it may sound counterintuitive but sometimes youve gotta get out of your space. recently ive been going on walks with my friends (im bad at coming up with things to do). shoot the shit, take random turns, come up with silly walks, end with a hot beverage!

i think in college i got so used to walking just for the sake of getting to a place, like a class or meeting. i am trying to go out and Wander more, led by instinct or curiosity and paying closer attention to everything around me. even better with a friend or two

a super unique and cool rec for u all...
but i just moved from the Oakland hills to a more walkable area and !breaking news! it is completely changing my life for the better. at first i found it difficult to motivate myself but setting out my clothes shoes and headphones the night before so i can just slip into the fit and goooo has helped a ton.
i also like to give myself little, informal quests to complete on each walk just 2 spice things up so here are some from the past week:
- listen to a new episode of POOG or Seek Treatment (the only 2 pods i listen to)
- find a blue box and finally mail that damn letter to Laura
- re-fill bag of coffee from Ain't Normal cafe
- call my BFF in Copenhagen bc time zones align at 7 in the morning
- buy q-tips at Walgreen's
some ideas for next week to pay more attention to my surroundings and connect:
- bring my film camera and take 5 pictures
- notice 5 birds, trees, flowers, plants, etc
- smile at 5 strangers!!!
- call my parents bc they're probably on a walk too
- call my grandparents in India bc time zones also align...
anyway. i love 2 walk now

Haven’t done this… more of a recommendation for myself… but i imagine it’ll be really nice to change my usual walking scenery and to possibly discover something new..

It was really friendly and I felt very lucky to be so welcomed by a total stranger cat. I tried to see the name on its collar a few times but it was too squirmy.
After a few minutes of watching it roll around, I felt that I spent enough time in a strangers driveway laughing at and scratching a cat. When I started walking though, it lazily followed me! I made sure it didn't get too far from where it stopped me and the rest of my walk felt a little lighter.
