there's something to fear that can make it so easy to feel. so easy that you forget all the great things you've created. thus i will focus on that. i will give energy to remembering what efforts i've put my heart into.

before i begin, i want to note that i'm avoiding saying "i'm doing [insert action] instead of that other action” because i want to devoid my mind from the other possibility and give it all its attention on the potential i got.

so i'm thankful on what i've done. i've read quite a lot. at some point i was reading about 8 books at a time, but i narrowed down to about four. (although i grabbed another one recently). all the books carry the theme of interconnectedness. the presentation of the theme varies, of course, but i'm thrilled to interconnect them, haha. i'll fours on writing an essay on the theme.

besides reading, i've also done copy work. i did Sam Parr's Copy That course, and since then i begun taking my favorite excerpts into a big college ruled spiral notebook. one of those five-subject ones. we'll finish that baby. you'll see.

but anyway, what a beautiful concept it is to borrow beautiful words to build your own. i hope some polished words have begun flowing in my veins. let me know if they have.

i may add some of my favorite excerpts here, too. after all, i have to meet my quota, AND there's more pretty words accessible to all.

i also took unto growing a life. not pregnant. just nursing some seedlings and taking care of some avocado treelings. one seems to like the night more than the day. his leaves drop when the sun touches them.

and i've grown some friendships. i feel as if i have a community in my city. finally.

so, we're good.
