i have a little journal i use to write whatever i want in there☺️i think most of it can be boiled down to things that inspire me, but i put whatever i think to in there: quotes from what im reading, lists of things i like to think about or want to learn about. lists of names i like. lists of things i would like to do in minecraft. Great alternative to doomscrolling! just make lists. leaves me so much more fulfilled

i have a couple of different things i like to do:
1. reflect on the day through the senses - make a chart of things you saw, ate, smelled, touched, etc.
2. write/brain dump immediately you wake up, aka “morning pages” i tend to write a lot about my dreams from the night before and i remember them better
3. i feel like i journaled more when i let myself write in word bubbles, doodle, free association, etc.
4. subscribe to moonlists.com really great reflective journal prompt email newsletter

new journalll and it doesn’t have any specific purpose so i can make sure i use it for everything. no more self censorship with what goes in there. taking it everywhere and having it near my bed! lists, to dos, poems, thoughts, essays. a collection of physical memories

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!

Nature is so beautiful and the human desire to create meaning is so beautiful and rivers are such a peak embodiment of both!! looking at any significant river gives you so much history! just think about how the Mississippi river was a direct witness to the american industrial revolution! the history part is so fun but from that stems the symbolic meaning we assign to the things that sustain us, think how engrained the Nile is in Egyptian Mythology, the phrase 'crossing the Rubicon,' etc etc!!!! rivers are such an underrated CLASSIC piece of humanity and you can get nerdy and weird with it one of my favorites is the Colorado because of Fallout: New Vegas and I also love the Amazon because of it's geological history related to the Andes mountains <3. my favorite thing to do instead of paying attention in class is learn about rivers. rivers cuomo is cool too

i have 3 septendecillion cookies right now. love the idea of making my own idle game and choosing one specific thing to just slowly learn more and more about... but I havent decided what yet. you can tell the creators of cookie clicker had fun with it and did their research they've incorporated cookies from all over the world!!
