When I think about the treatment I used to allow, I remember this always. It’s not until you’ve travelled to the ends of both that you really start to see it.

My two greatest joys and vices? Music and perfume. Often together, marking a day, a year. A feeling.

You know that feeling when you open up your podcasts app and see your absolute favourite is back with THIS!? I might need to save this for a more sacred time. Might need to light a candle. 🥹🕯️

Had a bit of a stressful work day. Looked up & saw that my 6’4” coworker (nobody else can reach that high) slapped this on my window beside the floating agate. Small things are actually the largest.❤️

Got a new magnet. If you know, you know. I certainly will NOT be explaining “I’m the frontman & you’re the guitarist with mystique” because you either have that coded into your DNA by now or you don’t. If you don’t, look up Lester Bangs and start to get educated. You still have time to be (un)cool.

Snagged two Mark Ryden art books from Book Outlet and I’m only telling you now because I’ve already safely secured my deranged animals.

Little girl at the grocery store: "I like your coat!!"
Me: "Oh wow, thank you!!"
Her: "It's so furry, can I touch it?"
Me: "Heck yeah, you can."
*discretely looking to see if her hands are covered in some sort of kid goo*

Last year I started putting more effort into Yule opposed to Christmas. Started brewing up pots of spices on the stove, taking more winter walks & thinking intentionally about the changing season.
So, I did the thing last night. And you know what? I don’t hate it.

Posted a photo of an incredible blue/pink pastel cotton candy sky this morning and a friend pointed out a detail that I’d never noticed. Funny how sometimes we miss what’s closest to us.

I feel like every person has a few defining moments from films that stick with them forever. I have quite a few, but none that I’m as fond of as this.

I generally only desire turning pages, smelling dust & letting my finger stroke down a spine, but for the first time ever I’m considering buying an e-reader.
And no, it’s not the shell from “It Follows”, though it WOULD be if they’d get their act together & just sell me one😤
