i had a poetry professor a while back who LOVED found poetry and got me into the habit of writing down any phrase that i encounter and found funny or interesting or profound or wtv and anyway it's my most prized possession. after you start collecting quotes and phrases and words they line up in your notes app and it makes a beautiful profound collage of your life, currently the one in my phone is almost 200 lines long, but here are the first 30 or so lines for reference:
i was outside the matrix with watercolor at list
why is there rice? i didn’t eat rice??
i didn’t sell out i bought it
it was one o’clock forever
i’ve done seen rhode island
bring back the swan
wide eyed babe
you’re gonna carry that weight
ambiguous sentences
sun glitter
i have sick ambiance in my room bruh
and im like wait that’s the roofie
this must be what it’s like to have a child that’s stupid
free prometheus
is the wind taking my cigarette
i like his name, i will remember his name
i am trumps little baby boy
forrest into lumber farm
bad things come in threes so you should break a match
one of the worst parts of the pig farm
i didn’t know killing children was a jew thing
i love your opinions they remind me of state media

No better way to infuse whimsy and novelty into ur life. My fave reccs:
- tahini and banana on toast (from Andrew Brooks’ collection Inferno)
- the song GTFO by mariah carey (Brooks ^ called this ‘the sonic equivalent of huffing amyl’)
- saving worms on the street (from You Up? By Rachelle Toarmino)

A close friend put together this collection of poems for me for a birthday, gorgeously typed out and organised.
Almost two years later, through a changing friendship and moving states, it is still one of my most prized possessions. every time I return to it and read parts I wonder what she was thinking about when she chose a particular poem, if she saw parts of me in it or herself. all of this makes me feel wonderfully connected to her and our shared love for poetry, and known and loved.

So sweet to send them to thank them for your shared experience, and I’d much rather look at one of these than ten pics from that day

go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀

Eg in shower, on walks, during commute, making dinner, to go to sleep, getting dressed. be able to do all these comfortably in silence. then u can try phase them back in in a way where they actually contribute something and ur not just listening for the sake of it
