life is in the little things. sometimes i'm in a beautiful moment with a loved one and i wish i could bottle it up and re-experience it on command

Sometimes I feel writer block coming but then I see someone create a really good piece of content (video/podcast/essay) every week so consistently and i feel motivated to come back to my creation process. Is this weird🙃

writing about the ideal writing environment - wonder if i should share on substack, is it too niche?? I just KNOW writers are particular about their environment - unless I'm in my flow then I can write on my phone at a diner bar (true story)

your brain inner work and wiring change when you learn a new language. learning a language is such a gift. i hope more people start doing this in these trying times, it helps us become more empathic and open to other cultures

i wrote a piece today about making a place home vs. moving to places to try to find a home (provided your current home is safe) its crazy but youre actually trapped if you are constantly in a race to find a better place. its liberating to build roots and be happy doing so

i read yesterday that constraints give meaning and i couldnt agree more. whenever I have a whole day to myself, i end up feeling like I didn't do enough but if i have an hour to write and come up with something, i am satisfied

i love local businesses where you can obviously see their intentional sourcing of products - quality, locally sources, taste, etc. make you feel cared for as a patron

It's impressive how the act of writing (even for others) can unintentionally clarify your own thoughts

@minhwrites I really really liked this one for many reasons, including her witty style that made me smile as I was reading it.

@minhwrites weirdly i think a good strategy is "have more fun". be sensitive to fun above all else, have as much fun with it as possible and be aware when its fun-ness fades. which ime was actually rather rapidly
