everything and nothing

an island of greece and a hotel in bulgaria where much writing is done

A Sunday in July, who would’ve thought?

I’m writing this while All Star by Smash Mouth plays in the living room—it’s an evergreen experience. Great message, hype song, with just the right amount of humor remind me to hold it all with a light touch.

Am I reading too much into these lyrics? I don’t think so.

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

This audio scrapbook features:

  • pieces of Paros, a Greek island where Boyfriend and I spent a couple days before he had to clock in for another job

  • a jump to Bulgaria, where we spend 11 days in the biggest hotel I’ve ever seen

  • lots of quality time in the hotel while I wrap up a big section of the book and moreeee

And now, the visual learner corner:

and lastly, the meme I mentioned that lives rent free in my head :)

The audio scrapbook really is my little companion, thank you for listening and being here. I’ve purposefully put myself in isolated environments to access the nooks and crannies of my memory necessary to finish this book, but it’s been really comforting to build these compilations as I go. Like I’m time traveling to tell you the story as it goes? Maybe I’ll watch Arrival again and have some answers.

I hope you have a soft and expansive start to July, I’ll talk to you soon.
