February 18

Sitting on the airplane currently waiting to depart for NYC.

I had a great morning of snappable things. A cat that was legit mean mugging me. Woven keychains at the airport that said “bad boy” and “bad girl.” I obviously bought both. And then of course had to snap my food buffet at the lounge.

And whilst I was doing such things, enjoying the lounge, the travel life, the rush of passing by the plebeians waiting to go through the expanding security line, I realized how much I just loved traveling. And just being an idiot writing about it apparently. But man did I feel like myself again. I’ve been so consumed chasing pleasure and not peace, boys for cheap thrills, that I think maybe I lost myself a little. And when I was back in the airport, man, I felt great. Like back on home turf. Less afraid to send that dude who doesn’t answer back MORE snaps. Less afraid to just do me, ya know? When you are doing your thing completely, the people who appreciate stay, and the people who don’t leave. And that’s not a loss. I need to stop seeing that as a loss. That’s just room for more.

Last night I watched this mini documentary called Jacob. This guy was so smart. Chasing love. So human. So humble. So smart. People are amazing. He has like a dozen degrees. But point is, people are cool and thirst for life is important.

One final anecdote before signing off as proof people are amazing. I saw a tik tok this morning of a man with two tumbling Jenga towers built with a glass of wine on each. There’s a red table cloth underneath. The man puts the edge of the table cloth between his butt cheeks and spins around with speed…. and pulls the table cloth out from under the towers and wine without spilling a single drop.

PEOPLE ARE AMAZING.
