sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background
Remember how weird everyone else is. Remember that you’re everyone else. You belong with these people. Your community is spread out in front of you, sprawled along takeout cups, staring at their phones, trying to get home.

greeting each other with a simple smile 🙂and then chilling in companionable silence for the duration of your ride. you’re both on your own separate journeys, but for a brief period of time, you’ve got some nice company to enjoy the trip

a very short and page-turning sci-fi novel that reads like if the matrix had time travel, if you want to have an existential crisis read this.

read this somewhere a few months back and it’s stuck with me. i have a horrible memory, so now i’ve started writing everything down. my own little commonplace book for my thoughts and other people’s thoughts. my own little second brain (check out tiago forte 🙏🙏) WRITE THINGS DOWN!! you’ll thank yourself when you’re feeling uninspired, because chances are your brain had an idea a week ago, a month ago, even a year ago, that can fix that.
