writing down funny shit your friends say or do

I feel like a lot of the time me and my friends never remember what someone said, just how hard it made us laugh. So if it’s REALLY funny, I’ll quote them in my notes. So whenever someone says, “do you remember when ____ said/did this” I’ll search their name and find it, instead of us blanking for 10 minutes. Pros: It makes me feel like a friendship historian. it’s definitely improved my memory/recall ability. and it also feels good to remind them that I care about the things that they say.

Writing down the funny things your friends say

My friends are so funny I'm legally obligated to document it. Plus you're practicing being an active listener and people will accidentally tell you things they would like for their birthdays.

replacing embarrassment with endearment

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333 this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do. i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

journals as archives

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!!!!!!!
