I agree. As both a writer and musician who has busked in various places, it's pretty apparent how people, especially the "younger generation," have increasingly been programmed to tune out everything in their environments that's not already controlled and pre-programmed, thereby missing sounds, serendipity, and real life inspiration. Even many years ago, the Washington Post did a now famous experiment where they got the world famous violinist Joshua Bell to busk in their subway, and predictably, because he was "just a busker," almost everyone ignored him and walked right by him, due to the context..even though he was actually playing magnificently. Finally, after many minutes, a single woman recognized him and lost her shit over the fact that a world famous violinist was playing right in front of her, by the subway, for free. Be present.
i go thru ur things, i read them, I screenshot walls of texts that speak to me knowing they will sit in my screenshots folder with all the other random Reddit comments that spoke to me but that I will never “go back and mull over” —all of this to say, ur work speaks to me mad, im so excited to have this stuff to read.
same ... i have them saved in screenshots, twitter bookmarks, pinterest boards ,, overflowing. i am an advocate of going back and mulling over but it's hard especially when so many fun new walls of text are being published daily!
omg the bujo community!!! i was part of this too back in 2017! i was @inkajournal on instagram and found the whole upkeep of a bujo instagram very stressful.
hahah i saw your notebook posts and thought THIS girl bullet journals for gd sure!! i shared an acct w my friend so our aesthetic was kind of all over the place but i honestly loved it. but we did it in college and a lot of our spreads were school related, so harder to keep up w post grad. but i find it so soothing!
