spontaneously decided to go to a yoga class with my friend after work. it was great. but i've had such a hard time trying to get home i can't wait to peel off, have a warm bath & cuddle a hot water bottle. thank goodness for those, for real.

birthday in a few days. seeing as we haven't died by our own hands & clearly cannot, the goal, moving forward, is to live like we actually want to be here, to be part of the living. don't know how that is going to happen but... 🤞🏿

to budding scholars out there: your scientific paper is as good as your ability to present a clear and coherent storyline. without your compelling narrative, i have no reason to care about your data or findings

these spaces we inhabit are so small and circular chances that you will keep seeing the faces of people who have hurt you/you no longer want to have anything to do with are so high.

After the epic walk from the south to north Burnaby, I got a text days later from my co-saunterer that confirms this. Walking as a means of situating yourself/meaning making, cool stuff
selfie or me and co-saunterer outsidetext message from co-saunterer: 

I'm on my way to North Van
and the bridge has a new
meaning now

I look at the water and I'm like I
was right there by the plant

So much more appreciation
