tedious reflections

so, i have this super soft blue journal i recently acquired (couple months ago?) and it's more of a means to jotting down at random times of the day the short whimsical thoughts that come about that i would usually regret not writing down.

i have made it my goal to capture and hoard these in-the-moment-super-important ramblings kinda like those eloquent streams of thought you have in the shower that you swear should win some noble prize. i always feel like i solve worldly dilemmas in my shower and it is completely gone as soon as i step out or its turned into incoherent ramblings of a two year old.

so it is a collection of wants, needs, thoughts, to-do's, reflections, quotes, book quotes more often than not etc. i have this hobby of writing down phrases, words, quotes that i like from what i am reading and just collecting them obsessively because i swear one day i will want to revisit them. also of course, inspirational things in all forms.

and now i am starting to write down, when i don't have access to a computer, new post ideas or food ideas or just random things to look up later. it has become very very useful and slowly i am learning how to actually write what i am thinking. it is a very hard thing to do for me, i tell ya. finding the words or even just writing down the thoughts in your head is so tedious at times.

why i mention this is i am thinking i will be sharing and writing some things from the journal here so be aware, some incoherent things may be coming your way. progress though right?!

p.s. as of today i am really tempted to call this blog "meeting peter at the perk" pretty sure only one person would know what that is from.
