A week ago, I walked home from a night out. On my way back, I passed 2 tsingtao bottle, laying on the floor, on 2 different spots, totally unrelated from one to another. I thought to myself : it's too good to be true, too crazy to be just a coincidence. So I just accepted that this world is bigger than me and that if the universe wanted to put 2 tsingtaos on my journey, just let it be.

go to the dispo and see if they have something disgusting for a low price (for us it was palm wine cider for 1/2 off). walk from some place bizarre and follow the tall buildings, stop at esch bar on the path home, grab a drink at each. you’ll meet bikers, loose children, see the buds blooming all pink and gummy. while you’ve got your legs, this is life.

I can't have a beer because I am an addict, but I like thinking about one in the way that Kūkai (Japanese Buddhist guy) uses like, mandalas. I think?
I'm not an alcoholic, but NA says I'm better off not drinking, and in general I find that how much I love drinking one beer makes me more sad when the second tastes gross or I am sleepy, because drinking beer is amazing and so wonderful. I love how beer tastes and feels, but it is also about the freedom of the occasion. Having the idea of a beer. Saying yes, I am going to have that beer. Smiling. Picking out a beer. Buying a beer. Cracking open a cold one. That is how you greet the best of days.
Kukai did this whole ten step (I kinda remember it being 13....) about visualization of "states of the mind" or jūjūshin, "ju" meaning like "abode" or "dwelling," I'm not gonna translate shin because its like pre-Buddhism Japanese and its saying like "true" and "God-like" in reality so just let me lie to you and say it means "mind" which it doesn't but it can't really mean anything to you or me. god. anyway. It's this very drawn out practice of creating these mind palaces and mansions that are so intricate and real that you can experience them as almost more real than the world around you, samsara to them. Then you put a deity in the center eventually until you can feel that as real, then you swap out the deity for yourself. I could be lying this is all from the dome. But this is what created those awesome mandalas, which are more like mind palace floorplans. All of this is to say that I am beginning the accidental process of visualizing a mind-beer, which has let me continue to enjoy beer by thinking about it and all of its joys, while not drinking it. I really recommend this, even if you do drink beer.

Life has been pretty hard to figure out lately. I've been looking for a journalist internship for months now and nothing still. I'm scared that I'll fail my last year of journalism school. I'm back at my parent's place, I'm away from my friends, far from the city and far from what I used to live for. Life is rough and making pastries helps me keep some sort of control. + they're not to bad looking 😋
