Many years ago now I had to go to court for reasons too annoying and complicated to delve into but my day took a turn for the better when my friend and I came upon a fig tree laden with fruit overhanging an alleyway. We climbed that thing in our best gear and when we came down covered in sap with our hands and pockets full of figs there was a pissed-looking man waiting for us who held his hand out and gestured in a threatening way for us to give up the spoils. We thought he was the homeowner and very nicely and demurely handed over half our haul. This diva turns around and walks down the street away from the house laughing his head off and says ‘thanks!’

This is my baby fig tree, it is already growing a baby fig 🤩
Figs can prosper in Philadelphia, walk the streets of West Philly and you will see them! I got this small tree from the Philadelphia Orchard Project at their annual spring plant sale at The Woodlands (double shout-out)

The more I walk around my neighborhood, I started to notice all the trees. I found this one to be my favorite.

I’m on the wrong side of 33 and i can tell you with utmost certainty that your 20s is the most chaotic time of your life and it’s amazing that anyone actually gets anything done during them. If you’re a type a planning type personality however I would recommend:
- if you’re the sort of person who cares about diet and fitness, establish those routines in your 20s
- live where you wanna live. Don’t live somewhere you hate because you think you’ll have more fun later cos you won’t
- get a job that makes reliable money that you can tolerate and go back to if your dreams fall through. It doesn’t have to be a dream job it just has to pay the rent and not make you sad
- don't smoke cigarettes
- use sunscreen
- be as cringe as you want. People expect it from you anyway. They won’t have as much patience in your 30s.

Walking into a formal celebration and taking in everyone looking and smelling good. The smell always stays with me the most—cologne, soap, hair product, cigarettes, leather, shoe polish. Everyone so clean and proud and a little bit shy. So special.
