We all learn to accept it in our own time. There is something special about sitting still, reading, having a glass of water, doing yoga…even just cleaning/cooking and having a podcast on. Taking a walk, going to a bookstore/record shop…anything that will let you be present and get off your phone 🩷

I've been growing into this recently. Learning to be okay with no inputs and no outputs. Eliminate distractions. Step away from the stress. Just for a few minutes at a time several intentional times throughout the day. Now I'm finding it bleeds into the regular parts of my day — waiting in life for something, walking into a crowded room, even a lull in conversation — the inner silence surfaces for just a moment. I'm definitely a beginner in this space.

I feel like every year I burrow further into life, everything accelerates faster and faster, becoming more complex and confusing (and sometimes feeling so dark and serious). I feel like I’m always playing catch up with things that have happened, processing them weeks to months to years after they’ve occurred, or only fully appreciating a moment long after it’s passed. My best art and thinking has been when i was  alone in the middle of the night , with no noise or anything around to distract me.I’ve been really into sitting and marinating in a quiet moment (going on a hike, looking out my apartment window in silence at night, journaling, reading an engrossing book, drawing) and attempting to detach myself from the small details and my day to day worries.

it’s healing. no screen, no headphones, no book, no nothing. just you sitting doing nothing and being. maybe inside or maybe (ideally) outside. maybe in a chair. maybe lying down. looking around and observing. maybe 5 minutes or maybe an hour.
