eating a whole mango

This may seem simple, but there’s something beautiful about it to me. There are so many ways you could make the experience fit your mood (or your patience). It can be cut into strips, cubed, scooped with a spoon, or just eaten whole if that’s what you’d like. My favorite thing to do is eat them out in the warm sun!

Dried mango (unsweetened)

It is so bright in the mouth that it almost feels like you’re eating sunshine which sometimes helps with the depression lol but also it is just delectable

a website running purely on solar power

Low Tech Magazine runs on a single solar panel. We take for granted just how much energy is needed to keep up with our digital footprint. The tenet of the magazine is to radically reimagine our technology in more sustainable ways. The website has solar panel data so you can see how charged the website is. Running on solar means the website does go offline at times when the sun isn't out. In a world where access to information is so ubiquitous, it's really cool to have a website that isn't always going to be online.

Create with the assumption that no one will see it

and then share it anyway. the people who like it will be grateful you did. who cares if people don’t like it? you didn’t make it for them.

letting people love you the way they want to

Sometimes I get caught up chasing ideals of love. Growing up with immigrant parents in the US, I wished my parents showed me love the way my friends' parents did. My parents seemed cold in comparison to the affection I saw my friends receiving. I fell for best friends who did love me but never enough and never in the ways I wanted them to. Nowadays I have grown to appreciate the ways in which my parents do show me love -- when they ask if I've eaten or when I dye my mom's hair as she peels me oranges. Friendship to me no longer needs to be tied up in such rigid binaries. It's not the label of a relationship I'm after but rather just the intimacy of knowing other people. I try not to focus so much on how I wish to be loved by other people and instead pay attention to all the different ways I am loved. Acting with a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. And in that way, everything feels enough. Disclaimer: Establishing boundaries is paramount. Love that is corrosive or manipulative is not love.
