i love quiet. i love hearing my environment, with no distractions - except maybe some ambient music now and then.

i think i’m the type of person who needs quiet to work. to really work, on something that i’m giving 100% of myself to.

i thought living on my own for the first time in my life would create the perfect space to constantly work, and give 100% to all the things i work on. turns out life still continues to happen, even when you isolate yourself. people still hit you up, bills still need to be paid, neighbors still blasting drake. you get distracted by the world, no matter where you run to.

but when i get those hours of quiet to myself soundtracking the things i love to do to pass the time - gardening, writing, reading, making music, playing skyrim… those are the moments i feel most inspired and full.

i find myself getting a lot of great ideas while driving lately. i think it’s because it’s another space where distractions aren’t allowed. i can just listen.

pulled a tarot card today: the sun, reversed.

yesterday i pulled the universe.

i feel hopeful there’s a balance between quiet and noise, where i can mine peace.
