Hi there,
A favourite time spent offline activity of mine is roaming: Wondering, wandering; with company or solo; buried deep in the woods, or drifting through thousands of swarming bodies in the busy streets of Toronto— searching for delight in all corners of reality. I get around.
Five things to share:
Nothing fun happens on the internet, so I learn little by little, I get used to getting used to. I get used to spending weekday evenings out and about because the alternative isn't social media feeds with endless junk to scroll through until I pass out from exhaustion. The alternative is plenty of time, space, and void— Ample, endless, unrelenting— demanding to be filled with anything, anything but the deafening silence of solitude. So I learn little by little to search for stuff to do IRL, to make the effort reality requires; after work, before a workout class, after an evening out and the night is still young. A fitness instructor once said to me, You either learn to love the pain or love the result. I wonder, can you learn to love both?
The ting goes skrrrahh
Pap, pap, ka-ka-ka

And a pu-pu-pudrrrr-boom
if you’re reading this, I had so much fun with you ♡ A quote I want to share with you:
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
— Seneca
Dare to dare, you can have whatever you like.
What will humans do if technology solves everything?
