going to my first ever writing retreat tomorrow & i don't know anyone & which obscure band tees should i wear all weekend to foment conversation w no one

yes i woke up legitimately upset bc in my anxiety dream i'd just worked my first 10 hour shift as a baggage handler at O'Hare & as reward i was promised a special job tmrw: backstage w Green Day to...help them prep for their flight?! i also couldn't remember my phone number. my brain is broken

mostly i should keep avoiding seeing family members because they would despise my new tattoos [except for my über-cool niece who gave me the idea for this newest one] ⚓️🌸💜 #makeyourself

my favorite inspiration this weekend has been from Suleika Jaouad's book/essay collection The Book of Alchemy, which has a writing prompt at the end of each essay. fave/most helpful so far: instead of a to-do list, write a to-feel list. then see how i can honor those feelings with my actions

tweets but tears fingers but worms basketball but w a frozen turkey blue jeans but chain mail a band made out of former presidents grey poupon chapstick trees that inch closer all humans sharing one body the opposite of doctors a nuclear bomb that is just annoying

remember when we used these places to share things we loved reading/listening to/seeing? no me neither. but John & his curated links are here to remind me & teach me the excellent word 'lethean' ♥️ & as my matron saint Simone Weil says "attention is the purest form of generosity and love"
