I used to collect dead caterpillars when I was young. To be honest, I could never find them alive and I used to think this was lame. My dream was to have a butterfly garden, but I refused to buy that infomercial one. Some things are better when they come naturally.
Anyway, my collection of dead bugs consisted of tarantulas, frogs, caterpillar, butterflies, fireflies whose fires had extinguished, and the occasional praying mantis.
I think it’s a kind of no-harm-done approach to bug collection, already finding them dead. They were still cool to look at and I didn’t feel bad about them dying.

Some bugs are scary! And some bugs are fun and silly! And which bugs are which completely depends on the person. But when you see a cool fun critter, take the extra minute to look at it, maybe get a photo of it, make your friends look at it if you're with them! Sometimes you can even pick them up for a minute or two, just be careful (and gentle). Here's a caterpillar!!

Despite my past fears, I have spent the last year leaning to love bugs. Researching bugs and looking for them on my walks and noticing noticing noticing. Things are less scary when they aren’t unknown! The world is more beautiful when you appreciate the things that make it work! To be alive is to be in community with the wild world around us! Bugs are cool!

I like what I like and I like doing things myself (Virgo). Every birthday, for the last few years, I have been making my own birthday cake and I have been loving it. This is a vanilla cake with blackberry jam, lemon curd, and mascarpone whipped cream.
To celebrate my 23rd birthday, I had an intimate dinner party with my family, friends, and my boyfriend. It was a gorgeous time.

I love slow Sundays at the museum. I love seeing the families, the older couples, the new lovers. I love listening in on their conversations. Some are planning their lunch. Others are connecting their lives to the exhibits. It’s beautiful!
When I eventually get bored, I roam around and find the museum cat, Stevie.
