I want to start by saying I totally relate to having a list of stuff I want to buy. I connected so much with that part of your post because I love looking for new things I want to buy. I took my mental list a step further and made it a list on my notes app on my phone. I’ve been checking it off as I acquire the items on the list. I love stuff and I have a lot of stuff already but that doesn’t stop me for shopping around for new stuff.

What is it about things that feel so personal? I went to the park the other day with some sketch books n my reading book and pens and colored pencils and my pencil pouch all packed on my tote with my water bottle and as I layers my items out on my picnic blanket it felt like all these items were an extension of me. Like I here I am among my water bottle and note books and pens and blanket. All items I selected. Maybe it’s the capitalist society that has imprinted these thoughts in me, or maybe it’s human nature to collect things we like and attach ourselves to them a bit...either way the feeling is there.

The thoughts I wake up with in the morning are usually about checking my phone. I’ve been trying to interrupt those thoughts by first saying I am grateful to be alive today or that I am excited for the day. Then I’ll just lay in bed and try and remember my dream.

Last night I dreamed that I loved someone so much. My last relationship ended 4 months ago and I usually dream about the, at least a few times a week. But last night I was in love with someone else, and it felt like a really healthy relationship. Something I have not personally experienced but I believe is out there. That was a very interesting dream. So I thought about that for a while before grabbing my phone to scroll.
