when jenny slate said βdomesticity is very sacred to me. making a home isβ¦ itβs just, like, the central thing in my life. when I cannot make a home, even in a hotel room, I feel really lost. putting everything in a certain place on purpose. not just, like, throwing shit down. but putting everything in a certain place on purpose and starting to sort of figure out how the trains run, basically. like, what are the paths? what are the paths in the house that youβre going to take the most and what can you line those paths with? or, in the hotel room, like, where are you going to put your journal and your book, so that youβre just starting to create little pathways in this garden and that they mark that space? I just take it really seriously. itβs sort of likeβ¦ itβs so sweet, itβs sort of like when you see children playing a game and you know theyβre marking out a world. and theyβre like, βthis is where the dungeon is! and this is where the kitchen is in the castle! and this is where the-β, and you canβt see anything but the backyard but they can see everything. thatβs what iβm doing and iβm doing it all the time. all the time. and itβs always there. even when I get into a car, I think about where iβm sitting and how iβm sitting and what iβm touching. and I just try hard to do that.β
