I love that emails can be a tiny little organised space - they can look beautiful and present information in an exciting, careful way. I love then, that by extension, your inbox can become lots of little rooms that you can pop in and out of at will. Each one looks and sounds completely different - blues, purples, greens

I think we tend to romanticize letters a lot, and for good reason, but this often comes at the expense of devaluating emails so I just wanted to share my love for emailing.
I send a lot of emails at work and I tend to enjoy it. I like how ridiculous office lingo is, I like designing my special signature at the end of my emails because it makes me feel creative and important. I like sending a long and thoughtful email to my friends or my professors in university, like you would do with a letter but without having to pay for stamps, wait forever for it to arrive, or having to worry if it will get lost.
I also like that it’s not as instantaneous as texting, but just enough for it to feel timely. Also because it’s not suuuper instantaneous, it kinda feels more intimate, or like a rare pleasure.
I like sending emails to my friends. Email pen-palls rock. Send more thoughtful emails :)

I don't feel much like I have a sense of purpose unless I have a good piece of mail coming my way. Sometimes now I even accept PR offers for things I only vaguely am interested in just for the thrill of opening a box. It's actually maybe sort of a bad thing, though I let nothing go to waste. Emails fulfill this urge to an extent, too. I check my emails more than any other app.

i live in london at the moment - it's awesome, and there's so much to do at any given opportunity (for remarkably cheap). like i've been decision paralysed today because there are so so many movies that i want to see all happening on the same day next week, which kind of articulates the best and worst bits about london - so much opportunity, all the time, which could all theoretically be yours but is just out of reach. i know that example seems really trivial but like on a larger scale it feels like everyone is cooler and more literate and more cultured than you and it's a constant battle to see more and do more and be more. it's a privilege in itself to have that and want that but it's still overwhelming

I love being surrounded by liquid. all my body is liquid. having hot water on your head while having a coffee feels like being in the womb.

what a motherfucking thing this is - the arrival of sun has been glorious. i've breathed, i've walked, i've cheered, i've shouted, i've fist pumped the air, i've cried, i've stood and cheered. It's absolutely everything I hoped it was going to be and I'm so proud to be in it
