wood smoke

in your city, in a parking lot, somewhere nearby a wood fire is burning, car exhaust, hunidity, old rain in the air, = magical transportation to a time and place in india/guatemala/zimbabwe/Bangkok/hong kong/etc,

waves or cake

one hour surfing good Bali waves you paid for, or a nice chat for an hour? 

intl travel note tobself

stop going to the airport so late. intl check in ends 1 hour prior to departure time. 

t minus 13 days

im so excited and eager for my 3 week vacation to start. I want to explode. 

I know I will have to return to this lovely home and life. but my romantization of this trip feels built around the false sense there will be a permanent change. 

my future is blank beyond this vacation. there is nothing in my life after this vacation.
