being properly outdoorsy is a big time/lifestyle commitment and being completely alienated from nature is undignified (and probably bad for your health). knowing a bit more about your environs than the average joe and being moderately well-versed in ā€œreading natureā€™s signsā€ is a good and reasonable goal.

I always go on a day long outdoor excursion in a natural or semi natural area (city parks work as long as theyre big enough) ocean or lake is ideal due to outside water's cleansing properties. Laying down on the ground (sleeping, even) and looking at things that are far away are also important, as well as having lunch at a cafe or something with no time limit on how long you take to eat šŸŖ² dont come home until youre feeling sleepy (not just tired)

lately Iā€™ve been confined to a big concrete city and an office job and I miss nature dearly. I donā€™t know when Iā€™ll be able to touch grass again, so I started reading Annie Dillardā€™s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, sort of a nature-walking-diary, kinda mediocre but it does make you feel like youā€™re in the west virginia woods with her, which is all I wanted anyway

Reconnecting with nature. Walking, hiking, biking (even driving sometimes) in huge landscapes, where all our collective achievements (that Iā€™m vicariously proud of) and my individual pains melt into the sheer scale of mother-nature, reminding that she is the spring and the ocean of all life, and all of our imaginary importance comes and goes with us. She, on the other hand, always has been and always will be, and weā€˜re all just some of her fleeting thoughts frozen briefly in time. We are not special. We are not apart of Nature. We are but a part of Nature. Sadly, it seems were losing that part at a high rate.

during the pandemic i decided that only watching films in your house was depressing and i would never be that person. i started going to the movie theatre at least once per week and i now believe it is an important element of living chic-ly. i am now swimming in SCENE points (only canadians will understand that), a member of multiple film societies, and blithely unaware of anything on netflix.

i want to know how you felt watching anatomy of a fall after a breakup or what it was like to take your niece to the paw patrol movie in your depressing hometown movie theatre or that you were inspired to watch cleopatra jones after reading rupaulā€™s new memoir. i donā€™t really want to know why you gave dune 2 4.5 stars nor am i interested in your quippy one-liner about the zone of interest (i hate all letterboxd reviews that are try-hard, quippy one liners, but I really hated those!)
