12.20.2024 — hello, everyone! i’ve been busy for the past few days because of work but i wanted to do a quick drop-by here before succumbing myself to work again at our clinic 🥹

so here goes my essentials since college until now. a good and strong backpack, a tumbler, and my planner. as you can tell, beige/brown is my fave color, so that is why my stuff usually in that color. also, i have this book titled ‘wreck this journal’ by keri smith for almost 3 years now. and i just started really delving to it lately. as a person who likes everything in place, organized, and neat, it is oddly comforting to me to really do destructive acts to this book. 😅

how about you all? what are your school/work essentials? is there a book you are currently reading?

It’s called “How To Be An Explorer Of The World” and it’s by Keri Smith the creator of “Wreck this Journal”.

This book is very creative and fun and it has already made me start to think about things I never thought about and see things in a different way.

I did exploration #1, which entails you to write 10 things about where you are sitting in that moment that you hadn’t noticed when you sat down. These were my findings:

1. There are so many things on top of one another.

2. Objects have been used over and over.

3. Everything has its place 

4. Every object serves a purpose. 

5. So many diff colors = bright/mute

6. Inside is still/outside is moving

7. Objects have a history/have seen my history.

8. Different sources of light in room

9. Objects have been loves/touched

10. I can hear noises outside

I ask you to notice— what has the potential to be special?
