When someone tells you “I know this place you’d love” in some random country and then you end up going there and try to figure out what about it reminded that person of you

don't let travel be something or a hobby that is for other people. being in a place where the culture is different, there are different social rules, norms helps you find yourself in a way it is not possible in living where the societal understanding is the same as what you are used to. It is so clarifying when you are reacting and liking to new things. so grounding. everyone loves grounding. its worth not buying a few things to save up to go somewhere as far as you can. travelling is not as expensive as u think if u r willing to go somewhere kinda random.
(ps this trick does not work if you just go to tourist places, bc u will just interact with tourists, and not actually get to experience what its like to eat breakfast like a _____ person.)

you gotta take a lot of trips to figure out the perfect recipe of folks to make a delicious travel experience. They match your energy and interests where it’s just easy and fun, stress relievers cuz it can sometimes be stressful on the road.

Not like “oh man I’m driving four hours to get to Fernie” road trips but like a
“I’m in the backseat of the family van and it smells like suitcases and I have my favourite pillow scrunched between the cracked leather seat and the windows and I’m staring at those black dots along the windows edge because why are those there? And its also 5:00am in Revelstoke and we’re about to stop at the borderline satirically named ‘La Baguette‘ for breakfast and the sun isn’t fully up but you can see the mountains”
Road trip. You know. One of those!

I’ve been having big writer’s block recently as well, and I’ve been finding that rewriting things that have happened to me is a good way to just slowly inch back towards creativity. often I’ll write about a “what if” situation - like this situation actually happened, but what if the ending was different? what if that friend decided to confront her bf about the cheating and threw out all of his stuff while he was at work? what if I did respond to that random ad I saw in the paper?

the FIP station lets you listen live to loads of different genres, with no ads and minimal radio host chat (and when it happens, it’s all in French so it sounds cool anyway). Best way to get out of the music algo and find some new shit!

Bonus points if you’re wearing noise cancelling headphones and listening to some moody boards of Canada mix at the same time
