I’ve had a lot of big ideas in my head lately that all sound great in theory, but thinking about what I have to do to finish them is building up dispiriting feelings. Realizing that I’ve used those feelings in the past as an excuse to not have to try, so for the rest of the year, I’m reminding myself to see things through regardless of the outcome.

maybe that sounds a little annoying, but i used to wait around for a surge of manic energy to hit me in order to find the motivation to get out of bed and do things. these days, i try to remind myself that i matter, and if i care about myself then i should do things for my mind and body that are fulfilling. this isn’t perfect, and there are definitely still bad days. but you owe it to yourself to try, i hope things get easier :)

I've been in a rut since October and I have been too paralysed by guilt and depression to build back up. But I'm getting there.
I'm in therapy to work through things and tackle some behavioural issues. I have a bunch of concerts on the horizon that I bought tickets to when I was Really Deep In It and just needed to fill my calendar with things to look forward to, and I'm starting to feel the excitement for them. Ive been resetting my wardrobe with some thrifted/second hand shopping and i'm going to a big vintage fair in The Big City near my birthday.
The cats I live with are starting to trust me and I'm starting to be a better roommate, both in terms of being sociable and contributing to chores and such.
I still have a long way to go, but considering that not even three weeks ago I could barely get out of bed, this is an improvement. I'm working towards the goals I have set to better myself, and I'm doing what I can to keep myself going while I work towards being capable of doing more good. I can't do better if I never Do Anything, so I need to trust myself to do things again 🤷♂️

one day i was on the work computer and i wanted to find more Fruits Magazines and came across dozens of pdfs on are.na!!! it's catered towards design and architecture students it's the loveliest tool as a casual internet user. it's self financed with premiums (no ads) plus it's minimalistic and easy to use - it organizes pictures, websites, and pdfs into these sections called channels. there is no algorithm it's purely based on hunter and gatherer vibes i started using it recently and have found countless channels of historical zines, 90s/2000s perfume ads, bare bone websites built with just html, old blogs, and so much more. i think perfectly imperfect and are.na are proof that the internet is well and alive!
just attached one of the channels i follow it's a collection of vintage Japanese advertisements and graphics :*)

weird as in cool and eclectic and niche
i follow an artist who works with mold, a guy who does art on Desmos, an old guy who makes milkshakes, a collector of Japanese photography, a ginger guy whose name i can't remember but they're super into ancient languages and translation, a number of fashion archivists and fibre artists, and more
instagram will be more fun and you will scroll reels less

i love this band so much. i saw them x3 during their residency tour this year and each time was otherworldly. james murphy is a phenomenal performer and a magician at what he does. i can't get enough of them i will see them until my pockets run dry
the first time i was with a friend and her friend. we drank red wine beforehand. i cried a lot at this show. seeing the disco ball light up and hearing all my friends for the first time was breathtaking
the second time i was with a friend and we did substances. substances make everything undeniably better i will not be obnoxious about that but i felt like james murphy was singing inside of my bloodstream and every instrument on stage echoed inside me esp nancy's keyboard
the third time i was completely sober! this was very emotional. this was the last tour and the last time i knew i was going see my friend since they live many miles away
