Talking about the weather

Everyone talks shit about people talking about the weather because there is a real discomfort with small talk. While I could make a whole separate post about the function of small talk, humans care so much about the weather because it’s kind of a big deal to us! Think of how much our natural environment plays a role in our moods and energy levels and overall health and well-being. Good or bad weather made a huge difference in our ability to survive and thrive, especially in a pre-industrial society without electricity or AC. So yeah, it can feel a little silly to start so many conversations by commenting on how hot/cold it’s been lately, but given how sensitive we are to weather and our environments, it makes perfect sense that we’re all a little obsessed with it.

Wind

not just breezes (which i love) but also cold, ferocious, howling winds that blow your hat off and chill you to the bone and are just so gloriously crisp and magical! if i wrote poetry it would be about the wind… so much to say!

creating artifacts of yourself

Videos. Journals. Planners. Calendars. Playlists. Spreadsheets. Letters to open in the future. Keeping track of the present (in a way that is low stakes and fun) keeps me from dwelling on the past or feeling upset about changing. It will be there for me if and when I want to return to it! And I get to dip into the things I have thought and felt and loved in the past and maybe they become part of my life again or they don't! I also love to experiment with form in the ways that I record myself. Journals are a classic, but doing something like journaling in a planner with limited space or on a calendar means you have to pick just one memory from each day. Or making playlists / watchlists / reading lists of what's important to you at a time. Embarking upon fun little challenges of discovery (places, songs, books, movies, foods) and keeping track of what you learn in an organized (or disorganized) way! Video journals or little vlogs just for yourself! Scrapbooking! Fun in the moment to create and fun in the future to rediscover.
