Went out on a road trip this weekend and brought my film camera with me. I’ve had some fellow photographers and non photographers spark conversations with me about my camera and it’s so nice making these connections in a new place. Highly recommend having a ‘visible hobby’. Plein air painting is also a great hobby for this!
(Stay tuned when I get my photos developed)

my husband has started whittling and apologized for the little wood chips all over the porch and i was like “no i love it, it makes me think of you sitting with your little knife carving your little bird“ i love the mess it leaves, fragments of moments of peace everywhere

Even if it's just a kids one from Amazon (I have a $19 one, horrible quality but captures life just great :)
I went to a concert last night and came to the very upsetting realization that i forgot my camera :( I came up with the idea to buy another one now since I'm getting good use of the one I have.
I have a TON of creative hobbies, and it gets overwhelming to invest so much into each craft (financially and time wise, considering the more you invest the more you feel pressured to have to focus on that hobby). Even as a creative (with a very cluttered work space), you don't have to have the toppest of notches for every hobby you partake in.
Owning a camera and taking pictures often should be a hobby for anyone, creative or not.
Don't be afraid to start from small!
A bit extra rambling since I'm very high :)
•at the concert, we were given physical media of ticket stubs, even though everything was handled digitally, making me even more aware of the sentiment I love of how important physical media is
•lately, I've been wanting to get more into leaving something behind everywhere I go, kind of an exchange to the earth (collect via camera, place something in return via tagging, stickers, notes, etc).
•as someone who (a) has too many hobbies to handle time wise (b) is never consistent with sharing on social media, I try to box myself in a bit as to not be too overwhelmed with all my hobbies, constantly trying to get myself to have "priority" hobbies. I am trying to turn this off and become more consistent so that I can build communities. My lifelong goal is to build a community of artists and create more spaces for them. I'm trying to be less shy, so that people know that I'm over here and I'm bringing more people like them!

Picking up a hobby that doesn’t revolve around content creation and documentation. it can still involve media consumption but documentation i believe stops my creativity and my will to continue freely dead in its tracks. And for what? so others will know?

I feel like middle aged or older adults have such a good sense of themselves, at least from an outside perspective. Everyone I know from family to co-worker to teacher who is within this age range is so easy to describe. Their characteristics are easy to point out and their personality is very clear. I feel like this isn't as true for young adults and teens and especially not for kids. Maybe it's because we're open to changing ourselves more and definition hinders our ability to grow. I feel like this is obvious but an observation non the less.

The person who created this site is so insanely knowledgeable and creative, if you are at all interested in medieval history this website will be up your alley. So go visit their monastery and sign their guestbook as a pilgrim of St. Blamensir. (the cemetery is also sure to make you cry)

I’m not at home for most of the day but you can bet when 4pm hits she’s there waiting at the front door for me.
I’ve been sick lately and had to lock her out while i diffused essential oils in my room to help with my sinuses. I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN she was wailing and scratching at my door and the look of joy in her eyes when I stepped out my room filled me with unbearable guilt.
I love my cat more than anything on this earth and everyday is a bit better knowing i’m her favourite person ❤️🩹
