Went to the beach twice so far this summer — first trip is pictured here, taken by a fellow pi.fyi’er :’) it felt peaceful floating over the rolling waves and then laying out and resting at our group’s setup. Listened to Clairo’s new album earlier that day and now I have it forever linked to that memory.
I had been thinking about the fact that i’ve never been to the beach during wintertime and I’d very much love to, so I went on a day trip my dog. I had been feeling kinda blue for various reasons and instead of fuelling my melancholic state, walking on empty beaches with my headphones on and watching my dog run around was one of the biggest mood lifters as of late. I felt pacified in a way which my urban lifestyle would never allow me to. Just trust me and go to the largest body of water near you. It can be truly beautiful!!!
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with.
You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info.
I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.
