I feel like birding is becoming popular with a younger subset and for me it’s about connecting with what’s around me and being delighted by simple, practical knowledge. my goal right now is to figure out which ones are serenading me when I go to work each morning! pictured are Eurasian collared doves I identified the other day 🐦

because this is the summer of hobbymaxxing i went birding for the first time today and it was so relaxing! a great way to get out and truly appreciate nature in all of its glory. i used to be afraid of birds but i found myself awestruck by the natural beauty and grace they exude.
if youre anything like me and have been consciously trying to reduce screen time/phone use, birding is a great activity because (1) youre outside and (2) youre actively searching for birds with your group!
check your local parks and rec for opportunities!!

Looking for/at birds more closely is an easy way to bring more joy into your life every day... i have been birding and learning my birds for some years now but i think everyone could benefit from some casual birding!! even if you don't think you care about birds you start looking at them and you will care... it's incredible... irl Pokemon

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too
