Posting rambling Recs/comments when you're sick

The intern has been coughing up a storm at the office for over a month now, and this week's sacrifice to the gods of snot and sniveling is yours truly. I'm currently sat on a folding chair in my parents' backyard, at the edge of the pond, soaking up sunlight and fresh air like an old-timey tuberculosis patient in new-timey sweatpants. Half of the time my thoughts don't make any sense. When I open my mouth, you'll hear my fever talking. Nevertheless, I'm out and about, spouting words and comments that could be profound - probably only to wake up a week from now and think: "What was that even supposed to mean?"

to tell you the truth

i am sick in bed. to lay in your sick is to lay with your self. To lay with your quiet coughing and distorted voices from your phone and footfalls of other bodies in the house moving, shadows underneath the door a certain essence of a person unconfirmed until i open or crack a sliver and then i will know for sure. that it is not a spirit come to whisk me away but a hand knocking to offer me advil. so i dream wistlessly as i lay in my sick and i hope to go be small enough to live in the nests of flowers and plats at the greenhouse. But oh I must have my phone with me and a sketch book and my partner and some clothes- maybe a skirt. maybe i will have wings too and i will go visit friends from corners where they cant fully see me- shadows under the door i could be anything, anyone, until they open

The public library

Really, the public library is just a big living room. Enjoy it as such.

Being patient, focused, and diligent.

Learning something new (especially but not only languages or skills) takes a lot of time and focus. Be patient and open! I often get a feeling of instant panic or frustration when I approach something new that seems too confusing. But stick with it, and things will start coming together! This is important not only for approaching external things, but also for working through your own ideas. This is my grad school affirmation I have to tell myself every time I open my laptop 😱
