CALL A FRIEND IN A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE

it’s 10am somewhere .. hit up the long distance homies for distraction, company, a feeling of purpose, and to catch up with someone you love

play phone tag with distant friends!

i find it increasingly difficult in the overstimulation age to remember to connect with distant friends, especially those who live in different cities. so recently, i've taken to making a list of homies that we've agreed to randomly cold call each other when we're on long walks, late at night after hitting a club, when making breakfast, or have a moment when needing virtual company with no expectation of an answer in each direction, but an understanding that eventually the stars will align. sometimes we will miss each other 4+ times over two months before we catch each other, but the moments that we do always ground me and give me a special feeling that's difficult to articulate. there's something beautiful about it and i encourage everyone to try it out for themselves :)

putting library books on hold

go to your local library‘s website or download the app. then search for a book you really want to read. then put it on hold. it feels like online shopping but it’s free. in a few days or weeks you'll get a cute text message or email that your book is ready to pick up and you’ll get to say hello to your local librarians and procure a new (to you) book which also feels like free shopping. the most functional part of our government ily public libraries

read what you want to read

i usually find myself in reading ruts when i’m taking classes and being assigned books or when i’m trying to keep up with new releases and the “smart” books that are usually dense and long. i can usually get myself out of this rut by picking out a book that looks fun to me, like a book set on a beach or something I loved in middle school. I’m reading From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler right now and it’s just FUN!!! I also am very much not someone who feels like they have to finish a book. Life is too short. I think that helps!
