📝 back to basics?
I want to be more consistent in blogging here, but I think the internet has ruined it for me; there is so much friction in me when I open a new post. It was so easy in the early days before algorithms corrupted everything. These days I feel as if I need to come prepared to write about my personal experiences.
So, maybe the key is starting simple and going back to basics and writing about the mundane. I had a good weekend! Baltimore always has something going on, and this weekend had my two favorite events: Flower Mart (Friday) and the Kinetic Sculpture race (Saturday). May is also my birthday month, so I'm leaning into the things that fill my cup. I'm calling the people I care about because I'm sick of pretending I don't miss them, and I'm so very tired of mediating the important relationships through apps.
Getting back to yourself is hard, especially in a world that continues to punish people for being authentic. Humans are messy and full of contradictions, and isn't that the beautiful part? Anyway, a photo dump from the weekend because this is already a lot of words and it's making me anxious!!
