In
candles - cosy
saying hey siri in public - let me be hands-free
knitting - every stitch is a step forward and I think that’s beautiful
naps - always on trend
finishing things - achievement, girl boss, #slay, you go girl, yas queen, werk it etc.
not finishing things - still counts, I tried
that sudden feeling you get looking out a bus window when you realise you’re just one small person in this vast world and everyone else on the bus and outside the bus has their own complex lives going on with no thought to who you are at all - I think it’s neat
turning off the lights when you leave the room - cost of living crisis and I’m turning into my father anyway so I may as well embrace it
woodworking skills - I want to be useful in case of the apocalypse
jigsaws - not just for Christmas!
after eight mints - not just for Christmas or after eight!! unless that eight is eight am
having a flask of tea on your desk so you can pour yourself little cuppas throughout the day - cosy AND lazy, my two favourite things
Out
reading goals - it’s not about the number
getting ill - who has the time or the ability to get a GP appointment
dolphins - they look smug
the news - too depressing
magicians - they are lying to you
tits - honestly over them
the way my dog sometimes when we’re alone in the house gets up and stares at the doorway even though nothing is there - idk ghosts or something?
making new friends - I have enough, it’s a one-in-one-out policy now
guilty pleasures - it’s fine to like stuff
that double cup lid thing McDonald’s do when you get a delivery - it always leaks anyway and the layer of trapped liquid freaks me out
overusing the word just - I’ve deleted at least five from this newsletter already
sharing everything on social media - so weird when you think about it
What’s on your in/out list?
So enjoyed this. Never thought this until now about dolphins but so true
