something everything should do just once (if you don't enjoy it, just once is enough). you come to terms quickly with how humans treat one another. you don't matter as much as you think you do and come to understand that some work is just work. you might even get a chance to sort out your own hangups and internal thought patterns. you surrender to running around like an idiot sooner than you realize. the adrenaline pushes your limits in ways that are both funny and exhausting.you learn the value of a hard-earned fucking dollar/pound. no one really cares if you have this degree or that degree. there's someone there trying to feed their whole damn family off the check you're using to fund like studio time or catch a flight somewhere. I'm speaking to my experience in the UK where there are no gigantic gorgeous tips to be anticipated at the time of payment...just a service charge that people can just decided not to pay and you'd be surprise how many folks take it off. all this alone is humbling.

It’s underpaid, undervalued, strenuous, and sometimes hazardous labor. Go to restaurants that pay their kitchen staff fair wages and ideally also do tip sharing with the kitchen

it’s like a kitchen and dining room at home but you pay and someone else will cook and clean for you

It’s been so long since I‘ve woken up and felt inspired to make the day my bitch. I miss being silly, I miss feeling gratitude. I want to notice life again; feel the pulse of the earth beating alongside mine.
I spend my time dulling myself on Instagram, or dreaming about my future in the mountains or ocean or California—somewhere magical where I’m happy.
Be where your feet are. That’s the mantra that was grinded into me a few summers ago. Be present and you’ll be happy. Somewhat, I’ve been trying this. meditation once a week or occasional yoga. But I’m not doing enough to make a serious impact.
May this post be my marker. The year is pretty much still fresh, spring is coming (hopefully), and I pledge to be more presen. I shall wake up ready to happy light and go to bed with a belly full of tea. Let the joy return!!!!!!

Sometimes I hear a melody or harmony or rhythm thats so sweet or brilliant or grooving that I get almost mad. A brew of hope, jelousy, and pure apreciaton wells in my stomache crescendoing to a twisted face hanging off a dancing head.

I haven't lived very long, but so far in my expirence love and grief have made me feel most human. There are plenty of other feelings that connect me to life & the beauty of living, but love and grief seem to be the most potent.
Do we appreciate these emotions because they make us feel complex & beautiful, or is it because of the pure, visceral intensity of the feelings themselves?
I asked AI, and it told me it would never biologically be able to understand what it feels like to experience an emotion. That made me cry.
