just try taking the bus with no stimulation… no phone no book at MOST your headphones just on noise control mode…. be amazed at how many thoughts you think and how wonderful the world outside your window is <3
listening to music on a bus or on the train while alone and looking out the windows with some music in your ears is the closest thing to the poetic experience ever
It’s sweet and sentimental—you’re up, ruminating and thinking just like when your taking yourself with a good walk, but with less physical activity.
++ you can reflect with a good song and hear the sound of the bus moving, in transit.
my experience is coloured by the STM being pretty chill but there are truly few things nicer than getting on a random bus route with your headphones and a good album and getting driven on a little adventure around the city. real potential for "my life a movie for real" moments
Maybe it’s just my frontal lobe developing but I’ve been really simplifying the aesthetics of my life lately… no more dyed hair or heavy makeup… pared back outfits, plain nails and switching auto-caps back on…. Investing in the quality and durability of things/people in my life rather than the folly of aesthetic currency.
Theres something awesome about feeling like I’m enough as a person on the inside without trying so hard to reflect it on the outside. I don’t have to be the most interesting person in a room anymore! I can just be :)
even if it’s really shit. even if it’s just on garageband. music makes the world go round !!!! pour your heart out on da midi keyboard and see what you make
I truly believe the only way to appreciate the times that life feels good is to have some designated wallowing time a couple times a month. What I mean by this is just letting yourself feel like a piece of shit and getting through it all anyways. Right now I feel like garbage but my routine continues - I just do it WHILE feeling my feelings. Repression and avoidance is as stupid as holding ur hand in front of your face to shield from a rainstorm. Let all flow like water baby ✌️🌧
