i always keep every slip of paper from fortune cookies, even the ones my friends don’t want. some of them may seem cryptic in the moment, but might make more sense to you in the future… and some won’t, and that’s okay too. you don’t need to resonate with every message from a fortune cookie, but the more you collect, the more likely you’ll find one or maybe a couple that speak to you, or maybe you’ll find one that speaks to someone you love… who knows!
i have a clear phone case where i keep a sticker, a message from a teabag, and two fortune cookie slips. one of them says ā€œa good evening is one spent in good companyā€ and the other says ā€œsee life through the eyes of a child, then you become truly wiseā€ <3 it’s cool to find god in these words every time i put my phone face down somwhere

One of my favourite things that exist in this world. The pure joy I get when opening one is immense. They’re so fun to keep too; like little tokens of good luck. 🧧

A victorian locket made with braided human hair and seed pearls, a photograph of someone's pet bunny I found in an old abandoned manor, a small unlabelled vial of perfume whose origins remain a mystery to me, dried four leaf clovers in my opaque phone case that nobody knows are there except me, small piece of unidentified shiny mineral that i mined as a child by smashing rocks with a hammer until said piece was unearthed... There are countless others...

Lately anxiety is not helping much, and I’m constantly drained due to exams coming up. I miss my family. I miss myself. This made me reflect on the fact that I’m still here, and also…we are such precious creatures. We diminish ourselves, but everything we touch we influence. We are way more powerful than we think we are. Anyway, let’s see what we have here: • a fraction of ā€œTHE wallā€: from left to right two postcard I bought last summer at the MusĆ©e des Beaux Arts in Bruxelles (ā€œGeorgetteā€ by Magritte, a pic of Magritte himself, on the bottom a quote I found in a fortune cookie, then a quote I found in a ā€œBacio Peruginaā€ a chocolate treat that is very well known here in Italy, on top of Magritte two Js as you can see (this is a CRAZY story), then on a post-it a quote of a thing I wrote in a sort of essay, then a poem that my best friend wrote for me, another fortune biscuit’s quote, a post-card from a place in Italy called ā€œSacro Boscoā€ (Sacred Wood, also know as ā€œParco dei Mostriā€ = Monster’s Park), it’s an old black and white photo of a young boy grazing the sheep šŸ‘), two more post-its (one from roomies one from my mom). Yes I have a thing for post-its… • books I started and I never get the chance to finish because of uni (I really recommend though ā€œWhatever arises love thatā€ by Matt Kahn aaaand to start educate urself on Palestine (if you haven’t already started you should, it’s great) ā€œMornings in Jeninā€ by Susan Abulhawa) • Abat-jour, lamp, whatever you call her, with a ā€œnecklaceā€ (bracelet I made with my granny when I was little, my wrist grew so the lamp suits it better as a lovely necklace), on top a sleep mask. • a notebook (I love it, the red one), on top my two pairs of reading glasses. • Forest green water bottle (very used, but I love her) • A ceramic jewellery holder, which was of my beloved grandmother, with jewels I inherited from her 🄺 • a thing I use to store my bangles and bracelets (my little treasure, they’re all vintage/inherited) • one of my thousands of candles (I don’t know why they ease my anxiety) and mini Corto Maltese (in my opinion a masterpiece in the world of comic-strips) themed matches.
