i am completely obsessed with this interview clip of Maya Angou describing how making peace with the inevitability of death brought her everlasting calm and presence. āeverything Iāve got is hereā
Maya Hawkes new album Chaos angel, especially her song Dark and Chaos angel. This album is much darker than her last and being very candid, unapologetic and loving. some of my favourite quotes from the album would be. āIām your guitar mute me gently with the palm of your handā āMagical thinkers trying to be friendsā
at least casually. donāt delete the accounts but donāt have the apps on your phone either. rediscover your love of reading thru the magic of recognizing titles strangers are holding on the subway. become a subway reader. donāt use sound as an escape from your thoughts/feelings/surroundings. grocery shopping without headphones is actually kind of beautiful! pick up a new hobby or two or three. one of them should be something youāre not good at, and at least one should be no- or low-cost. never. stop. learning. the library, the parks and rec department, and nearby museums offer great materials already but also usually have free lectures or courses. go outside more. like, a lot more. (took this much less literally, so apologies if itās not what youāre looking for lol ā as a narcoleptic I have no tips on how to Not Sleep since Sleep is basically my job)
