reached the top of that hill i would live forever; bathing, figuratively, in morning light from a kitchen window, a purring cat by my side and no dishes in the sink, and now i see my life stretching out, beyond that calm august day and into the sludgy, dark evening commute of an eventual february and back, and i see that my life is not a problem to be solved but a state of constant movement, two steps forward and one step back in perpetuity. my joy will be lost and found over again with the swing of that pendulum

i feel like each of us lives an alternate reality from one another where we can either align or experience different feelings at different times. good and bad are perspectives on life events (internal or external) that fluctuate across time. in this way we canāt generalize life as one thing. we move through the āmotions.
will be pondering thisā¦

The world is electric, sad, crazy, pretty, lost, exciting, needy, spinning, wtf now. But I want to be completely unafraid to live every day. The girl who still sings funny lyrics, cries when she sees a flapping pigeon trying to escape, longs for the things her Maker has wired her for, the girl who chases after weird rabbit holes that she thinks are cute, has NO idea how things will turn out the next day, the passion that turns her hot and cold, the girl who thinks through everything but also effing go like, I should have gone on that boat.
I really should have. Because life.

i am not ashamed to say i have been having a tough time understanding that statement. living here in prague is such a blessing that has saved me in a lot of ways (!!!). however, there are moments i desperately pray for stability. the city can sometimes feel like a graveyard of people i once knew. it is getting really difficult repeating this cycle: meeting someone who you truly connect with, making the most of the time you have while simultaneously counting down the days til they leave, then grieving them when they are gone. my friend liza and i call prague āloveless cityā because of this. everyone is on different life paths here and everyone is on the move, which i suppose could be said for any city. but, i donāt exactly have stable footing here either so everything feels heightened. i digress, iāll step off my soap boxā¦ all i mean to say is that movement is life, everything moves (including me), and thatās just how the cookie crumbles! taking time to slow down and find routine in small things is necessary for me these days

Exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes you have a large and juicy citrus fruit that you want to peel and consume like a starved chimp but without the stickiness. So do this in a slightly cold shower. So refreshing and wild
