filling a notebook with random conversation phrases overheard from strangers

writing 100 poems in one week (inspired by @alwaysbringabookwithyou)

creating moodboards for your friends

reading challenges of any kind

creating playlists for different moods, seasons, times of the day

turning an unused notebook into an art journal

writing short stories on words from a random dictionary page

learning everything about a certain year or historical period

Previously, I’d only seen the first two panels and assumed it was the complete comic.

This version is much better.

Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It’s old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It’s waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It’s churches that are compelling enough to enter. It’s McDonald’s being a luxury. It’s the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. It’s the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is accented sex after good wine and too many unfiltered cigarettes. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It’s a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It’s the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It’s sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend. Travel is “Maybe I don’t have to do it that way when I get back home.” It’s nostalgia for studying abroad that one semester. Travel is realizing that “age thirty” should be shed of its goddamn stigma.

Hello #25. My gift to all-- a picture of me taking a quick dip in the fountain of youth in the middle of nowhere. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has made life more tolerable for everyone they've met, thank you for giving a shit and knowing your worth and for treating yourself always. Also, thank you for voting. May everyone's day be filled with donuts and deep breaths. If you're also free tonite, I'll be singing karaoke at landmark.

3/14/16 We were sipping a cup of intelligentsia somewhere in this dreary chicago day. It's been raining all morning as we made the twenty minute walk to the coffee shop in the rain. And even though it was a Sunday I haven't seen the skyline all weekend. "you were meant to live in a big city," he told me. I avoid looking at him straight in the eye, as though avoiding the truth that I didn't want to hear. "You become more energized, you really come alive here."

What is it with big cities, something that I insisted I would see in milwaukee, even perhaps bring the sunshine to it. And at that point, a switch has been flipped and I suddenly found myself so detached to it. I suddenly became so disinterested in waking up this sleeping giant. I want to see the world, see the streets of another city, ready to start a new. I needed to thrive, surround myself with like-minded motivated folks who gave a shit about other things beyond binge drinking, dreamers, disruptors, people who were willing to fight for something.

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.

Please know that there are much better things in life than being lonely or liked or bitter or mean or self conscious. We are all full of sh*t. Go love someone just because, I know your heart may be badly bruised, or even the victim of numerous knifings but it will always heal even if you don’t want it to, it keeps going. There are the most fantastic, beautiful things and people out there, I promise. It’s up to you to find them.
