i loVE it. who r u carrying……. where r u going….. i love seeing them o so high up in the sky, i love seeing sea planes and helicopters zipping about the coast, i love seeing enormous planes flying absurdly low over the inner city suburbs as they come in to land.… i love imagining what the view from out the window might look like and what the most precious cargo might be and the most surreal interaction onboard. i’m very upset that we’ve become so reliant on them, given how bad they are for the environment and how sad they make the whales, but i am still astounded that we figured out how to make tons and tons of metal fly. beautiful in the most dangerous way

I was flying back home today when it dawned on me just how odd planes just driving around on the ground is. It’s like seeing a mudskipper out of the water or a crow walking on land. It is natural yet seems so unnatural, like take to the sky you winged creature of metal and plastic, do not spend your time here with us terrestrials, fly I say fly!!!

My favorite hobby is watching for planes and checking where they’re coming from and where they’re going on the flight radar app… if you live near a major airport this is the greatest activity in any season and something that gives me a reason to take a walk to the pier. Love to see a plane coming from super far and imagining all the tired people ready to land in the little tube in the sky.

why does it feel like you are travelling through space and time. How are we flying? have planes been taken for granted?

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
