“Most present-day images — be they video images, paintings, products of the plastic arts, or audiovisual or synthesized images — are literally images in which there is nothing to see. They leave no trace, cast no shadow, and have no consequences. The only feeling one gets from such images is that behind each one there is something that has disappeared.”

what is your 2024 ins and outs list?

Ooh I’ve been thinking abt this since I saw the message in my inbox… here is what has flitted from my head and into my notes app... mostly these are thoughts and feelings I've had when in conversation w friends and neighbors and waiters and strangers abt new years intentions

in:

  • daily movement
  • hurricane table lamps
  • inner tubing down rivers
  • kite flying and cloud gazing
  • celebrating the faith you have in yourself
  • monthly sleepovers in your living room
  • nurturing the spiritual connection between yourself and the universe
  • weekends away from the digital realm
  • dating your friends and yourself too
  • waking up to watch the sunrise
  • taking yourself seriously while remembering that life is a friend you share inside jokes w
  • cleaning up trash from around your neighborhood
  • tending to and razing and cultivating the ecosystem of your inner sanctum
  • floating off into the cosmos sometimes
  • keeping your creativity alive
  • rice wax candles
  • being actively solicitous toward others so you exercise the muscle of practicing kindness and patience w yourself too
  • cooking at home w seasonal produce
  • veiling the interior of your life w privacy / only sharing what really matters w the people you’re closest to
  • writing by hand
  • flash photography
  • cold plunges
  • knowing that in another dimension this is your dream life

out:

  • mindless purchasing
  • setting your intuition aside
  • trying to forge common ground regardless of incompatibility
  • absorbing life’s energetic clutter
  • shrouding yourself in synthetic materials (wearing too much polyester, speaking unkindly to yourself, being disconnected from nature, etc)
  • rumination lol
  • I really want everyone I care abt to promise they’ll stop checking on people who aren’t part of their life anymore so I guess not letting the past live in your periphery...
