Tree climbing

Fantastic way to connect with nature! so many benefitssss 1. literally hug a tree if you’re into that 2. practice your agility 3. unique activity that can be enjoyed alone or with friends 4. Grounding 5. Brings a sense of childlike wonder 6. you don’t even have to climb—> chillax on the ground while snapping pics of ur friends struggling in the branches, or bring a book to enjoy on a low branch 7. built in opportunity to make a move on a crush! Be all cute and bashful: ask for a lift Be the helpful reliable sort: help boost ur cutie into a tree Prove how cute/ charmingly competitive and capable you are: scale that tree and be really cheeky about how skilled you are 8. Disclaimer: nature should be respected and undisturbed….. with that being said if you happen to find urself up in the branches with a pocket knife…. Fulfill that childhood dream of carving ur name 9. Fantastic vantage point for ppl watching 10. Scaring passerby’s in whatever creative way you like *WARNING* There is always risk in outdoor activities! 1. If you’re not agile, have issues with the dizzies, are afraid of heights, etc. Be very very cautious… pls don’t fall and hurt yourself 2. Careful with electronic and valuable! if it’s just you (in a park for instance) be sure to take your things up with you/ hiding them, if with pals… have someone stay on the ground with your stuff 3. Beware climbing drunk at night… wildly fun… know that you will likely wake up looking like you got into a fight

As a ghost:

To start—> I don’t want this to come off as trauma dumpy, I am v happy with the person Ive grown into. Who I wouldn’t be if I didn’t have these experiences:) I’ve moved around so so so much especially as a kid. I used to feel v guilty bc there were a lot of friends I left behind bc of circumstances beyond my control. This pattern became a trend that continued throughout my life. Went to 4 high schools; was going thru a lot, and was referred to as a ghost. Having someone you didn’t even realize knew who u were say “omg! It’s been a year! We thought you’d died, wow, how are you? Yk a lot of people tried to reach out…etc” completely changed my perspective on the world. I didn’t even realize the possibility I was really noticed outside of my immediate friend group. Another case happened this year at university. I was chatting w someone from a class, their friends walk up to say hi, and one says “your name is Sophia right?” I said yes and assumed I’d just met her while drunk at a show. So I apologized, and asked her name/ where she was from and all that jazz. It got more awkward when she said we went to the same school growing up, same class and everything. I didn’t recognize her at all, but obviously she knew me, it was so bizarre. Continued to see her around campus nearly every day for the rest of the year Lolz. It didnt all actualize for me until recently, and still makes my head spin. I can’t imagine how many people I unintentionally became a ghost to :// being perceived is crazyyyy

Give yourself Grace

In this regard, to what I like to call a funk. I feel très dookie. Lots of change in my life, and in times of instability I tend to fall off the horse- in a major way. Like many ppl. This past go round I have been excessively hard on myself over my general lacking in… well almost everything. Ive come to the conclusion that there are times you have to give yourself more grace than you’d like to. Maybe the pity party can last a couple more days than usual. I won’t go into details, bc as those of you reading who have dealt with mental health struggles, it can be sort of gross. Sure. There’s a ton I could be doing to put an end to my funk. Make more of an effort to dig myself out of the hole. But, at the end of the day I know I will come out of the funk in my own time. Faking myself out, and convincing myself I’m feeling better serves no one. Making yourself feel worse over feeling bad in the first place is just wildly counterproductive. Just keep moving forward in time. There’s a lot of it <3

Not really a vid essay but…

If youve ever been curious about the culture and science around drugs, Vice had a series called Hamilton’s Pharmacopia. Some episodes/ specials are available on YT. Premise: Documentary Series- Hamilton Morris is a chemist with a proclivity for studying the effects of different substances and how they work. Each episode is interesting he interviews all sorts of ppl from all walks of life. For instance: interviews a visual artist seemingly addicted to DMT, Native Americans who welcomed him to experience a guided ritual, scientists who did jail time for synthseizing research chemicals… and so so so many more. I‘m not super into the chemistry aspect, but a significant aspect of his show is based in the sociological and psychological affects of illicit substance. I linked one of my favorite episodes:) I also just luv Hamilton ❣️ and if he ever sees this 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 lolz
