Lately I'm a thinker..
Weightless in the water
Soft shell crab

Honest, gentle, observant

I am behind the eye of a camera thats been jolted from an explosion, watching a hurricane in slow-mo. A spinning top glitching over the crack in a sidewalk.
I’m really good at
Being easily amused.
Emptying creamers and putting them back like nothing happened, wondering about the next person going to pick it up and being perplexed at why it feels empty gives me a rush of giddy excitement.
Sitting on the floor/ground and not complaining
Noticing little beauties
Going barefoot anywhere
Turning one dress into a bunch of outfits
Singing lyrics of a song to a different tune/mashups, i guess
Arranging a space/making any place feel like home
Patience/kinship with kids
Being innovative with anything from food to living situations to making a phone mount for the car when the last one broke during an uber ride, out of a keychain and a hairtie..... Just having confidence that there is ALWAYS a way to make something work and still enjoy it. Even if its laughing at the horrible shit. Smiling inappropriately and laughing is so important to me.
Bringing out the inner child in someone else

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I want to gain courage for living on the go and figure that there is a lot of insight to gather from people who have traveled more than me and dealt with the whole "Ahhh what am I even doing with life anymore" thing!

I'm lost and need to rekindle my inspiration.

Intereses

How in tune are other animals to us? When I went a seperate path than the old dog I met on the trail, and he stopped in his tracks to watch me leave instead of listening to his human, what was he thinking? Did he know I was needing a friend? When I ran up to him one last time to say bye again, was that what he wanted, or did he want to recruit me to become his next dog walker? (Which is what happened with this random encounter)
If I am standing outside of my car to greet a rider and get the door for them on the side of the car that they are coming from, why would they walk around to the other side? Why take extra steps to walk AROUND my car? Logic is interesting.

Mechanics, using what's on hand to make percussion. The way little grains of sand or rust vibrate on a surface when you use it as a drum (remind me of this spot so i can show you)

I'm in a very subdued state of being lately and need to wake up. Mostly I am just contemplating the differences between friendly expectations, romantic expectations, and aquaintanc-....tantic? Lol- expectations. I think too much for my own good and since my favorite way of being is to just be, this worries me. Need help ::/

Música, películas y libros

Something to harmonize to or impromptu play drums to, anything to help amplify a mood. Blues, folk? I'm not the best at identifying what I hear.

Source Code, John Wick, Fox & The Hound, The Lion King, Requiem For A Dream, Fat Sick & Nearly Dead, Adam Sandler, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. I probably forgot my favorite movie....

The Tao of Pooh... OH The Places You'll Go!.... For One More Day

Algo increíble que he hecho

Nested in a hammock overlooking Skyline Drive, VA & Encouraged an old couple to try it out too & gave them a photo shoot... Kept running into the same couple that day and was offered to drive their 69 Camaro!!! Paying it forward is always amazing.

Gave a water color paint set to a random man I chose to sit next to on a bench. He seemed troubled (maybe homeless?) so it meant a lot to me.

My three-legged kitty who makes me play fetch when I'm sad, trying to expand her fetch buddies to more than three.... No judgement... good random food concoctions & outbursts of song. Happy hidden notes if I remember. Doodles of you, probably.
