wondering
i’ve been really into not googling something i don’t need to know the answer to immediately and just wondering about it instead. you’d be surprised how many answers you can find in yourself!!

Ugh this has always been my MO but my slightly younger, more phone-heavy partner makes fun of me mercilessly.

It’s crazy that we even have access to information that fast.

in the Trumpet of the Swan, the boy has a notebook he writes a question in every night before bed, falling asleep thinking about it... always kinda wanted to do that

GOOGLING VS ASKING THE PERSON
as i scroll on this app i go to comment and ask the person oh what’s the movie about? or where is this restaurant you’re recommending? or what is a campari soda and where the hell do i get it. but i can just google all these things! hmph. a conundrum. there’s something to not googling it and learning from someone else. i avoid going to the internet during a convo for this reason

not googling things
Sometimes the fun of a disagreement or pondering information isn’t in knowing the answer but in yapping about what you think and comparing opinions! Did this today with when the word skedaddle was first used.

greenhouse cats
if you spend time in local garden centers/nurseries, you’re liable to encounter greenhouse cats! they serve a similar purpose as barn cats, catching rodents and pests that can harm the plants, but mostly they just bask in the sunny warmth of the greenhouse. this is morris, the cat at my greenhouse. (-: he’s old as bones but is the sweetest boy. when i’m lucky, he accompanies me as i care for the plants.

having a collection
this is my shell collection. my mom use to collected them too. she filled our home with sea glass and clam shells— something i regretfully regarded as tacky when i was teenager. i spent my childhood by the ocean but we moved to a landlocked state when i was 10. i thought her collections were born of an inability to let go of the past, something i now understand as a means to preserve the connection to it— a gentle reminder. four years ago she started forgetting things. small things at first, the name of my highschool best friend or where she’d left her keys. eventually, she began to forget my tattoos and how to read. her world is full of gentle reminders now— we do everything we can to help her not forget. the collections help, serving as tangible memory links. i think my own collection was born out of this. i’ll surround her with iridescent mementos if i have to; i want her to remember. collections aren’t frivolous. sometimes, their meanings are revealed to you as they grow.
