Keeping stuff and things
I love stuff and i love hanging onto things. I love that i have a stack of letters my friends and i wrote and passed back and forth in class at 13 years old. I love that i still have the fake menu my best friend and i made when we were 8 for our fake restaurant that only served bug-based dishes. I love that i have a drunk love note scrawled on toilet paper at 3 in the morning in 2012. seemingly meaningless things like this from my past help remind me that I’ve actually led a wonderfully full life despite often feeling like I’ve not done enough.

Omg yes! I was shocked to find out people don't keep every birthday card they were sent, I was like what do you mean you throw it in the bin after ????

The exact reason I started a junk journal. I love to keep little things like receipts, stickers, labels, and whatnot.

getting distracted by the things you find while cleaning your room
take that little trip down memory lane. look through those photos. read through that old notebook. maybe it’s junk but maybe it’s special

Never changing
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

everything non digital
i am nostalgic for wHen the world had weight. when memories weren’t just saved but heLd. receipts folded like secret letTers / coins scraped together in sweaty palms / counted twice - just enough for ice cream. i miss the peRmanence of ink on paper / the way library books carried the scent of stRangers / the way a handwritten note felt heavier than a hundred unread messages. there was something reAl in the effort. rewinding a cassette to hear your favorite song agAin / flipping through photo albums with smudged fIngerprints / taping concert setlists to bedroom walls - as if pinning the moment in plAce. now things slip through fingers like liGht. tickets are qr codes, letters are piXels, memories exist in the cloud, weightless and waitIng, but never quite ours to hold.

A cup of Tea
my solution for most situations. sad? have a cup of tea. tired? have a cup of tea. had a great day? no better way to end it than with a strong cup of tea. i use joko (a South African tea brand) and add two sugars and milk.

The word “moist”
how did this become such a widely despised word? I LOVE IT. it sounds exactly like what it means and feels so good on the tongue.
