Maybe it's time to get a proper camera again.
Anyways, I plan on making bratwurst with saurkraut.
The easiest light to follow is the only one that appears in the darkness. It doesn’t need to be the biggest or brightest, it just has to exist.
I bought $100 worth of groceries today. I’ve stocked my fridge. This is so new and foreign to me, such a trivial everyday task for anyone else and I’m fawning over it like I’m the first person to discover the Americas.
I bought bratwurst and ground beef and a variety of cheese. I bought a few snack cups of chocolate-covered things. One of them contains peanuts. 🤯
I’ll go to bed and wake up in the morning without a single symptom of chronic illness.
I went to the gym, and had PRs on every lift. PRs for my entire lifting history, which really says something because I used to be fit as a mfker. Just ask my California dad, he met me at my peak and still reminds me of it. I spent all day mentally prepping, telling myself out loud, “I’m the strongest I’ve ever been,” and again when I picked up the weights, visualizing every muscle cell in my body working cohesively.
Here is the idea I keep returning to. Every version of you already exists. The version who built the business, the one who healed the relationship, the one who is physically strong and mentally clear and spiritually awake. These are not fantasies. They are timelines, suspended in the universe the way books sit on a library shelf, each one fully written, waiting to be read. Destiny wrote all of them. Your free-will is the hand that reaches for the shelf.

When I was a kid, I would make lists of things I wanted. Material items, personal accomplishments, life experiences. I didn’t paste it up on a wall to look at every day, it got shuffled away somewhere seemingly lost. For years, sometimes a decade. And every time I’d reconnect with the list, I could confidently mark every item off.

Millie got stuck under the chair today. Wrapped up in fabric, she just laid there for hours in silence. I need to teach her how to vocalize better when she’s trapped by her own silly antics.
I want to get a proper camera. Again.
During the pandemic, I would wander the coast in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep. Taking random photographs. It was lovely being able to see a different perspective of the city, without the chaos of people around. When it was resting.
I bought a proper camera for way too much money, and it sat in my office closet for years. When I moved out, I brought it with me. I packed it into my SUV when I hit the road, and it even had some time in the ambulance. But I always shot things on my phone, because I never thought ahead to bringing the camera along.
But I think I would like to get in the habit of going places without my phone, and only a camera. How would my vision change in that situation?
